Tell Me Your Story

Rev. Paul Nugent Director The Aetherius Society American Headquarters 6202 Afton Place Hollywood, CA 90028 www.aetherius.org Service is the Jewel in the Rock of Attainment The Society’s beliefs cover a very wide spectrum of philosophy, religion, metaphysics and the spiritual sciences, including the following key concepts: Selfless service to others Service to others, also known as “karma yoga”, is the greatest spiritual practice anyone can perform. This is the most important aspect of The Aetherius Society’s work and teachings. Yoga Far from just being a way to stay fit and healthy, or even a relaxation technique, yoga is in fact a profound and ancient spiritual philosophy with enlightenment and selflessness at its core. Spiritual energy, prayer and healing Sending out energy through prayer on a holy mountain Spiritual energy is no less real than electricity and operates according to natural laws. It can help to heal, inspire, guide, bless and protect whoever it is directed to. We can all learn to invoke and transmit this light energy – this love energy – to help ourselves, individuals in need, and most importantly, the world as a whole. Dynamic prayer is not about requesting a favor from a whimsical deity, but about attracting spiritual energy to oneself and directing it to a focal point to bring about positive change. Mantra – the recitation of holy sounds – is also a great way to invoke and transmit this mystical power. Spiritual healing works in a similar way and can be learnt by anyone. The Divine within The essence of us all, and of everything in creation, is Divine – a spark of God. We all come from the Divine source – and we will all eventually return to this source. It is known by many names – God, Brahma, Jehovah etc, and is described differently by different faiths. It is eternal, all-powerful and all-knowing. It exists everywhere – and it is everything. In fact, it is more even than that. By correctly navigating our own personal journey through experience, we evolve and become increasingly aware of our Divine nature. As a result we gain greater and greater enlightenment, and also greater and greater spiritual powers which can be used in selfless service to others. Intuition and psychic powers It is possible for all of us to develop our intuition and innate psychic ability through service and yogic self-development techniques. The Mother Earth The Mother Earth is a living Goddess who is sacrificing her own evolution to provide a home for humankind – a backward and often barbaric race. The Aetherius Society works in various ways to help her in this self-appointed task – a task of unimaginable self-sacrifice. Extraterrestrial life A depiction of Sri Krishna Advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist on other planets in this solar system. Science as we know it has not detected this life because it exists at higher frequencies of vibration on these planets. In The Aetherius Society these beings are sometimes termed “Cosmic Masters”, or even “Gods”, in deference to their high state of spiritual evolution. In great compassion and self-sacrifice, they help humankind on Earth in countless ways. Without them we would have long since perished.
