Working with the light and with the sun there are material Foods just as they are spiritual Foods in the same way that you eat bread and drink water each day to nourish your physical body we should nourish our spiritual bodies with the sun its life its warmth its light this
Is one reason why Master omra Mikel ivanhoff suggested that we should watch the sunrise each and every single day as if we were seeing it for the first time but enough said for now I am pleased to welcome anat who will be speaking on this fascinating subject born in
Switzerland anatol has lived in several countries including England Mexico and the United States of America originally a farmer has many interests one of which is you guessed it the yoga of the sun he has traveled widely and this Fascination for other cultures is reflected in his talk it’s going to be an information
Packed episode as anatol will cover many topics today including the importance of visible light why spiritual light or unseen light is so important exploring the many solar and light symbolisms across different cultures and religions exploring why Master om’s teaching play Such importance on the sun and finally an will share three simple exercises
Throughout his talk over to you an it’s thank you NAA for this introduction let’s hope I will live up to your expectations so let’s go right to the million dooll question what can sum up om Mikel ivanov’s teaching in one word you guess it light and in one sentence becoming like a
Son indeed the teaching is about knowledge methods practices and above all encouragement to become like Sons where the sun ignites our quest for intelligence where the sun deepens our appreciation of love and generosity where the sun stands as a paragon of perfection as a model before us a model
Of wisdom represented by its light a model of love and kindness represented by its warmth and a model of a strong will for Good Deeds represented by by the life it’s bestowed by the sun if we want to use the Sun as a model then we should start to talk about the
Fascinating reality of light let’s shed some light on light it is a journey through history and that history has had an impact on our world today that is nothing short of miraculous originally as a farmer I learned early on of the importance of light think about it photosynthesis the foundation of
Practically all life on Earth is essentially the sun doing its magic and it’s happening under our feet above our heads and all around us even in rivers lakes and the oceans photos synthesis is the transformation of sunlight into chemical energy which is then generally stored as sugars even after its Discovery some 300
Years ago a portion of the photosynthesis processing chlorophyll continues to elude contemporary science I’m highlighting this to emphasize that despite the incredible leaps forward modern science still grapples with understanding some of life’s and lights most fundamental aspects photosynthesis the process by which light is turned into our daily bread
Is amazing in fact what we call the material world is nothing but light interacting with our senses with our eyes and brain light is all we see isn’t isn’t it amazing that light is all we see we think we see solid objects but we’re not you think you’re looking at trees flowers
Roses and the lovely face of your beloved no all I see is light that bounced off your gorgeous face or light emitted by the Sun or Suns or the light bulb I quote from a poem let there always be light by Rebecca Elson a most original astronomer and poet born in the
Same year I was born her vocation was Finding and making connections in the universe unfortunately she passed away at the age of 39 for this we go out Dark Knights searching for the deest stars for signs of unseen things whatever they turn out to be let there be swarms of them enough for
Immortality always a star where we can warm ourselves let there be even enough to bring it back from its own edges to bring us all so close that we ignite the bright spark of resurrection end quote indeed we strive to capture the light from the faintest most distant
Stars yet even here on Earth our search for light happens amidst the Unseen our eyes wonders of evolutionary creation evolutionary creation or the great term I just made it up they were formed with the influence of the Sun and for good reason they are most sensitive to the yellow part of the
Electromagnetic wave spectrum but wait wave isn’t light made of photons or particles of light Newton believed light was made of matter particles of matter T argued it was a wave a century later young showed it was a wave through his famous double slit experiment only for Einstein to come
Along yes this Einstein to come along and show that show that it was not matter but a little Quant of energy later called a photon as well as a wave isn’t it fascinating that light both acts as a wave and as a tiny packet of energy and just as intriguingly light
Behaves differently when you’re looking at it then when it’s not observed from mastering fire a million plus years ago to the Stone Age oil lamp 50,000 15,000 years ago to Edison’s light bulb in the late 19th century light has been key to human progress more Nobel prizes in fact have
