Artists create works that are outside themselves using external materials. They focus their efforts on these external materials and create miracles. 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 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 Esoteric Science include all the arts. What a discovery it was for me, the day I realized that I could work on the material that is not unknown to me, my own material, the one that Heaven gave me and that belongs to me. That is why I do nothing else but write my own book, that is, myself! I have done nothing else but write the book that I am. You may say, "But then, the books we read?" I do not write them. I have assigned this task to certain individuals. My duty is only to write my own book, and when I speak to you, I do so with full awareness that I am also writing. Yes, when I speak to you, I am trying to inscribe celestial 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 delicate bodies. So, from now on, your work is to become a living book. By devoting yourself to this work, you will have a beneficial influence on all those you come into contact with. This is also Brotherly love.
