Translated from the French. Collection Izvor. "This book was conceived as a complement to the exhibition, The Sun and the Heliocentric Point of View, created by the disciples of the Universal White Brotherhood to illustrate the Maitre Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov's solar philosophy. Although we may know about heliocentricity from the point of view of astronomy, we are still far from having exhausted all its possibilities in the biological, spiritual spheres. We are constantly looking for more effective ways of harnessing solar energy: why not look for traces of sun buried deep in man's psychic structure and consequently in human society? The sun exists within each one of us and if allowed to, can manifest its presence by awakening our consciousness to a global view of human problems." --Back cover. Editor's note: "The word white in Universal White Brotherhood, does not refer to colour or race, but to purity of soul. The Teaching shows how all men without exception (universla), can live a new form of life on earth (brotherhood), in harmony (white), and with respect for each other's race, creed and country...that is, Universal White Brotherhood."