Celebrated light related sell discoveries than any other topic the first American Nobel Prize was awarded to mikkelson for measuring lights speed accurately interestingly Einstein’s Nobel price celebrated his work on lights photo electric effect mentioned a moment ago and not on eal mc² his special relativity equation his Discovery or discoveries led the
Groundwork to the later invention or discovery of the laser in 1960 a major 20th century scientific achievement lasers are intense precise powerful light beams omra Mikel Ivanov was fascinated by lasers from a spiritual perspective but that’s a topic for another episode perhaps indeed the groundwork for the
Laser earned them a Nobel Prize in 1964 and by the way just last year 2023 light research clenched another Nobel Prize understanding light from a physical standpoint is crucial to nearly all modern Technologies from compactors to computers from smartphones to solar panels from GPS to genome sequencing in medicine light is
Fundamental to laser surgery current research is looking at light as a potential Alzheimer’s cure light is crucial for regulating sleep treating depression preventing suicide and shaping human interactions let’s summarize this brief overview of the physical importance of light no sun No Light No Light No life what about spiritual light or the
Unseen light light’s most precious qualities shine in the spiritual realm Right light is a profound universal symbol of goodness and Divinity it embodies the Triumph of good over evil it symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening as such light embodies a universal Force fostering a sense of collectiveness unity and Brotherhood across different spiritual
Paths light reminds us of our Collective human quest for meaning and for truth attainable not through ordinary means but wire spiritual practice Inner Awakening and sometimes divine grace I quote omam Mikel Ivanov by Leading you to the sun I’m leading you to the Christ the
Spirit of the son who said of himself I am the light of the world the light that lights up the world is that of the Sun but it is important to understand that above and beyond the visible light of the physical Sun there is another light which is the True Light of the
Sun the Bulgarian the Bulgarian world for this light is vidalina from a root which means to see I have already talked about viina the invisible Inner Light which we distinguished from swetlin which is derived from a root meaning to shine it is swetlin that enables us to
See physical objects but it cannot make the invisible realities of the psychic World visible to us for this we need Vina and to obtain Vina we must establish a close bond with the Sun for even though it is in visible vidalina also comes from the sun vidalina is subtler and richer than
Visible light and it takes years and years of work meditation prayer and contemplation of the sun to possess even the most minute quantities but once we possess it enables us to see the invisible world world and all is inhabitants end quote for omam unseen light is Central
To his teaching visible light or Spina as we’ve seen is essential for our existence and everything around us light in the form of tiny energy packets is the foundation of matter in its most dep delicate subtle form what we call matter in fact is essentially highly condensed concentrated
Light but it is the Unseen light vidalina that underpins in fact all creation and with simple exercises which we will explore shortly we might gradually be able to perceive this unseen light and illuminate our inner selves extended outward and even start to see the Unseen or spiritual
World yet many question the existence of this unseen light I remind them that many groundbreaking ideas were proposed well before science embraced them the shift from a geocentric worldview where the Earth is the center of the universe to a heliocentric worldview where the sun is the center of the solar system is
A prime example it took 1,800 years from aristatus of Samos passing through through Arata in India on until the idea that the Earth orbits the Sun was again revived by cernus in the 16th century but even then this game-changing idea faced resistance from the Roman Catholic church and it was not until Galileo
Galile and Kepler again worked on it that the heliocentric model become became to be widely accepted decades after Copernicus Millennia Millennia after aristatus whose adversary of thoughts was toy with his geocentric or arguably egocentric egoistical worldview this new heliocentric worldview completely reshaped our understanding of the world and our place within the entire
Cosmos its impact was profound and profoundly altered the course of human thought and progress and history even today modern science has much ground to cover in catching up we readily believe that water is composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom to form H2O and then we build on
