Introduction
It is essential to grasp that immutability is characterized by an absence of action and reaction. Divine energy has no place in action, which belongs exclusively to the human realm. To introduce a chapter devoted to immutability, we must adopt a mindset, or a logical awareness, in order to appreciate it at its true worth, since the Immutable reveals neither secret, nor knowledge, nor learning.
The immutable is characterized by the intensity of its colors and manifests through its vibrations. We speak of immutability as the Creator who neither acts nor reacts, which translates into the notions of “non-action” and “non-reaction.” It is clear that this perspective on the principle rests on moments of deep reflection.
Immutability, when confronted with contexts that are difficult for us to interpret, cannot be grasped through matter.
Let us therefore try to accept the term immutability as the relation of “non-action” and “non-reaction,” although we may run into a first stumbling block, namely that the immutable can produce vibrations.
Universe
In order for an immutability, characterized by “non-action” and “non-reaction,” to give rise to a universe, a flaw had to appear.
It should be noted that the universe emerged from a rupture of immutability, which we call the Big Bang. Although this proposition may spark controversy, it is quite likely to be revised over time.
Science, through mathematics, makes precise calculations possible. The theory of parallel worlds is one such concept. According to these calculations, two universes meet so as to allow a transfer from one to the other. You will have the opportunity to discover how this was understood in the past, in the chapter devoted to the theory of kalpas.
Shall we go looking for a mathematical formula that would guarantee immutability? In fact, we already have a glimpse of one through the formula P = E∞.
It is important to note that gaps in immutability could give rise to particularly significant results, ones through which we might progress.
Paragraph 3
Human Being
In the human being, a resident of the universe, the “impalpable matter” manifests itself. By impalpable matter, we mean the absolute soul, referred to as the “inner cosmos.” This soul forms a bond with the Immutable, through a structure that is relatively easy to grasp for those who possess the necessary capacities to reach this conclusion, namely auditory or visual contemplation.
The means the human being uses to reach immutability determines his strength or his weakness.
If “non-action” and “non-reaction” are taken as synonyms of purity, then all that remains for the human being to do is purify himself in order to draw closer to the Immutable, through, of course, Shabda and Téjas.
We now maintain that there are two kinds of souls: an individual soul proper to the human being, and another, of an absolute order, though without making this a categorical assertion.
Paragraph 4
TRINITY
In leaving its solitude, the Immutable founded the universe, let us say on the grounds of a weakness... Obviously we must understand this as an account offered for now. Who could ever settle where the universe came from, though we are drawing closer to it.
Paragraph 5
From the divine seed emerged the ancestor, who quickly split into two parts. Such is the truth that has been carried down through many millennia, the message of the Trinity. One Person dividing into three persons.
The Trinity would, however, mark a first tangent into impurities. This would be called incarnation.
Incarnation would thus be a first derivation of immutability.
Paragraph 6
INTERRELATION
I have crossed interrelation. I have reached the Immutable. I am immortal.
Here are a few phrases that should be on the lips of every being. Notice, however, that these phrases have little chance of being spoken, since the being who attains immortality will have set his ego at rest.
Interrelation as the possibility available to the human being of crossing duality and reaching the Immutable.
Paragraph 7
Rising above an interrelation, the human being places himself within that sphere of his realization through the use of Shabda and Téjas.
The faster he crosses the stage of interrelation, the sooner he discovers the Immutable within himself.
On the surface, we will understand interrelation as the state of relation with our creator.
The teaching that follows encircles it rather as a stage preceding divine exploration.
Paragraph 8
Interrelation, like an alarm clock, rings at the door of the slumbering being to announce the day to him. As soon as this action is triggered, its usefulness becomes relegated to a matter of lesser importance.
Before all these chains that weaken human potential stands interrelation, the one that leads to immutability.
So cross interrelation in order to join immutability. This is a logic to be understood.
Paragraph 9
JOINING
There is no other goal for the human being of greater importance than joining the Divine. This order, which surfaces immediately after interrelation, marks the beginning of a life of fullness and riches that nothing can bruise.
Obviously this capacity cannot be grasped by the human brain. “That,” which we also call God, is understood by whoever enters the inner movement, through the intervention of union. Methods of contemplation purify consciousness, thereby allowing glimpses of the vibrations and lights of the immutable.
Paragraph 10
The union of these methods with the soul grants the conscious being states of splendor bearing names as simple as bliss, consecration, and nirvana.
Divine union and the state of immutability form a whole. These states dwell side by side within the human being, the pillar of contemplation.
Paragraph 11
TEACHING
Teaching bequeaths a heritage. The past is also preserved through the strength of teaching.
Teaching embodies the memory of the Immutable.
