About the book: 2018 / French philosopher and teacher, Teacher Omraam Mikael Aivankhov (1900-1986) was born in Bulgaria and lived in France since 1937. In all his conversations, one is struck by the variety of points of view from which he considers a single problem: man and his improvement. Any topic he touches on is invariably interpreted from the perspective of the benefits that a person can derive for self-knowledge, self-improvement and better organization of his life. “Thousands of years before physicists split the atom, people were doing it every day in their own bodies. And they continue to do this, since nutrition is nothing more than the process of breaking down matter. Eating means learning to break down matter and directing the energy extracted from it to all organs: lungs, heart, brain... Slow and long chewing of food represents the first stage of this splitting. The second stage is the work of thought, which, like an unusually penetrating ray, reaches the core of matter, from which it releases the most subtle energies to ensure the work of the soul and spirit.” Omraam Mikael Aivankhov
