Gymnastic Exercises
The gymnastics are performed outdoors. In these gymnastic exercises, each gesture has a precise meaning and is reflected on the subtle planes. These exercises were therefore designed by Master Deunov with a great knowledge of the three planes (physical, astral and mental). The exercises appeal not only to the physical and etheric body, but also to the heart (feeling), intellect (thought) and will, in order to achieve inner unity.
There are days when you can walk and run, pick up heavy loads and transport them from one place to another. You wonder where you find the energy to do all that. And then there are days when the slightest gesture costs an effort, and you have to drag yourself through the day. What has happened to you? It is simply that the energy – the electric current, the impulse — has ceased to flow from your brain to your muscles. So your muscles remain flabby. And where is this energy supposed to come from? From your nervous system. That is why you must learn to protect and strengthen it.
And this is precisely what we are doing with the gymnastic exercises, for they reach certain centers in our nervous system and nourish, strengthen and harmonize them. And then we become capable of carrying out the most formidable tasks.
There is an extremely important rule known to Initiatic Science, according to which each of our activities must reach all three worlds: the physical world, the world of feeling and the world of thought. If you really knew how to work on the level of the three worlds you would obtain powerful results: results that would benefit not only you but the whole brotherhood and even the whole world. I have shown you how the word – whether it is said out loud or not – becomes effective when it accompanies a gesture, a feeling, a thought, an intention or a movement of the will.