No Creator could have conceived all these doctrines, since immutability prevails. Teaching is therefore founded on human beings.
Paragraph 12
Among all teachings, we must choose those bearing on learning that can lead to knowledge. In other words, on the theory “learning” leading to the practice “knowledge.” But let us be careful, for knowledge is only granted with the support of initiation, which infuses itself into the Trinity. Initiation thus remains the turning point between God and us. After the incorporeal start, or the end of interrelation, teachings fade away. For the ultimate goal is union.
Those who persist in reading remain under the sway of interrelation.
Note that it is preferable to begin with knowledge and then enrich it with learning.
Paragraph 13
RELIGION
If we refer to the practical meaning of the word “religion,” we always find within it a value of union with the Creator. The exploitation set in motion since year zero would have made a mockery of that value, risking a parallel between good and evil. Within this principle of non-action and non-reaction, it would be pointless to argue over religion. So did we create the religions?
Through masters — to name only a few, Buddha, Krishna, Hanuman, Brahma, Skanda, Shiva, Ganesha, Jesus Christ, and John the Baptist — the message of the religions has been sent out into the world. To each of these divinities, the relation of immutability applies. To reach this union that we call “religion,” they had to give up their dependence on matter.
Paragraph 14
To grasp the secret of religion, one must truly perceive it as union with the Divine; otherwise we would rather set the subject aside, since the exploitation of faith still seems to be well within the realm of possibility.
Religions are the act of a knowing human being. Since they rest on karma, or action, which by its very nature is the opposite of immutability.
Paragraph 15
LOVE
Let us note love as a unique feeling that can only be shared with a single person.
This way of thinking always wears its gold medallion. Can we divide love into two parts?
Certainly the devotee will place his love in the Divine while extending feelings of affection, tenderness, destiny, and friendship toward those close to him.
Love, a unique feeling that can only be directed one way, that of immutability. Then a dilemma arises. Can the Immutable receive our love?
Paragraph 16
Referring back to the cause of “non-action” and “non-reaction” brought about by immutability, the answer would then be no. The Immutable cannot receive our love.
As a response to our love, It stirs within us, granting us shivers, delights, and phosphorescences.
We nonetheless speak of a unique feeling, hence a one-way journey with no return.
For this reason, the logical thought of a unique feeling carries itself; a unique feeling directed toward the divine. We cannot swear that a God has no need of us, since otherwise He would not have created us. Nor can we say that He needs us, since He is immutable.
Paragraph 17
What then are we to make of a God who feels no action and no reaction to our
love for Him?
We must answer that this should not stop our feeling toward Him. Let us simply remember that a unique feeling has but one direction, which you understand as the absolute soul. Human beings then exchange feelings of affection, tenderness, and friendship among themselves. The divine shows us its love through its vibrations and lights.
Paragraph 18
ACTION
Action is sustained by our thoughts. Before immutability, movements remain without tenants. Actions of good or evil are interpreted by the human being, and logically the human being bears the consequences, jointly.
Action stands opposed to immutability.
Paragraph 19
Action was placed within an unstable environment, or if you prefer, a shifting core, that is, the human being.
Action, “karma,” the condition that allows humans to evolve or regress, whether through good or evil, displaying its results on earth.
That is the place where opposites attract one another, immutability and karma.
Paragraph 20
INCARNATION
The human being, endowed with sexuality, is afflicted by a purely physical death that calls for reflection. Incarnation stands as the link between the soul and the frailty of bodies.
It is in order to draw closer to, to benefit from, and to delight in the Immutable that incarnation takes its shape and its integrity.
Paragraph 21
EGO and DESIRE
Ego
The Creator has no ego, and therefore cannot know desire. In choosing the human being as its dwelling place, the Divine found itself confronted with its own weaknesses, committing itself in the process.
The ego of the human being dwelling within Immutability is no longer an obstacle, for it has learned to purify itself, for whoever so wills it.
The fact of an ego that does not recognize itself in the Immutable opens up other paths. Alternatives always attended by the ephemeral. For an evolution to occur throughout a universe, there must be an ego, since there is a food chain.
P.S. Will we know how to preserve it?
The risk is that the ego takes up all the space, thereby destroying the food chain. Day by day, the ego must be understood or filtered in order to be able to stand up to immutability.
Paragraph 22
Desire
Desire takes a great deal of time to carry its dreams forward. These periods, let us say of impurities wearing a human appearance, remain persistent for whoever lacks the filter. Immutability then seems an impossibility.
For whoever neutralizes his thoughts of desire, immutability offers its vibrations and its colors, “Shabda” and “Téjas,” as rewards.
Paragraph 23
MATERIAL DENSITY
The consumption of materials and the workings of polluting systems lead to a weakening of nature. Beyond these scourges, some human beings seek to enter into relation with their Creator.
