"ALL THOSE WHO SAY THEY ARE PART OF THE UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD ARE EASILY RECOGNIZED: THEY STUDY THE THOUGHTS OF THEIR NEIGHBORS, SINCE TO LEARN ABOUT ALL DOCTRINES IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF TOLERANCE.
TO BELIEVE THAT ONE'S RELIGION IS THE ONLY VALID ONE IS PRETENTIOUS; THE MILLIONS WHO REPRESENT BUDDHISM AND BRAHMANISM HAVE NEVER THOUGHT TO IMPOSE THEIR IDEAS ON THE REST OF THE WORLD".
"AS A CULTRUAL , UNIVERSAL ORGANIZATION, THE UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD DOES NOT ESTABLISH RELIGIOUS BARRIERS AND FAR FROM BEING "ANTI" ANYTHING, ON THE CONTRARY, IT IS FOR ALL TYPES OF PHILOSOPHIES, AND BEFORE ALL ELSE TEACHES TOLERANCE."
ACCORDING TO THIS PRINCIPLE THE UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD CANNOT HAVE IT'S OWN DOCTRINE AND THE "MESSAGE"
REMAINS, WITHIN THE ORDER OF THE GREAT TRADITIONAL LESSONS. THE DIVERSE TEACHINGS WHICH HAVE IMPASSIONED ALL THINKERS THROUGHOUT THE COURSE OF HISTORY ARE OFFERED WITH THE PRIME GOAL OF PERMITTING THE SEEKER TO FIND THE SAME BASES EVERYWHERE WHICH ARE ALWAYS IDENTICAL IN THE HEART OF THE DIVERSE MYTHS THAT GIVE A TEACHING."
Underneath is a picture of my Guru, Pedro Enciso. Although I consider all the Universal Great Brotherhood Gurus my Gurus but Guru Pedro Enciso has a special place in my heart. Guru Pedro Enciso is a Disciple of Guru J.M. Estrada.
Guru Pedro Enciso Cofounded MAIS & AUM together with Guru Domingo Dias Porta. MAIS (Mancomunidad America India Solar)promotes the Native American Indian Tradition and AUM (Accion por la Unidad Mundial)promotes World Unity, in other words unity among all people of all races, religions, cultures, and in addition to these organizations Guru Pedro and Guru Domingo carry on the teachings of Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere.
Underneath is a picture of Guru Pedro Enciso and his grandbabies
Guru Pedro Enciso together with Getuls (Initiatic Tibetan Grade), Martel Alvarado Cofounded The White Masonic Lodges,
according to the wishes of Guru JM Estrada. These Lodges differ from other Masonic Lodges (known as Blue Lodges), because they are more in tune with the original Masonic teachings from thousands of years ago. In other words, both men and women belong to these, and in order to become a member a vow of no meat or fish, no liquor, no smoking, no drugs must be made.

Guru Estrada assisted Serge Raynaud in the establishment of the Universal Great Brotherhood, Dr Serge Raynaud de la Ferriere Foundation, (Supreme Order of Aquarius),(an NGO listed with the United Nations Dept of Public Information , UNESCO and ECOSOC).
Disicple comes from the word discipline. Not that someone disciplines me but that I discipline myself according to my wishes, goals, and abilites.
Sometimes we refer to the Gurus as Masters, meaning that they have achieved Self Mastery, which is something cool for us to strive for.
This is a picture of Guru Estrada and His Wife Carlota.
We have several different Universal Great Brotherhood Lines with slightly different names because each one has a different major focus, although they all teach Sat Guru's Serge's teachings which is a synthesis of all World Religions and the Source of Ancient Spiritual Traditions which have existed since the beginning of time.

He opted not to get married because he wanted to adopt the Bramacharya life style of celibacy in order to use that energy towards spiritual goals.

