L'importance de la Lumière et du "laser spirituel" dans l'enseignement du maître Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov (1900-1986)
Disciple of Bulgarian Master Beinsa Douno (Peter Deunov) (1864-1944), Michaël Ivanoff (1900-1986) has been known under the name of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov since 1960. Between 1938 and 1985, he taught a spiritual teaching on Light in France. This teaching was inspired by the Christian esoterism of the Johannist tradition, by Transcendentalism, Kabbalah, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and Buddhism. When Mikhaël Ivanoff returned from India in 1960 after a one-year trip, he developed the concept of the spiritual laser, transferring by analogy the physician Theodore Maiman’s recent discovery into a practice of individual and collective meditation on the spiritual Light, which would have the aim of awakening the consciousness of human beings all around the world.  The present M. A. thesis studies the teachings on the spiritual Light, called Vidélina in Bulgarian, which were given by master Aïvanhov in the period 1938 to 1980, in the multireligious heritage where they come from. It also presents the practice of the spiritual laser that he created in 1962, through the review of his lectures and the participating observation of this practice from 1980 to 1995, then from 2011 to 2020 at three centers of the Universal White Brotherhood of this master. Finally this thesis draws the adequate conditions to ensure the continuity of this collective spiritual practice.
