Which spiritual model to adopt?

In the history of mankind, we have had corresponding great civilizations at different ages: that of Atlantis, followed by ancient India and ancient Persia, then ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, and the Roman civilization in which we are. Glorious civilizations have spread from Atlantis to Egypt, after which we are witnessing a gradual decline. It is the descent before the ascent, which means that humanity will reach a low point of regression before rising. In the ascension of humanity, we must ask ourselves, which spiritual model (given that the spiritual governs the material) do we not want to rebuild? As models, we have three whose influence and heritage are present today: the civilizations of ancient India, ancient Egypt, and the Roman Empire.

The spiritual models of ancient India and Egypt, whose archives are present, challenge us because we have material proof of their existence and their remains. Atlantis, which was a wondrous age of gods on earth, may be utopian to some, so to avoid confusion, the models of achievement available and materially visible are ancient India (ancient Persia is very similar to it) and ancient Egypt. The spiritual model of ancient Egypt suits us now compared to that of ancient India, which preceded it through the ages. My point is based on the following words of Rudolf Steiner: "In the days of ancient India, man lived in a state of mind in which he turned away from the physical world and sought the spiritual world." Ancient India is so far away, so let us look at Ancient Egypt, which is so close to us. This statement by Steiner shows the stark difference between the spiritual model of ancient India and that of ancient Egypt. In ancient Egypt, the pharaohs could, by their perfect reading of the stars, predict terrestrial events, thus acting on matter and transforming the physical world, as evidenced by the vestiges left by this great civilization through its architectural miracles and their advanced knowledge. Ancient Egyptian civilization suits us perfectly if it is a question of rebuilding a new society by transforming Gaia into the paradise that we desire.

The model of ancient Greece inspired the spiritual model of ancient Rome, which is the civilization we are in, and this era has reached its peak and is in decline as the failure is palpable. We must therefore look to history for better orientation because nothing has been created that does not already exist. The spiritual model of the ancient Egyptians is perfect because it is the source of the spiritual and philosophical knowledge of ancient Greece (Phytagora, Thales, Socrates, and Plato studied in Egypt) and because the Egyptian spiritual model reigned over the whole earth for more than 3000 years. In ancient Egypt, the morals and integrity of the Pharaoh were recognized and attested to by all; their wisdom, their knowledge, and their spiritual powers promulgated them to the rank of gods. By the moral decadence that is exacerbated under the Roman Empire and that has worsened nowadays, the greatest dishonest people who create wars, colonizations, great liars, cheats, and corrupt people are the leaders and are moreover elected by their fellow citizens. This is where we are, so it is imperative to choose a model of society that suits us. This model must be spiritual because the more we grow spiritually, the less we are interested in earthly things. We seek to please the divine in order to sit at the table of the gods.

A model based only on knowledge and technological progress will be doomed if it is not anchored in a sacred spirituality, because "science without conscience is only the ruin of the soul." Ancient Egypt did it; the ancient Egyptians had the science, the technology, and the knowledge, all subject to the spiritual pattern, which was the perfection of the soul leading to the manifestation of the spirit in all its power. On earth, we have, from a material point of view, the confirmation of the greatness of the civilization of ancient Egypt. The most fascinating thing is precisely to see the prowess of this civilization amaze today's humanity, and its mysteries are still unexplained.

On the other hand, we have the coliseum in Rome, but what were the Romans doing inside? from the butcher! This is why in our current civilization, human beings are considered to be like cattle, good for all kinds of experimentation; this is the legacy of Roman civilization. It is the irony of the world to present the coliseum as a vestige of greatness! - In the pyramids, people did not kill each other; they studied the stars and their movements. The ancient Egyptians unlocked the secrets of the universe; they wrote them on the walls. The pyramids were high places of the teaching of spirituality, which leads to immortality. This is why the choice of the spiritual model to be inspired by must be one that has demonstrated convincing results and produced wonders.

Our model of society with technological progress, which is the materialization of intelligence, but without moral conscience, leads us into chaos. When technical progress is not used in the service of a humanitarian ideal, we have the abuses we see with censorship, data collection, espionage, starvation, lockdowns, etc., purely for financial gain and a lust for power. While the ancient Egyptians spiritualized intelligence, which puts it at the service of humanity for its happiness on earth, this is the model that we take as Africans; we are lucky to have had such a civilization on our continent, and this heritage is still in Egypt.

When do you visit Egypt before going to Saint-Tropez? As an African, this is worrying; on our continent we have wonders; it's high time to see them. There are even more pyramids in Sudan than in Egypt. Let's visit Africa.

The mosque of Timbuktu is sumptuous! The falls in Zimbabwe are wonderful, and Stellenbosch is so pretty!

Africa is very beautiful❤.