Who I'd like to meet: FRENCHMAN AND SAT GURU SERGE RAYNAUD DE LA FERRIERE, FOUNDER OF THE UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD AN ORGANIZATION WHICH SEEKS TO REUNITE ART, SCIENCE,RELIGION,AND DIDACTICS, PRACTICING HIS ASANAS.
MEMBERS OF THE UNIVERSAL GREAT BROTHERHOOD ARE COMPOSED OF PEOPLE OF ALL RELIGIONS WHO SEEK PEACE AND THE ASCENDENCY OF THE SPIRIT.
WE HAVE ENTERED THE AGE OF AQUARIUS (THE WATER BEARER)AS OF 1948.
EVERY TWO THOUSAND AND SOME ODD YEARS THE PLANET ENTERS INTO A NEW SIGN OF THE CELESTIAL ZODIAC, EACH AGE ARRIVES WITH ITS SPECIFIC ENERGIES WHICH USUALLY ARE NOT ABUNDANTLY OR CLEARLY MANIFESTED UNTIL WE ARE WELL INTO THE AGE.
AT THE BEGINNING OF EACH NEW AGE A TEACHER ARRIVES, TO TEACH US THE SAME TEACHINGS BUT ADAPTED TO THE NEW ENERGY OF THE AGE.AFTER THE TEACHER DIES WE HUMANS CREATE A NEW RELIGION AND UNFORTUNATLY DISTORT THE TEACHINGS EITHER THROUGH A MISCOMPREHENSION OR PERHAPS BECAUSE WE HAVE OUR OWN SELFISH AGENDAS.
THE AGE OF AQUARIUS IS THE AGE OF SPIRITUALITY THROUGH KNOWLEDGE. IT IS AN AGE OF PEACE, TOLERANCE AND TRUTH.IT IS THE GOLDEN AGE THAT WE HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR.
THERE IS NO ESCAPING THE RESPONSABILITY WE ARE THE ONES TO LAY THE FOUNDATION FOR THE GOLDEN AGE AND THE ONES AFTER US ARE TO CONTINUE BUILDING IT. WE ARE THE STEWARDS, KEEPERS AND GUARDIANS OF THE PLANET.
THE CROSS HAS EXISTED SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE PLANET. IT REPRESENTS THE FOUR DIRECTIONS OF THE EARTH, NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, WEST.
The more recollected a man is, and the more simple of heart he becomes, the easier he understands sublime things, for he receives the light of knowledge from above. The pure, simple, and steadfast spirit is not distracted by many labors, for he does them all for the honor of God.
“THE kingdom of God is within you,"
says the Lord (Luke 17:21).
Turn, then, to God with all your heart. Forsake this wretched world and your soul shall find rest. Learn to despise external things, to devote yourself to those that are within, and you will see the kingdom of God come unto you, that kingdom which is peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ~ Thomas à Kempis

"It is open to you every hour to retire into yourself. And where can man find a calmer, more restful haven than his soul. Dig within yourself. Therein lies the fount of good; a fount whose waters will for ever well up, if you but forever dig ". ~ Marcus Aurelius
Hi Evelyn,
Hope this finds you well. Have a wonderful month! Peace, Health and Happiness! Love, Light, Grace and Bliss! God bless you and be with you!
I heard a soft voice behind me, saying: "Return!" I lifted my head and looked around to see who was calling me and where he commanded me to return; but I saw no one.
Then the voice sounded again: "Return!" Not knowing where to return or how to get out of the darkness, I felt dismayed, but the voice called a third time: "Return to the place whence you came, to the home of your heart and shut the door behind you!"
A bright light burst upon me from above. I looked up, a dazzlingly light, such loveliness radiated from it as I had never experienced anywhere in the world. He then, all kindly, addressed me in these most gracious words.
"Welcome, welcome, my dear son and brother!" Saying that, he filled the air with such an exquisite fragrance that I was overcome with ineffable joy and tears flowed from my eyes; nor did I know what to reply to such an unexpected welcome, so I sighed deeply and gazed humbly at him. Seeing me so terrified with joy, he went on speaking: “Where have you been, my son? Where did you tarry so long? Where have you travelled? What have you been seeking in the world? Happiness? Where should you have sought God but in His temple? and where is the temple of the living God but the living temple which He has prepared for Himself, your own heart? I have watched you, my son, while you wandered, but I did not want to see you stray any longer, and I have brought you to me by leading you into yourself. For here have I chosen a palace for my dwelling; and if you dwell with me, you will find here all that you sought in vain in the world--peace, happiness, glory, and an abundance of everything. I promise you, my son, that here you will not be disappointed as you were in the world.” ~ Comenius
No one understands the passion of Christ so thoroughly or heartily as the man whose lot it is to suffer the like himself. ~ Thomas à Kempis
Try to live happily in any place, under any condition. You will become a strong and dynamic personality.
Never complain against bad environments. Create your own mental world wherever you remain and wherever you go. There are some difficulties and disadvantages wherever you go. If the mind deludes you, at every moment and at every step, try to overcome the obstacles and difficulties by suitable means. Do not try to run away from bad, unfavourable environments. God has placed you there to make you grow quickly.
If you get all sorts of comforts in a place, you will not grow strong. Your mind will be puzzled in a new place when you cannot get these comforts. Therefore, make the best use of all places. ~ Swami Sivananda
No matter where you may go, you cannot escape the cross, for wherever you go you take yourself with you and shall always find yourself. Turn where you will -- above, below, without, or within -- you will find a cross in everything, and everywhere you must have patience if you would have peace within and merit an eternal crown.
If you carry the cross willingly, it will carry and lead you to the desired goal where indeed there shall be no more suffering, but here there shall be. If you carry it unwillingly, you create a burden for yourself and increase the load, though still you have to bear it. If you cast away one cross, you will find another and perhaps a heavier one. ~ Thomas à Kempis
~~~~~~
They who seek the throne of grace Find that throne in every place: If we lead a life of prayer God is present everywhere. ~ Oliver Holden
