Explanation of the name
Universal White Brotherhood
Universal White Brotherhood
Personal Note: I feel there is a brotherhood far grander than a physical/material universe or description. At the same time, there are brotherhoods existing on our planet with beautiful souls doing their utmost to live divinity in the flesh. The below describes one community that is a perfect example of pure intention: Shirlee
This name brings questions on regular basis from
people who associate the term “White” with a racist
connotation. The associated two terms “Universal” and “Brotherhood” should
clear all ambiguities on the subject.
“Brotherhood” means that the teachings are offered
to the entire community of human beings living on the planet
whose destiny is to live together as children of the same creator:
God.
“White” this term must be understood symbolically.
It refers to the white light, the highest spiritual symbol, which
is the synthesis of all colors (like all the different colors
reflected through a prism). Colors that the mystic tradition
considers being the manifestations of the soul’s virtues.
Extract of article 1 of the statutes of the association Fraternité Blanche
Universelle:
“in the name ‘Universal White Brotherhood’ the
term “white” does not in any manner refer to the
color of a particular race.
Just like the white color is the synthesis of all the colors,
the idea of “Universal White Brotherhood”, which
is immaterial, encompasses all human beings without exception.
It invites the realization of a fraternal, harmonious life on
the entire planet, respecting each race, each religion, each
nationality.”
“Universal”: the psychic structure of human beings,
who are created in the image of God, enables them to rise and
expand their consciousness until it reaches a universal concept
of life.
Therefore, the name “Universal White Brotherhood” represents
in itself a program. Its teaching is basically a psychology and
a pedagogy allowing people to do a work on themselves and, thanks
to this work, to feel that they are truly becoming brothers and
sisters, sons and daughters of God, and conscious inhabitants of this immense of this immense dwelling that is the universe. |
