The ShinsungHwa of Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov (2019): A Visual Journey into Spiritual Energy
A Brief Description of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov’s ShinsungHwa
His path to the spiritual core ascends toward the spiritual core in the form of a double helix. From the spiritual core, the symbol of light radiates spiritual energy. Around his body, a highly distinctive energy field has formed. Could this unique energy field be a reflection of the calling he was meant to fulfill in the world?
Quote
“Strive each day to make your life purer, richer, and more luminous. You will subtly and imperceptibly lead all of creation heavenward.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
“Whatever your trials, remind yourself that you are a spirit and are capable of changing your destiny.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
“Our Higher Self is perfect, Omniscient and Almighty. A fragment of God himself. A pure, transparent, luminous, Quintessence.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
“Gratitude is what opens the spiritual doors to all the blessings. Everything becomes clear, you see, you feel, you live.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
“Do you want to be happy? Well, don’t expect anyone to think of you, or understand you or love you. Everyone has their own preoccupations, their own cares, and if someone is with you one moment, they may be engaged elsewhere the next.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
“Instead of looking for love, give it; constantly renew it in yourself and you will always feel its presence within you. It will always be there smiling at you, gazing on you kindly.”
_Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
A Childhood Shaped by Fire and Loss
Mihail Dimitrov Ivanov entered the world on January 31, 1900, in Serbtzi, a remote mountain village in Macedonia. Life there was harsh. His father traveled to Bulgaria’s coast seeking work while Mihail remained with his mother and grandmother—a village healer respected throughout the region.
Everything changed when Mihail turned seven. Soldiers torched their village, forcing the family to flee on foot across several days of treacherous terrain to reach Varna on the coast. Within two years, his father died, plunging them into poverty.
Rather than crushing his spirit, these trials awakened something extraordinary in young Mihail. He became fascinated by elemental beauty: flickering flames, vibrant threads, bubbling springs, and birds cutting through open sky. These childhood obsessions would later emerge as central symbols in his spiritual philosophy.
A Destined Encounter
At seventeen, juggling odd jobs to keep his family afloat, Mihail encountered Peter Deunov in 1917. Deunov had established the Universal White Brotherhood, earning recognition across Bulgaria and beyond for his profound wisdom and compassion.
The meeting sparked instant recognition. Mihail understood immediately that he’d found his calling. For two decades, he absorbed Deunov’s teachings while pursuing formal education at the University of Sofia, studying psychology, education, mathematics, chemistry, and medicine.
His dual existence fascinated observers: schoolteacher and principal by day, mountain mystic by night and during holidays. At sixteen, he’d already experienced his first awakening—what he described as hearing “the music of the spheres,” the universe’s own song.
A Sacred Mission
By 1937, Europe teetered on the brink of catastrophe. Deunov, possessing remarkable foresight, recognized the coming storm. Political upheaval would make spiritual teaching dangerous in Bulgaria. He made a heart-wrenching decision: sending his most trusted disciple to carry their teachings to France.
Mikhail arrived in Paris on July 22, 1937—penniless, unable to speak French, knowing only one person in the entire country. Where others might have despaired, he saw opportunity. His linguistic gifts served him well; he mastered French rapidly and began teaching.
His first Paris lecture came on January 29, 1938. This marked the beginning of an extraordinary output: over 5,000 talks across forty-eight years, all recorded and eventually published in more than thirty languages.
The Sacred Name
In 1959, Mikhail journeyed to India, seeking the source of ancient wisdom. There he met the legendary Neem Karoli Baba, revered throughout northern India as “Miracle Baba.”
During deep meditation, three sages approached and spoke a single word: “Omraam.” This became his spiritual name. Neem Karoli Baba honored him as “the French Sadhu,” recognizing his authentic seeking.
His return to France revealed a transformed man. Students witnessed a luminous presence that hadn’t existed before. They began calling him “Master”—not from obligation, but from genuine reverence.
Universal Wisdom
What distinguished Omraam’s teachings was their elegant simplicity: anyone could help create a better world. Through personal transformation—developing kindness, love, and understanding—we could manifest what he called “the Kingdom of God on earth.”
He often used solar imagery. As the sun provides light, warmth, and life indiscriminately, we should cultivate “solar consciousness”—freely sharing our love and wisdom. “Think of me as a signpost pointing toward your path,” he taught. “Don’t stop at the signpost… continue traveling until you reach the sun.”
His methods emphasized practicality: sunrise meditation, mindful eating, positive thinking as transformation tools. He believed consistent daily practices, performed with love and attention, could spark profound personal change.
Omraam’s death on Christmas Day, 1986, marked not an ending but a beginning. He left behind a global community united by one revolutionary principle: all humans are family, regardless of race, religion, or nationality.
The Universal White Brotherhood maintains centers worldwide—from France to Canada, Switzerland to the United States. Thousands still gather annually at the Bonfin center near Fréjus, where Omraam taught for decades.
His 44 books and recorded talks continue inspiring new generations. Yet his greatest legacy remains the living example he embodied: no matter how difficult our origins, we all possess the potential to become sources of light and love.