Such knowledge to propel human Innovation to new heights why not listen to those who’ve explored inner realities and seen the UN seen light it’s even attainable for anyone ready to invest modest effort and engage in relatively simple practices practices that help me tackle life’s challenges resolve inner conflicts
Confront my demons and slightly improve my generally bad behavior Al I hope hope to believe as a scientist I have no difficulty embracing certain Concepts not yet accepted by modern science why because such beliefs open our senses to the inspiration of other realities consider for example light the light light is a
Form of radiation of the electromagnetic spectrum only a tiny fraction of that spectrum is visible we don’t see radio waves no microwaves but at times we perceive infrared light as heat visible light we see but we don’t see ultraviolet light x-rays nor the smallest of them all gamma rays for centuries science remained
Unaware of electromagn IC waves beyond the physical for a lack of tools for detection and measurement what we can’t see or measure doesn’t exist so-called modern science still asserts today it is such a narrow stance failing to heat the lessons from the history they themselves have written who knows what else science cannot
See yet for now the Unseen light falls into that category conventional knowledge has its place and served me well during my career modern science often overlooks or Worse outright dismisses spiritual dimensions the great initiates and masters of humanity with their spiritual signs or initiatic signs tell us about their
Findings Rudolph Steiner in G 291 said something to the effect seen from within light transforms into thought and seen from without thought shines as light Wen intriging concept to contemplate very much like our food essentially transformed sunlight our thoughts can be seen as transformed viina let’s do a brief exercise starting
With visible light and extending it later to the Unseen light for just a moment Focus your faults on visible light as if your life depended on it imagine this light as white sunlight includes all the colors of the spectrum red or the spirit of Life orange or the
Spirit of sanctity dignity and health golden yellow or the spirit of wisdom Prudence green or the spirits of Eternity Evolution hope and wealth blue or the spirit of Truth and peace Indigo or the spirit of strength the spirit of royalty and finally violet or purple or the spirit of
Sacrifice and spiritual love and omnipotence we delve into we will delve into colors and how to use them for Spiritual work in another episode perhaps for now I’ll display an image of pure white light for just one minute during this minute I invite you to close your eyes and concentrate Solly on light
But not if you’re driving picture yourself as clear and Crystal and allow light to fully permeate your entire being for e whatever you seek you must become yourself please share below how you feel after this exercise now and more importantly after practicing this exercise several times
Daily for at least a week I’m truly eager to hear about your experience with it later in this episode we’ll delve into more exercises involving light hi I hope that you are enjoying this fascinating talk about the sun we are going to take a brief break make

Africa and Asia North and South America and even oceanana and how they experience om’s teaching in everyday life back to you ANL I cannot wait to hear the rest of your talk and thank you for joining us I am your host naika and I will see you in two weeks thank you
NAA the practices of the teaching facilitate personal transformation and thus contribute to the Improvement of the world in which we live I quote omam Mikel Ivanov again your ability to focus on lightful objects will save you from all situations even when you leave this life because this ability persists even after
Your death for it does not come from the brain it is only reflected in it it is the spirit that possesses it there is no work more worthy more glorious more powerful than working with light from now on whether you are here Al together or alone at home or elsewhere
Think of connecting to the source of all blessings the light and that is all end quote for omam Spiritual nourishment parallels nutrition just as we consume bread and drink water daily to sustain our physical bodies body we ought to also emide embi the sun its warmth its light
Is life to feed our spiritual bodies our spiritual Essence doing so amam suggests we will truly come to life let’s now delve into the significance of the Sun and of light across history it’s a topic I find fascinating in the ancient Indus Valley a civilization at late the foundation of
Hinduism over 5,000 years ago the Sun God sua was worshiped to this day sua is a principal deity in Hinduism embodying the son’s lifegiving power often depicted riding riding a chariot drawn by seven horses that symbolize the seven colors of the light spectrum suria is viewed as the
Creator the source of all life and the eye of the universe one enduring celebration is diali the Festival of Lights which commemorates the Triumph of light over darkness in ancient Egypt the S god Ra held immense significance revered as the creator of life also linked to Ram was
