First Steps on the Land of Quebec
"It would be very beautiful if we could, during this year, structure and strengthen further the circle of work for the egregore of peace. Such an egregore exists on earth, guardian of veritable peace, and it is towards it that those who aspire to peace must make their luminous thoughts, their prayers, their meditations converge."
The egregore of the Dove, formed by the greatest initiates at the price of great sacrifices, and notably by the Virgin Mary, has been maintained and vivified through the ages by the current of Saint John. It is the task of the School to accomplish anew this work for the good of all beings and Olivier Martin decides to write a book on this subject, which he entitles "The Egregore of the Dove".
A disciple recounts: "For several years we practised the 'Round of Peace', we had consecrated Thursday for this work. We began at a precise hour and, each one at home, we took turns so as to accomplish a ceremony for peace in an uninterrupted way. We are a small group to have participated in this Round of Peace for several years, as a service to the 'egregore of Peace' for humanity and the earth. It is on this model that later the first Round of Archangels was thought out and elaborated."
In several cities, the most audacious will also invest themselves so as to constitute working groups named "workshops", whose task is to study and activate all that has been transmitted. The Teaching is communal and it asks to be shared in friendship and brotherhood.
"The luminous being who directs our School of Life and Spirit needs groups of students so as to incarnate himself more effectively and touch the earth and humanity. We thus call all brothers and sisters of good will to enter the apprenticeship and the service. The warmth of a group gathered around the same ideal in simplicity, good humour, respect and unselfishness can become an inestimable help on the path."
Through such actions, Olivier Martin knows that the work can take on its full dimension and anchor itself in the heart of each one and in the reality of the earth. Meeting in a warm atmosphere so as to break the chains of isolation is part of the objectives of the School.
The same year, a circle of disciples guided by Olivier rises so as to activate and vivify the current and teaching of the Templars. The Order of the Temple was originally a religious and military order arising from the Christian chivalry of the Middle Ages, whose members were called the Templars.
This order was created on January 13, 1129 from a militia called the Poor Knights of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon and it worked first of all during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in the accompaniment and protection of pilgrims to Jerusalem in the context of the holy war and the crusades before constituting throughout all Christian Europe a network of monasteries called "commanderies". Its teaching has remained secret and still remains today surrounded by a great mystery.
"The work of the Templars is one of the most incredible works that has existed on earth, a real attempt to create a kingdom of the Light, a democracy where all religions could come to an understanding, in purity, with a school and teachings of a high wisdom.
The cross of the Templars, constituted of four triangles, is the secret of life, it was the ankh cross: it is man with the head, the arms, the body. This cross was the crossroads, the crossroads of paths, it was the meeting, it was life.
The Templars had a direct bond with a higher order, they had a mission and they wanted to build Europe. Joan of Arc was a Templar, as well as Lord Gilles de Rey, Christopher Columbus and many others. In the Order of the Temple, the Templars were beings who protected pilgrims on the holy land. But the holy land was not at all Palestine or Jerusalem, which have become objects of covetousness and war. The 'holy land' meant Salem, peace, which was to enable one to find first of all inner peace, then to seek it outside.
We must set aside all things that come from the new age and truly enter the state of mind of the true disciple, the one who touches the depths, sincerity, the love of God, honest and clear things that have already been worked on in the past. Because, in those times and at all times, the students of the current of Saint John, the Cathars, the Templars, the Rose Cross and primitive Freemasonry turned towards the earth of Light and they pronounced an oath each year, the oath to serve this earth of Light with purity and honesty. You can then feel an original kingdom that is the very archetype of all goodness, clarity, harmony, serenity, and discover the other inside you, the being, the celestial spouse."
Ready to evolve together in this Templar resurgence bound to Archangel Michael and to initiations of former times, the Essenes gather in secret so as to revive this ancient forgotten knowledge. This Templar movement will be accompanied and followed some time later by the teaching of the Rose Cross.
In the autumn of 1995, upon the invitation of Guy Paradis, a Quebecois Essene who is fond of the Teaching, Olivier goes for the first time to Quebec so as to give some lectures there in the city of Rawdon. Diane Latendresse, who helps with the organization of these meetings, keeps today precious memories of what will come about following this first contact: "I met Olivier thanks to the book 'The Sun of Shamballa'. It was the departure of a great adventure. I rapidly discovered in him a great attraction for Quebec, and we had the pleasure of receiving him in our country numerous times over the space of about ten years before the purchase of the Quebecois Essene lands. We organized for him lectures, seminars and we were able to guide him throughout this country that he particularly favours."
Olivier begins, at 31 years old, to carry the Teaching on the American continent. It will indeed be his first steps on this land of Quebec that calls him. Olivier feels there the gentleness and vibration of a sacred land and its people have open hearts and a great broadness of mind.
He has just finished writing the book "The Opening of the Rose of the Heart", but its publication is put on hold because of financial difficulties within Télesma Editions. By chance, generous donors will enable the publication of the book. The author transmits there a force of soul and the possibility of renewing all things through the fire of the heart. This book is a veritable treasure, an open door upon a higher world and the earth of Light.
