1998-1999
Approaching the Year 2000
"Despite the troubled time that the earth and humanity are going through, I would like to anchor in your soul a seed of hope in the vision of a radiant future. This future is on its way and it is because humanity turns a deaf ear and has not yet voluntarily committed itself to it that numerous problems assail it on all sides without it managing to resolve them. The cosmic intelligence pushes it towards a new life and a new consciousness, but humanity remains desperately hung onto its ancient form of existence. Without a culture of this new love, it is not possible to enter the real change and to know a new life filled with eternity and immortality."
It has now been about ten years that Olivier Manitara has been teaching, that he instructs those who are near him as well as those who come to listen to him. He sees that men have false and erroneous conceptions about the divine world. He knows that few men accept the idea of a spiritual guide whom one follows in humility. The world evolves in the contrary sense, each one persuading himself that he is right and losing himself in worlds of illusion. He glimpses that, in times close at hand, in the heart of a civilization that has lost the sense of the sacred, men will no longer be able to have a just vision of the higher worlds such as they are in reality. Moreover, the path leading to the awakening of consciousness remains narrow and demands assiduous work, perseverance, constant concentration and vigilance.
A little hostility makes itself felt within the commune of Saint-Affrique, close to Terranova. Indeed, the authorities begin to refuse to grant building permits and to keep them at a distance. In this context, Olivier Manitara feels that they must support each other and remain in great stability.
He finishes that year writing the book "The Teaching of Jesus the Essene". He explains there notably that in his time, by transmitting a profound initiatory teaching, Master Jesus worked on the future of humanity through the intermediary of his students thus prepared. The students had to accomplish many exercises and work on themselves, on their own matter according to the directives taught. The master said that when individuals unite freely around a divine idea and begin an individual work in the sense of this idea, if they are a sufficient number, they carry inside them all of humanity and they can make it evolve.
This school, always present on earth, manifests itself in a cyclical way, in the image of breathing in the human being. At certain moments, it works openly, teaches; at other moments, it is closed and works in a secret and invisible way.
"Master Jesus was the revealer of a divine teaching cultivated by a brotherhood in secret for centuries. The time had come for this brotherhood to harvest and to sow the souls. The Essenes considered their brotherhood as the presence on earth of the teaching of the Sons of God. They were the Light that shines in the darkness and that invites the darkness to transform itself into Light.
From their work emanates a communal spiritual force that is like a sun in the soul of the earth and of humanity. Jesus also transmitted to them songs, sounds, words, dances and movements that had to be executed in a particular state of mind and with great inner purity so as to produce certain effects in oneself and in the soul of the earth. He taught that, in this way, very pure spiritual beings that inhabit the soul of man and of the earth could be awakened, nourished and strengthened in the will of the heavenly Father."
Today, parcels of this teaching are spread about and a new time of harvest and sowing has arrived. And in the course of this year 1998, Olivier changes once again the name of the School, which becomes the School of the Seed.
"Know how to sow the world with the Light. Make the seed of the Common Good grow and spread it everywhere in simplicity, humility, discretion, love of others.
Be like the sun, the air, the water and the earth, which bless and heal all beings in the name of the Father and of the Mother. There exists nothing more beautiful on earth than a soul fecundated by the light of the Teaching and which bears fruits in profusion for the good of all."
The summer university will follow the path of the Pyrenees, direction Mount Soularac, sacred mountain, and the castle of Montségur, in Ariège. This time, Olivier Manitara desires to deposit there the blue stone of peace and to purify the places around the castle. He would like to unveil to his students some of the mysteries that are present there. Olivier Rochers remembers some unforgettable moments of this journey: "We entered inside the castle of Montségur, with all the curiosity that the history of the Cathars aroused in us. Suddenly, Olivier heard the song 'I Belong to the Light', which accompanied the Cathars during their last night, and we vibrated in unison before the depth and emotion that this song emanated.
During this stay, we climbed to the summit of Mount Soularac. Olivier spoke to us a great deal about the apparition of Archangel Michael in certain very precise places of these mountains and of the teachings that the Archangel gives to initiates who come to pace these summits so as to meet him."
