  Our key-words: prayers, meditation, love in thoughts and in action, vegetarism, work on ourselves on the path toward the Light. We give a minimum of one hour of you time every week to meditate in the spiritual growth of Humanity and reactivation of love in all heart, in group or personnaly. We give several hours of our time every month to help every one who wants to be in this love energy by making some changes. To pray is not enough if action does not go with it. We do not succeed asking God for success or peace, but asking him to give us the strenght to grow at his image and to serve the Divine Light. The commandment: -You shall not kill- means that we should respect life in all aspects. I will help personnally people to eat more properly, without eating meat. As all real masters say, I repeat it: everytime an animal is killed with no reason, a man will be killed in vilolence. it is time to stop this river of blood.
