The Great Sense
Here comes below a crucial text from Satprem that a friend of mine from Auroville (thanks Claude!) gave me while I spend a whole month there. I can’t resist to share this text in which I see so much force. It resonates with the words I share during my conferences on the evolution of our species. The difference? He wrote it in 1969. The Great Sense This is the time of the Great Sense. We look to the right or to the left, we build theories, reform our Churches, invent super-machines and we go out in the streets to break the Machine that stifles us – we struggle in the small sense. When the terrestrial ship is sinking, does it matter whether the passengers drown to the right or left, under a flag black or red, or one of celestial blue? Our Churches have...
Read MoreYour Nicest and Greatest Gift
Do not conquer Happiness, as Happiness can not be conquered. Happiness has to be decided. Claim joy within you because within you and thanks to you that the universe is inventing itself. The masterpiece of yourself is nourished by its own purpose. Your temporal being is a musical instrument you have chosen to play that celestial music. Do not mix up the instrument and the melody. The instruments are separated, distinct, temporal. Music is oneness, timelessness, universality. Music is to be celebrated by métissage and communion. Thanks to the music’s own rapture, it’s God who dances within it. Happiness is like a violin just close to your hand. Whatever may be the circumstances of your life, here and now, you can decide to grasp it and to play it. Do not be upset...
Read MorePresidential elections: who’s the next captain of the Titanic?
You get it: everything, almost, is in the title. It seems that most people have a hard time making the distinction between the captain of a ship, and the ship itself. If the ship has structural issues in the way it’s been conceived, it matters little who the captain is: structural issues will strike someday or another. The Titanic, by design, was made to sink, no matter its captain. By design too, it was made to be lead by a precise form of collective intelligence: pyramidal collective intelligence. Indeed, the Titanic was conceived, from its architecture up to its very details, to obey an omnipotent and omniscient captain, with a chain of command made to respond at his beck and call. What’s next, we know. A scenario that happened in an identical way...
Read MoreRadical fearlessness, soul decides when
Recently, after reading the post “Towards a life of charity“, a dear friend of mine wrote me: “Your steps towards a future submerged in a life of charity reflect your sincere belief in the goodness of mankind and the strength of your being. It is indeed inspirational though I am sure that I would never be able to come even close to the stage of fearlessness that you have achieved.“ It takes courage and authenticity to share such a thing. I want to express my gratefulness to this beloved friend. Both she and her husband are a blessing in my life. I think our conversation can be a gift for others than just she and I. Therefore here is below an excerpt of my response to her. I just removed her name so that the intimate part of our exchange...
Read MoreDid these men crash the world?
I wholeheartedly recommend this excellent 4 parts documentary called “Meltdown” from Al Jazeera. Part one is below. It explains with many details how the top finance lords have deployed their most subtle and vicious art as predators that eventually lead to the 1988 crash. No need to be a Nobel Prize economist to understand the systemic outcomes of this giant casino, and how decisions of a few men who where never elected sent millions of others into the streets. Common sense is enough to get the picture. In this first episode, we follow four men who brought down the global economy: a billionaire mortgage-seller who fooled millions; a high-rolling banker with a fatal weakness; a ferocious Wall Street predator; and the power behind the throne during...
Read MoreFreudian Slips of Pyramidal Collective Intelligence
A friend of mine wrote me this morning: “My school just cut off two positions that were necessary to pursue the deployment of our project. I was supposed to hire these two persons but the context is bad and the management is opposed to any hiring! Even though I have faith, I start to feel doubts in regards to my future and in pursuing this project“. What project? A pedagogy in which students build their journey themselves. They are self-taught, they learn within a nutritive environment composed of devoted and passionate facilitators. In this place students develop themselves in an integral way, they open their intuitive and emotional intelligence as well as their mental-rational intelligence. All this with Web 2.0, social media, mobility,...
