We are here at the Bonfin in this room, within these four walls; but we are also in the district of Fréjus. Where is Fréjus? In the Var. The Var is in France, France is in Europe. Europe is a continent that is part of the world. And the Earth? It’s part of the family of planets in the solar system. We are therefore part of the solar system. The solar system in turn is part of a galaxy. And this galaxy is a very small part of the cosmos… Yes, it’s amazing: we who are in this room are in the cosmos at the same time!

So, what conclusion can we draw? Since we are cosmic beings, we should not eternally limit ourselves, but open our eyes and tell ourselves that we have to undertake cosmic work.

We believe that it is impossible to act so as to help humanity to improve itself, we tell ourselves: “There are so many of them, it’s impossible”. Of course, it’s huge, it’s gigantic, but if we knew certain methods, it would be possible.

For example, try to imagine that humanity is condensed into a single being… yes, imagine the whole world as a being who is there close to you, and you hold his hand and give him a lot of light, a lot of love. At that moment small particles of your soul will leave in all directions, and what you do for that being will be reflected on all humans, who will begin to have greater thoughts and desires.

If there were hundreds, thousands of people on Earth to do this exercise, then you would see a new breath, a divine breath passing through the creatures and one fine day, without knowing why, they would awaken completely transformed.
