The name Universal White Brotherhood primarily refers to the community of saints, initiates and masters who work to realise the ideal of a united world. In a physical sense, it refers to the disciples of Master Peter Deunov and also to those of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov who meet together as spiritual communities in brotherhood centres throughout the world. Centres formed by disciples of Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov have now spread from Europe to North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia.
"It’s easy for a few people to unite, to have good relationships and understand one another. For humans generally tend to group together according to their affinities. But when it’s a question of all the countries and all the nations on earth having to live together, what problems there are! For centuries, millennia, they have risen up against each other with their own visions of the world and their different religions, with their different political and economic systems and their different traditions. How can they be brought into harmony? That requires a prodigious science. The aim of our teaching is not to unite a few people but to unite all people. When you come here, that is what you should be thinking about, what you should be working towards: What can you can do to spread this philosophy of universality?"
Omraam Mikhaël Aïvanhov
