1989

Bulgaria

Olivier thus established himself for a few months in the Pyrenees, in Serrelongue, not far from the small village of Trassoulas where Master Mikhaël Aïvanhov lived during a period of his life. He gains there a strength, a foundation, a great clarity.

It is then that he veritably enters spiritual contact with an ancestral tradition of Light that belongs to all men: Johannite Christianity. He also receives a great number of teachings, several of which on the theme of the Revelation of Saint John, and which for the most part will unfortunately never be published.

During this period, Olivier will know the opportunity to converse with a clairvoyant by the name of Judith Henry, who had known Master Mikhaël Aïvanhov.

"As soon as she saw me, she said: 'You are the same as Peter Deunov and Mikhaël Aïvanhov, you are the same and you are going to become the same!' I never believed her. It took me years to perceive that in reality, it was true. When Master Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov arrived in France, he was a master. It took him years to accept it. This man doubted who he was for a very long time, it is astonishing. He is all the more admirable for it, greater."

Télesma Éditions pursues its advancement and publishes a first book by Peter Deunov, "The Testament of Colours," written by the very hand of the master addressing himself to his closest disciples. This work explains how, through the living colours activated through this book, the radiance of the spiritual masters can come and flood the disciple, communicating to him the energy necessary to triumph over all difficulties. Thus, a sun of peace and harmony can come and illuminate him inwardly. The initiates of the past had hidden in the Bible magical phrases with extraordinary energetic powers. Through the power of sounds, of words, they healed, freed beings. The secrets revealed in this book propose to the disciple rituals and practices enabling to activate the virtues of the seven rays of colour.

"I found 'The Testament of Colours' through a sister of the Universal White Brotherhood who was in Rennes and who brought me photocopies of this book. I met many disciples of Masters Aïvanhov and Peter Deunov who all transmitted something to me in their manner, and even offered me the Bible of Master Deunov."

That year, Olivier, his companion Magali and a friend of the Teaching decide to leave for Bulgaria so as to bring back other writings of Master Peter Deunov. Arrived in Sofia, they let themselves be guided by their intuition and go near the tomb of the master, in a public garden.

"There is something that pleased me and surprised me when I went to Bulgaria to the tomb of this master, Peter Deunov, this luminous, extraordinary being, like Christ, eternally there. Before his tomb, a vine had been planted, it entered the tomb and the grapes came out of it. We were there just at the right period, so, with religiosity, I tasted. 'Take and eat, this is my body,' which means the body of Christ, of all our ancestors, of all the forces."

This magical place will enable them to meet Bulgarian disciples who came to meditate. They invite them, offer them hospitality and will serve as guides for them through the Rila Mountains, making them discover the places where the master lived. But life in the mountains of Bulgaria seems harsh to them and demands courage and will.

"I remember having spent a night at the summit of Moussala, at 3,000 metres altitude. I had no fire and I almost did not sleep so much I was cold. It was a trial, but when the sun finally rose, majestic, and it set the horizon ablaze, my entire body drank the warmth of its first rays and I felt myself reborn.

When one finds oneself thus on the summits or in the mountain, one can have the experience of another life more intense and richer. To contemplate in the morning the illuminated summits when one still stands in the penumbra is to understand subtly the meaning of life, it is to taste the reality of the summit and of superior consciousness in oneself and in humanity. To return then into the valley is to plunge into the kingdom of shadows. Yes, the mountain is still a magical and privileged place, a powerful school of life and efforts that can show humans that very often, they have taken the shadow for reality."

Encounters with the stenographer and certain disciples of Peter Deunov enable Olivier to obtain precious documents written by the very hand of the master. Thus, through the unforeseen richness of this journey, he will be able to publish in 1989 "The Sacred Words of the Master," in which Peter Deunov defines his mission himself: "I am sent from the divine world to proclaim love and to apply its strength and its power in the world." This book affirms the certitude of the existence of a sublime world from which each one comes. Each phrase is a condensed form of Light that only asks to illuminate the reader.

This same year, Olivier publishes "The Magical Priesthood of the Elect Priests" by Martinès de Pasqually. This work reveals in an admirable way what was previously hidden about the history of Martinism and of initiatory Christianity.

"In reality, the writings of Martinès de Pasqually make me come back into my own tradition, because the Elect Priests are the elect of Enoch and the ideas of Martinès de Pasqually are the ideas that one finds today, in a completely different way, in the advent of the Essene Nation. But when, being young, I had entered this current, I had perceived after a certain time that it too was extinguished, and I had decided to pursue my own path."

The following year appears "The Art of Divine Song" by Frida Theodosy, which reveals a unique method of spiritual development and cosmic union through the voice, following the teaching of Masters Peter Deunov and Mikhaël Aïvanhov. Certain doors of Initiation open only before one who knows the art of magical song. Man must learn to sing consciously to penetrate the kingdom of living nature. He unites himself then with the universal symphony that fills the entire world through his song and through the creative power of the Word and he thus becomes a divine creator, a mage of Light. To sing can conduct to receiving the sacred fire of love.

The first book written by the hand of Olivier Martin, "The Alchemist's Awakening - The Spiritual Alchemy of the Age of Aquarius," published in 1989, introduces us into the school of divine life of Agartha, of Shamballa and of the great brotherhood of the stars, revealing to us the foundations of the greatest secrets of the alchemy of the age of Aquarius. This knowledge is the summit of all evolution, the one that conducts to fullness and to the mastery of life. Olivier brings there the fruits and results of all his years of research, the most profound mysteries of the initiatory science that have guided the great initiates of the planet: it is a royal path, Aquarius offering the water of spiritual life and enabling to be reborn to inner life.

"At the age of twenty-five years old, I began to write books and to teach another way of being in the world under the inspiration of my Angel, who has formed me and guides me since then."

In 1990, Olivier becomes bishop through apostolic succession in the Church of Antioch. This title will prove to be of great importance during the creation of the Christian Essene Church in 2012.

Seeking since his youngest age to find his roots again, his identity, his tradition, his source of existence, Olivier Martin has activated what was living inside him by working to gather the scattered pieces of a puzzle, and this, at the price of great trials.