Horus those who followed the path of the spiritual son as his followers were called later during the New Kingdom era aratan sparked a revolutionary shift he not only established a monotheistic worship center around aten the Sun God but also elevated aten to the Supreme and sole creator of
Life at 10 was symbolized by the sun disk portraying the sun’s Life Giving energy with Rays extending downward each Ray offering a blessing in Judaism light holds profound significance intimately linked to the menora an ancient symbol of the Jewish faith it symbolized es God’s presence in the temple commemorates The Exodus from
Egypt and even today Huka is a celebration of the Triumph of light over darkness and the Miracle of the oil in the temple ler in the Zohar the Cornerstone of Jewish mysticism or cabala light serves as a metaphor for the divine presence and for wisdom during the Indo Iranian period in Asian
Persia Mitra or held significance in Zoroastrianism associated with contracts Oaths and agreements as well as light and the Sun but the central deity for zaratustra was Aura Mazda the wise Lord symbolizing the ultimate deity and Creator and source of light he perceived a cosmic principle in the Sun a being later called
Christ in Buddhism light symbolizes wisdom and Enlightenment with meditation practices frequently focusing on inner light to achieve spiritual insight and to be guided toward the path of U Nirvana Sid gaam the historical Buddha is often depicted with a radiant Aura symbolizing his state of Enlightenment in ancient Greece up to the helenistic
Period Helios the Sun God was revered as the as he traversed the sky in a chariot drawn with four horses during the Roman Kingdom Republic and Empire worship of the sun gods and the symbolism of light held significant sway reflecting religious beliefs and also political power Saul indes the
Indigenous son essentially referred to Helios of Greek mythology and later Saul Invictus the unconquered son where both important symbols for the Romans although there evidence that religions were practice in China since Neolithic times taism is unique among major world religions it doesn’t have the concept of gods but promotes
Humility pacifism and living in harmony with nature and with each other and taism also has the sun it teaches that two forces yin and yang together produce everything in the universe the moon expresses the cool dark feminine force of Ying whereas the sun expresses the hot bright masculine force of
Yang the two principles together produce Harmony and order in the entire universe and wealth and peace in a nation before we continue with Christianity Islam Shintoism and many many more let’s break with another brief exercise we will try to harmonize our breath with our thoughts and I quote omam again you
Inhale thinking that you’re drawing in the light and you exhale thinking that you’re projecting it onto yourself onto your organs onto all your cells then you inhale again and exhale very quickly you will be able to see how this exercise acts beneficially on you you will feel relaxed and in peace end
Quote for one minute let’s inhale let’s inhale thinking of drawing in light and exhale thinking of projecting light e again please share in the comments below your experience es with this exercise in future episodes perhaps we will expand on these exercises to include the world and the universe and
Humanity but back to solar symbolism in Christianity Jesus Christ himself is often described as the light of the world the Bible uses light as a metaphor for Spiritual revelation and sanctity I quote the Gospel of John 1 14-5 describing Jesus Christ as the source of light and of
Life in him was life and the life was the light of men the light shines in the darkness and the Darkness has not overcome it and quote the sun is no longer deity in christianism but a powerful symbol of Jesus Christ himself the sun in Christianity symbolizes the presence of Jesus
Christ I am the light of the world whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life that was John 8 12 I think in Islam light on nor is closely linked with Divine guidance and the Quran which is also referred to as the light interestingly it symbolizes
Guidance Purity divine presence and understanding in fact the concept of nor is used to describe the light of Allah nor is also associated with the prophets including Jesus and and Muhammad as the bearers of Divine Light and kindness Sufism Islam’s mystical Branch emphasizes the spiritual importance of
Light light takes a fundamental place in Sikhism in Japan amateras the S goddess plays a central role in Shintoism Japan’s indigenous faith in Africa tribal settings examples are bound for the sun people of Bushman of southern Africa the sun is Central as the powerful lifegiving force for the Yuba people in West Africa
Their Supreme deity allor or lurun is associated with the sky and the Sun for the G people in Mali slightly to the EST Advanced astronomist had detailed knowledge of the cycles of the sun Central in their ritual ceremonies and agriculture many others emphasize in a light from A to Z
