Artists create works that are outside of themselves using external materials. They concentrate their efforts on these external materials and create wonders. But I will say that, for me, true artists are those who are able to take themselves, first and foremost, as the material of their creation. All methods of spiritual life are available to them to help and inspire them in this work. In the Psychic world, we can be musicians, poets, architects, sculptors, etc. The works of the students of Initiatic Science include all the arts. What a discovery it was for me, the day I understood that I could work on the material that is not unknown to me, my own material, the one given to me by Heaven and which belongs to me. That is why I do nothing but write my own book, that is, myself! I have done nothing but write the book that I am. You will say: "But then, the books we read?" I do not write them. I have assigned this task to certain people. My duty is only to write my own book, and when I speak to you I do so with full awareness that I am writing at the same time. Yes, when I speak to you I try to inscribe heavenly writings in your souls.

... And each one of you is also a book, a book that you write yourselves: your thoughts, your feelings outline the characters of a writing that will be engraved on the material of your subtle bodies. So, from now on, your work is to become a living book. By dedicating yourself to this work, you will have a beneficial effect on all those you come into contact with. This is also Brotherhood love.