Material density weakens the will to find.
Paragraph 24
Material density can turn into success when it is devoted to divine service or to carefully considered actions. In the torpor of materialism colliding with the problem of the ego, those who amass matter without regard for God curtail their chances of living in union with the Immutable.
A greater wisdom is then needed to cross the boundary of the ego. The condition is plain: we must purify our ego.
Paragraph 25
EXPERIENCE
We are all bearers of the divine experience. The ego and the personality, through their clichés, give rise to several ways of living it or of doing away with it.
Divine reality is defined within immutability. So, in order to live, we need the divine experience, since our Creator remains “without action” and “without reaction.” This experience cannot be reached within the human brain, although many make it their pet battle. Unfortunately, they are doomed to failure and to the mental image.
Paragraph 26
To live with the Immutable, with the presence of its immutability, one needs the cosmic experience, expressed through meditation in those already established forms of word repetition, breath control, and auditory and visual contemplation with which you are confronted in this work.
Spiritual success is proportional to spiritual experience.
Adopt “Shabda” and “Téjas.”
Paragraph 27
GOOD AND EVIL
It would be pointless for us to look for a parallel between good, evil, and immutability. Pointless for us to try to imagine the Creator situated within the structures of good and evil, and difficult for us to discuss good and evil without risking running into the context of morality and action.
Immutability, good, and evil are antagonistic.
Paragraph 28
OMNIPRESENCE
Has it ever happened, by chance, that we joined “non-action” and “non-reaction” to presence in every place? “Immutability” versus “Omnipresence.” As with me, you will readily see there is a difficulty here. How can an immutability be omnipresent?
How can a “non-action” and “non-reaction” be present in every place?
Paragraph 29
In order to allow an answer to this question, we must go beyond logic, let us say rather beyond the moral context, to gain access to the world of inner vision. God carries an immutability through the soul, and He conveys an omnipresence through matter.
Understanding the Formulation as a source arising from a flaw in purity touches upon a sound evolution in our search.
Omnipresence is the flaw in immutability.
Paragraph 30
CONTEMPLATION
Through contemplation, everything holds together. Contemplation grants human beings the means to expand their enclosure in the direction of the Immutable.
Contemplation is one of the three means taught for feeling the immutable. In this race toward realization, which we undertake at a reduced walking pace, immutability and contemplation come into direct contact with one another.
To make us complete beings, united with the immutable through auditory and visual contemplation, “Shabda” and “Téjas,” in order to reach divine delight — there lies wisdom.
Paragraph 31
KNOWLEDGE and LEARNING
As you know, knowledge and learning are different. Learning offers the approach; knowledge submits itself to the touch. Be careful, though, for knowledge is governed by initiation. And within initiation there are rules and symbolisms to be drawn upon.
So we must grant that there is quality within initiations.
Before Immutability, initiation is the pledge of success.
Let us again distinguish these three terms: learning, knowledge, and initiation. Learning is an approach, whether through books, lectures, or the internet... Knowledge is the act of receiving a method for reaching the Divine. Initiation is a brief mystical period that is often highly revealing.
Paragraph 32
BODY
Let us grant that the human body is the residence of God — obviously called the inner cosmos, the microcosm, and the soul. How would the Divine have placed this immutability within our body? Trying to answer this question is perhaps not entirely within our reach, but we felt we had to raise the possibility. So do not be surprised to be left wanting more.
Since the Creator has chosen us as His residence, He naturally seeps into us as He exists, made of light and of vibrations.
How does He do that? Perhaps you will give me the answer...
Paragraph 33
BRAIN and EGO
The brain authorizes material activity. As we know, the human being must control this energy to make the most of his capacities. Even so, we must always be wary of the ego. Let us study the phrase “I think, therefore I am.” Within this relation of ego and brain, or of thought, where do we find immutability? Nowhere, and to acknowledge that, let us write a phrase like this one.
“I think, therefore I am That.”
Paragraph 34
PERSONALITY
God has no personality, as you understand. He would lose His immutability in the process. So it is through our personalities that the Immutable evolves. Security, protection, or locks can only be found in us. Within this chain of individuality or personality, immutability passes through.
Adopt auditory and visual contemplation, “Shabda” and “Téjas,”
as the filter for living within immutability.
Included in this chapter
The Treatise on Immutability lays the foundations of the ACAV model: non-action and non-reaction as the nature of the Creator, opposed to human action. Twenty themes unfold in sequence — universe, human being, trinity, interrelation, ego and desire, material density, experience, good and evil, omnipresence, contemplation, knowledge and understanding, body, brain, personality — leading to the practice of Shabda and Téjas as a path of purification.