Anthroposophy bahay Faith neopaganism Pentecostalism M quakerism Rosicrucianism theosophy via and of course Zen Buddhism even no’s mythology features Saul the sun goddess having lived in Mexico it would be inexcusable negligence not to mention thec they have tonu the son God most significantly we see lle the god of the
Sun and founder of tenos shitan modern day Mexico City held a central role in aslec ritual rituals and cosmology far to the South the Incas believed their royal families were direct descendants from the Sun and finally the diverse Native American tribes who lived on that land
For eons for them the sun has been significant as Earth’s guardian and as a primary deity in their spiritual rituals ceremonies involving fire invoke the symbolic properties of light Native American cultures are renowned for profound and diverse Traditions highlighting just three for the Hopi the sun is the window of TAA the almighty
Creator the Lota performed the Sundowns expressing their spiritual connection with the sun having lived on sacred land of kayuga lake near itha I can’t Overlook the significance of skyw woman in their cosmology of the eroa intricately linked to the sun and the creation story that led to the hoden noodi the
Union of indigenous people including the mwk Ona onandaga Sena and kayuga I hope I have shown how the Sun and light have always been symbols of life and of divinity touching nearly every culture belief and era indeed the sun has been revered as the visible and as the Unseen in a
Light in the sun’s glow and Radiance Humanity found guidance wisdom and inspiration this near Universal devotion speaks to a shared Human Experience that’s precisely how the sunti different beliefs into a singular Testament of the Epic human story and as we saw uh earlier or heard earlier in this episode for om Mikel
Ianov it is no different nor should it be for him the Sun and light W just Concepts they were the essence of the practices he taught indeed the Sun and light are the heart and soul of his teaching the path and the goal but here’s where Ram’s views take a slight
Turn from The Narrative I outlined a moment ago with the sun being daes gods and Central figures omam invites us to internalize the meaning of the Sun and embody its qualities for this he provided us with a Priceless array of tools methods and practices and leading by example to inspire
Emulation within each of us already Burns a nent spark of the Sun a little flame of viina the Unseen light this isn’t mere poetry if we nourish that inner spark through exercises and the way we live well let’s use a metaphor Rebecca elsen went out at night
To search for unseen things in the universe but if we go out at sunrise in search for signs of unseen things unseen things in the spiritual World it will bring us so close that we ignite the spark of Resurrection much like Rebecca alen’s groundbreaking work in astrophysics connecting us with distance Stars this
Inner Light will guide us to connect with and embrace the essence of humanity it will manifest itself through the expansion of our Consciousness setting the foundation for a true understanding of Brotherhood within and without to conclude because the Sun and light have been the most ubiquitous symbols in practically
All cultures and religions the sun is the very symbol that unites us all the sun transcends artificial human divisions Geographic Frontiers cultural boundaries and religious beliefs on understanding this simple truth will ignite a Monumental shift propelling us into an unparalleled Golden Age a new era of Enlightenment today the Sun and light
Are just seen as opportunities for profit through technology and as subjects of casual historical curiosity but this shouldn’t be the sun is the future in technology culture spirituality and even religion so much so that omik ianov spoke of the Advent of a new solar and Universal religion the only genuinely Universal
Religion must be solar for for the language of the sun is the only enduring universal language understood by all with its light warmth and life Distributing these gifts impartially to all human beings like a trinity light warmth and life intellect heart and will thinking feeling and doing
Embracing the sun both as a model of perfection out there and working on an inner embodiment of its qualities this concept signals a transformation that will have far greater impact than the shift from geocentricity to heliocentricity most importantly this new worldview suggests that all peoples cultures religions will continue to practice their
Faith but will now be enriched by a unifying light most importantly this new worldview suggests that all people’s cultures and religions will continue to practice their faith but will now be enriched by a unifying light a light that has always surrounded us unseen until now this inside is strikingly simple yet profoundly
Impactful we all brothers and sisters United under the same divine known by many names what a powerful unifying and revolutionary idea it foree and leave him come and For intelligence intelligence it comes solay Energym am [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] All [Applause] All [Applause] He Soon soon belong To
