Several years ago, I discovered in my mailbox a mysterious thick letter.

The letter was addressed to someone else, but since I could not find who the addressee was, I opened the envelope.

It contained five pages of handwritten book titles and authors on each side, with a price tag for each book.

Among the hundreds of titles, they were a series of about 20 books of an author named Mickhael Omraan Aïvanov.

Mickhael Omraan Aïvanov

I was attracted by the titles of these books, and since their price tags were no more than 2 or 3$ each, I bought them all.

Mickhael Omraan Aïvanov, who passed away in 1986, had been an enlightened spiritual teacher for more than 50 years in the South of France, coming from Bulgaria in the 1930’s where he was mentored by another spiritual teacher named Peter Deunov.

When I started reading the first book, I was immediately fascinated by the pragmatism and the deepness of his teaching.

Since a few years now, I receive his ‘thought of the Day” from the Editor which distributes the enormous teaching corpus he left as his legacy to humanity.

The “Thought of the Day” I received last Thursday was all about truth and gave me an answer to a question raised by the Article 11-25 of the Master Key which says “The truth must be told to each generation and to every people in new and different terms”, followed by an example of a same truth shared by Jesus, Paul and the modern science.

The question is “How can we recognize an affirmation as a truth when it is stated and heard for the first time?”

The answer can be found in the following explanation of truth by Aïvanov…

Only the knowledge of the psychic structure of the human being can enlight the question of the truth. This structure lays on three fundamental factors: the intellect, the heart and the will; they think through their intellect, they feel through their heart, and the will, energized by the intellect and the heart, drives them to act…The ideal of the intellect is to manifest wisdom, the heart to manifest love, and the will, which results from both, has for ideal to manifest the truth. This means that the more the thoughts of their intellect aim at wisdom and the feelings of their heart aim at love, the more they are in the truth. Could it be simpler?
One gave to truth all sorts of definitions which only created confusion. In reality, it is impossible to define it, because it does not exist as such. Only love and wisdom exist, and it is the union of love and wisdom which gives birth to truth.
Can you find the answer to the question “How to recognize the truth?” in this powerful affirmation of Aïvanov?
With love,
