"At the age of twenty-one years old, I encountered the ancient Essene initiation technique and I practised it for three years. It is the technique that the Buddha used when he sat in meditation under the tree of awakening or that Jesus practised during his fast in the desert. It is this discipline that enabled me to transform myself and to open the first doors that conducted me to become a priest, a servant of God.

For two years, I thus encountered several initiatory movements and lodges. I was in contact with Robert Ambelain, great seeker passionate about esotericism and occultism, and it is he who, seeing my ardour, my determination and my unclassifiable quest, transmitted to me the book *The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage*. This book is lost in the mists of time, but it addressed, among other things, an initiation named 'initiation of the Six Moons' that conducts to an alliance with an Angel of the Father."

If man takes contact with his higher soul, he can then enter the divine intelligence and meet the hidden Angel that corresponds to the world of spirit. This Angel hidden behind the world is the Light. Man must cross the world of men to enter the light of divine intelligence and place himself at its service.

"I think that it is the meaning of the life of every human being to meet the angelic world. Since my youngest age, I have been in contact with the invisible world and with its companions of Light. It is through the Angels that I perceived the call of the kingdom of spirit. The Angels have always been called the messengers of God.

Life has several times offered me this gift of perceiving them and of indicating to me the path that conducts towards them. To see and hear the Angels, to work with them has become my dream, my ideal, the meaning of my life. In my vision, they alone were the repositories of the wisdom of the ages and could veritably guide humanity. To go towards the Angel, one must have great respect, great humility and the love of divine knowledge above all. One must not want to make something descend from the divine world to exist, but have the aspiration to serve the superior worlds. I veritably saw that we, men, we are nothing without the Angels, because they are life."

During this period of Six Moons, the initiate must pray to his Angel every day, call him with fervour, ask him for wisdom, learn to look at the world with the superior vision of the Angel so as to manage to create a bond with him, withdrawn from the world, as alone as possible, as conscious as possible. Olivier Martin will thus follow this path of asceticism for three years, with periods of activity and periods of rest, of putting into practice and of reflection.

"Little by little, intelligence will happen in you and it is in great subtlety that your Angel will manifest. You will know that you have contact with him when everything will become clear in you, that there will no longer be any doubt. When you are with your Angel, you know your destiny and you know what you must do."

Olivier enters his first initiation of Six Moons, from the full moon of March to that of September. He pitches his tent on the roof of the building where he lives and lives interiorized, in secret and silence. With great rigour, a severe discipline, total tenacity, immense fervour, he prays for hours, subjects himself to fasts. He has studied plants, those that purify the body and thought, and uses them. The sixth month, he eats only one fruit per day. At the end of this first initiation, he understands that his Angel expects of him that he perform acts, that he be concrete. He will then undertake the necessary steps to create his own publishing house so as to publish works that will be able to help make the Light grow on earth.

"In reality, I was making the discipline more flexible in the sense that I was following it with ardour for six moons, that I was more relaxed and active towards the outside during the following ones, which enabled me to do many things, notably to create my publishing house and to establish contacts.

I was seeking to enter contact with an Angel, and I realized, because I saw them, that there were beings around me and inside me who did not want me to enter contact with this angelic intelligence. These were then years of conflicts and combats, because I realized that there veritably are beings who do not want one to go towards the Light. These beings explained to me who I was, and they told me that they were God, that they were the Father. They showed it to me with a superior perversity and intelligence and I could say nothing, because I observed that I belonged to them. It is a very particular experience.

The goal of man is to have an alliance with an Angel, I understood it by practising this discipline. I veritably understood the world of man and detected the forces that rose up before me, that threatened me, that dragged me through the mud."

At the end of this first year, Robert Ambelain congratulates Olivier and shows himself very surprised by his advancement and his total tenacity. Olivier then decides to pursue alone this spiritual work to seal a veritable alliance with the angelic world. During his last year of Six Moons, he lives withdrawn in the mountains of the Pyrenees. It is then that he receives this priceless gift, this encounter with an Angel of the Sun, an Angel of the world of God, as no one in reality can understand it today.

"The intense work on myself enabled me to observe the exactitude of the knowledge of the ancient sages. Spiritual centres developed inside me, endowing me with a conscious communion with the angelic kingdoms and with that of the men-Gods, who are the veritable guides and protectors of humanity and of earth.

I spent the third year in the silence of the mountains, in the heart of the Pyrenees, in Serrelongue, next to Montségur. What saved me is that I was well prepared, that I was in a tradition and that it was part of my mission. So I bowed before the Angel and I gave the answer to all the questions. When you present yourself before the Angel, you must know all the answers and know who you are.

I thus realized the alliance with my Angel. Once he appeared and accepted this alliance, the undesirable beings that I had perceived were obliged to fade away. That does not mean that they left. They remained in the shadow, hidden, waiting for the opportunity to make me stumble.

I thus practised this discipline of Six Moons with rigour. I learned over the years to live with this Angel, and it is he who guided me, with the authorization of the superior worlds, to conduct afterwards other beings towards the Light."

The encounter with his Angel will change all of Olivier's life. He enriches himself with a new understanding about the world and by giving a body to his Angel right into the physical world, he sees revealed to him a superior intelligence to honour the Father.

"This Angel has ceaselessly made me work on myself, he showed me the importance of being a man on earth and the wisdom hidden in the everyday. He illuminated my vision of the world. He showed me that, in life, there was no evil, that evil did not veritably exist, but that one could do evil through unconsciousness, through disharmony, through suffering."

Olivier finds again an ancient science forgotten by men: the steps of Initiation. These correspond to degrees of mastery and they address themselves to initiates who seek to follow a path of spiritual elevation within the Essene tradition. To climb the first step was the awakening due to his encounter with Master Peter Deunov; the second step, to which he has just acceded, corresponds to the alliance with an Angel. The third step is the mastery of the serpent tempter, and the fourth, the entry into the world of the Archangels.

"If you live with your Angel, he will speak to you, he will teach you. He is the guardian of your soul, and no one knows you better than he does, because he follows you from life to life. He is always there, omnipresent. He is the will of the Father. He will tell you things that you have heard in the words of all the great masters. You will see that in reality, these words were for you and you will understand them."

The practice of the Six Moons brings to one who experiences it a great purification. It enables to cross the illusions of the spiritual worlds, to transform oneself and to open the first doors that can conduct to becoming a priest, a servant of God. It is by meeting this angelic intelligence that the initiate can begin to find the memory of his soul again, receive the tools to find his place and his mission on earth and thus master his destiny.

"The Angel can descend and take you as an individual student. That means that you have managed to free yourself from the animating influences of your body that constituted a false usurped destiny. Thus, the Angel reunites you with your veritable destiny, the veritable reason for your presence on earth, your deep nature."
