However,
five years later I was miraculously healed through an out of the body experience
that projected and brought me face to Face with an incredible experience that
healed me completely... However, I will leave this episode of my life, since
it is not directly connected with Raymond Bernard.
As I was saying, I don't know
how I will present myself since I have nothing special to say about myself
but much to say about Raymond... However, let
me just say that in reality, I am a free traveller, a constant pilgrim
open to experience everything coming my way. As a human being, the most
important thing is to awaken the spiritual dimension of consciousness and
in so, doing, experience a more profound Reality that I can share and pass
on to whoever comes my way and has the same ideals. What is it that I do
in life? To write, read, travel, giving workshops, enjoying my family and
circle of friends. My spiritual 'training' started in 1968 with theFrench
Juridisction of the Rosicrucian Order AMORC. I was a conscientious member
for 22 years...much later I
met my spiritual Master, Raymond Bernard in 1984 at the Plaka under the
hills of the Parthenon in Athens Greece... .As a result of that incredibly
moving encounter; I
left my family in Cyprus for 3 years and went to become a psychosynthesis
councilor
in London. A new cycle started to unfold a painful but redeeming experience.
Even during these difficult years I always kept an inner contact with my
physical Master, and once I must confess I met him by "coincidence" in
Paris...
So what is my name? I am called Alice Ouzounian. I was born in Cairo Egypt on the 4th June 1939 and like all good "ancient" Egyptians, from a very early age (around 4) I was yearning to understand the mystery of life and death. This was very important because I distinctly remember that from the age of 4, I had vivid and conscious out of body experiences that marked my life. Dreams and altered states of consciousness, astral projections were part of my childhood experiences, and being very shy; I lived and felt an incredible mystery surrounding me.
My physical spiritual Master Raymond Bernard is French and when I was only 4 my parents put me in an English school in Cairo, I used to escape from it and go further down the street to a French kindergarten... This went on for a while until my parents decided that I should go to another English school. I also escaped from that second school and found myself running home... As a result of my not complying with my parents' wishes, they wisely decided that if I wanted to have a French education, so be it, I should. Thus at home, my first language was Armenian and my second one French. So why did I want to give myself a French education? Is it because I had in later life to rekindle my disciple's relationship with my Initiator who happened to be French? My answer is YES, no doubt about it... So my childhood out of the body experiences and my giving myself a French education make me ponder and ask myself the question "Do we have really free will?"
things start to change. This happens when the ego ripens and needs to experience another aspect of its own mystery. Then, a divine Image appears, a Divine face Calls the ego to awaken from its long slumber...so as to look in the mirror of its true Self. ...There, an invisible Presence makes its appearance and influences the ego... From that moment on, we are no longer free... a Higher Will guides our steps and we feel ready to attune to the impulses coming from a different Source. Where and what is this Source? It is the inspiration and guidance coming from a Master. What kind of a Master? A visible and invisible one… both at the same time… How can that be possible? Simply because a real enlightened being is made of flesh and bones, therefore, he is a human being and hence visible…. And invisible at the same time, because it is his level of Consciousness that is invisible for those who cannot ‘see’ and ‘hear’….and resonate with his Spirit… The resonance I am talking about takes place in the inner planes of Consciousness and are prolonged and become apparent on this level as a result of the inner communion… So, a real Master is a guiding influence that accompanies each ego personality towards its awakening process. In other words, the Master represents a role model and a projection of our own ideals...He is a counselor and intimate friend, a teacher and advisor who takes care of us while we are travelling in the inner and outer world of our experiences...
The inner Journey unfolds its mystery very subtly... Each step that one takes is a discovery filled with painful and pleasant experiences... Each conscious step taken in one's life enriches the Soul Personality... painful or pleasing experiences are all the necessary "fuel" that enflame and enliven the mystic heart...