To conclude this initiatory journey, a ceremony having as objective "the healing of the fire that burned the Cathars" was accomplished during the seminar that followed.
One year later, in June 1999, Olivier Manitara has a vision of the future earth and humanity. He speaks of it in these terms:
"My friends, I wish to share with you an experience lived not long ago and which can become rich in meaning in its simplicity for those who aspire to better understand the time we are living. One night, the intelligence of the invisible world guided me in the subtle kingdom of the earth. It showed me the earth and humanity in their spiritual body in formation. I then saw an influence that separated them. Man loses the consciousness of the earth that carries him and of his ancestors living in it. He forgets the meaning and beauty of the earth and thus cuts himself off from the reality of his eternal veritable being.
I saw forces of a great beauty more than ever at work in the etheric of the Earth Mother. I saw coloured temples and places of wisdom. I saw humanity binding itself more and more through its passivity and its indifference with metallic and electronic beings that conduct it towards illness and the dispossession of the self. I above all saw the egregore of the Dove which was chased from the earth by a sly and determined mental force.
Veritable peace was obliged to rise into the spiritual heights and to leave men. This sly force took hold of the idea of peace so as to sow confusion, ignorance in humanity. I meditated on this vision and I now think that if the invisible world showed me this, it is because our school community is committed on earth for peace. We must continue to keep a living bond with the egregore of the Dove so that it remains on earth through the intermediary of our school in formation."
During the summer of 1999, in the heart of the month of August, about ten Terranovians make the decision to leave for a stay in Bulgaria. Indeed, all the disciples of Master Peter Deunov coming from all horizons gave themselves a meeting in the mountains where Master Peter Deunov used to go. They have the intention of meeting on August 19, 1999 in a precise place in the Rila mountains. Aurianne and Fabrice Moyrenc were part of the team and recount their journey:
"We left around August 16, 1999, for there was a great meeting planned on the shores of the lake of Rila, there where Master Peter Deunov loved to speak to his students. This gathering seemed to have been requested by the master himself, during his lifetime, for this date of August 19, 1999. We arrived at the monastery of Rila, and from there we took an entire day to reach the lake near which the master had taught.
The next day, when we finished our journey, we found between 1000 and 2000 people who were dancing the Paneurhythmy of Master Peter Deunov on several circles, accompanied by about ten musicians.
We managed to join the group to dance. It was truly impressive. We strongly felt the magic of Master Deunov through his disciples gathered, as if that day, he was present with us inside all the circles."
Olivier Manitara was not able to leave with the group. Indeed, his daughter Fanny is born on August 16, 1999, three days before the gathering.
Olivier dispenses numerous teachings on the living symbolism hidden behind each celebration of the year. In a book that appears at the end of the year, he reveals and describes in particular the wisdom of Christmas such as one must understand it in reality. Christmas has always existed, it is a celebration of living nature celebrated by all spirits. It does not belong to a particular religion, but to all men beyond all frontiers. It is a solar celebration of the birth or rebirth of the Light. All children to be born in the year are conceived at this time. They themselves represent the renewal of life in the respiratory rhythm of humanity and of the earth.
"Dear brothers and sisters, the celebration of Advent will unfold from November 11 - the ancient Saint Martin's Day - to December 24. During the 40 days of Advent, the Light alliance of masters works so as to prepare the coming of Christ in the reality of the earth. These are holy mysteries in which each one can participate. It is evident that the Light must be welcomed with purity and love. This celebration of Advent will take in the future a very particular dimension for our school."
The year 2000 approaches and the entire world is in effervescence. This passage is a mirror that reflects the consciousness and the way of living of all humanity. Christ came 2000 years ago as a guide and a friend so as to conduct men in the mystery of beauty, of love, of strength, of intelligence and of consciousness. The word "Christ" signifies: the master of mystery, the one who has penetrated the secret of life and who can reveal it. He existed before Jesus and has not ceased to manifest himself after him.
Olivier Manitara advances towards the third millennium, followed by his close disciples and all those who desire to adhere to this knowledge, to this tradition in the resonance of numerous lives in which they have already worked together for the glory of the divine world on earth.
