 inner silence, it's the self-denial. It is to live devoid of ego.

     Silence is the best and most powerful initiation. The initiations by contact, regard, etc. are of an inferior nature. Silent initiation accomplishes a change in the heart.

     Silence speaks non-stop. It is a continuous current which is not interrupted only by speech. Spoken words obstruct silent language that stops when you start talking. Silence is a perpetual eloquence while words are resistances.

     You can listen to talks about the truth and walk away with nothing. retained while contact witha “to be silent”, even if he does not utter a only word, will lead to a greater understanding of the subject. He is preferable, at the level of the results to be achieved, to sit quietly spreading an inner calm and strength than preaching loudly.

     What we are able to know, even after years of conversation, can be apprehended instantly in silence, or opposite silence.

     Silence is a real teaching that is suitable only for advanced researchers. Less advanced researchers need words to to explainthe truth, which can nevertheless encourage them to continue on the path of silence. Let us know, however, that the truth is far beyond words and does not give taken with no explanation.

     Silence is endless speech. Vocal speech interferes with speech silent. In silence there is intimate contact with the environment.

  J'accoquine
 the quince game
 without misunderstanding
 with nevertheless a lot of lamb fat .

  I perk up
 at first sight
 family dishes
 with a lot of pain because my heart hurts .

 To remember
 only on Sunday
 family outing
 led us to the Bois de Boulogne
 to pick it up
 under the dry leaf
 spring flower
 from when I was a child
 and that I was holding Lucette's hand .

 We had to cross the Mirabeau bridge
 under which the Seine already flowed
 He has to remind me of that
 it was quite funny
 to make circles in the water .

 In the Shepherdess Garden
 there was lilac
 at aunt Marie and uncle Jean
 we sat under the arbor
 the parents blissed out loud
 it was good
 there was Kabou the son of the family
 and his Kabylian accent
 there was this black dog
 who was called Black
 hair ball
 with dark truffle
 full of fragrant sweat
 there was a salad bowl full of strawberries with cream
 at four o'clock
 that was good
 when the radio gave the results of the races
 preliminaries to the battle cry
 " Shit ! I have two but not three . "

 physical poetry
 the one who cracks the joints
 and tie the belly
 the one who stutters as soon as the brush is passed
 fresh poetry
 on the front of the window
 at the fall of the geraniums
 overwhelmed by the spring frost
 Slow murder
 full poetry
 that of the oxymorons
 suspicious passages
 in overrated beauty
 fun bubbles
 say and say again thank you
 Overwhelm of this life like no other
 except the memory of my friends gone
 in the cold of the promised land
 There are open windows
 in catimini
 to let the pressurized steam whistle
 Convenience pressure cooker
 let's close it
 and live hidden
 my darling of love.

Don't do it anymore war .

Be wise in your requests .

You do not have to win or lose. You humbly have to be immutable and eternal .

If good or bad thoughts assail you and that by activism of life, you try to accumulate more good thoughts than bad thoughts, to that the light can defeat the forces of evil ; no doubt that your experience life will be increased. But of this fight, you will only collect cemeteries, with lots of good and bad buried people who don't will only enrich your history of humanity. We will give you the honors because you will have, by duty of memory, assumed the continuity of the past .

But you, or will you be when the wind of History has erased your Being ?

you have to say : “stop” to what is happening at your knowledge, to the instinctual racing of your mind, to this propensity that you have to obstruct the energy channels of your deep vitality .

 So you discover the sweet release of silence between thoughts, because there is a presence between thoughts, and this presence we can recognize because she is who we are .

We were taught to believe “I think so I am” when the truth is“I am and, by consequent, I think”. We were taught to follow the trance of thoughts conditioned based on a past full of cravings and aversions .

Can we think the presence ?

Non !

And this answer causes relaxation, a relief, liberation out of the world intrusive and illusory of thought.

dipped as we we are in the existential bath of daily life undergone, this quest seemingly insatiable in continually reinventing the “me” is not than a thought to which we add another reformulated thought, and then another one, And so on. Until one “stop” do collapsing the house of cards of data-regurgitating automatisms self-reflective thoughts instilled by our memory-parrot thought more adept at bury your head in the known only to make us contact what cannot be think, to any other, and yet so close to us, to our mind confronted in silence .

do nothing, simply welcome the thought or emotion that arises. Allow to relax natural, to the natural truth of who you are, to take the not on thought .

No matter who you imagine yourself to be, the truth of who you are is more deeper than the role that you socially assume .

Become existence itself, become that consciousness, this stage on which actors act, this screen on which the film of your life is projected, become this force that drives you far beyond the roles you take on .

Right here, It's not about not of what you can become one day but just now of what you are and have always been. And this passes through the submission of the mind to silence .

Be yourself the true living teacher in each of you, and which is revealed in each business thing, may it be outside of you as well, immersed that you are in the social bath only inside you by this faculty that you have to be able to say “stop” to your galloping mind .

   the real in itself is unattainable by the scientist. For Bernard d'Espagnat he is in fact “veil”.

The aim of the classical physics is to lift the veil of appearances in order to discover and describe what is under this veil, the real in itself. They say she is descriptive. It serves as the basis for most technologies. She's trying to describe reality as it is. So there are material bodies, electric and electromagnetic fields to which symbols are associated mathematics that is said to obey certain laws. The philosophers say it fits into the framework of ontological realism. It is a theory that aims to knowledge of what is .

When the mechanics quantum appeared, the notion of things existing in themselves, in the space, separately from each other, tended to fade away in favor of a certain globality that does not manifest itself to the gaze but hides in the equations. For this it is useless to make a description, it is naturally necessary to state constitutive axioms, which on the whole present themselves as rules of prediction of what will be observed. Quantum mechanics is predictive information. Its axioms are of the type : and “on” did this, “on” watch this ; in which the “on”, the observer human in general, is an integral part of the statement .

For Bernard from Spain, the richness of the content of science does not reside in the fluctuating descriptions that this one proposes of reality but well in its ability to provide us with a rational synthesis, so illuminating for the mind, observed phenomena ; which means in particular a synthesis our ability to predict them .

The real is good the, but it remains veiled. There is clearly something that is resisting us. We have no knowledge of the thing in itself, but we have at least connections with her. We apprehend it as from within, in the alive .

This vision of veiled reality has the consequence that if really it is our mind that, because of its own structure, cuts out objects within the background of things, he becomes impossible to represent the mind as an emanation of such and such of these objects. We can say then that the spirit emanates from the bottom of things. Neither the objects nor sensations are things in themselves and the idea of ​​the co-emergence of with each other seems to have something right .

This real, this background things is not a thing. He is beyond space and also beyond doubt time. He is the Being .

There wouldn't be on the one hand qualified science to reach the bottom of things and on the other apart from art, the music, poetry, Spirituality … confined to alone approval. Art lovers, of music or poetry have the very feeling stronger than, beyond mere pleasure, the emotions felt on these occasions open them on a “Something” essential, on a domain mysterious that we are only allowed to glimpse .

As it concerns the search for meaning, we need, at full force, an explanation we have to to seek in what is higher than ourselves and which is, by consequent, mysterious. It's the real, being, the divine .

Faced with the reality and the limits of the empirical scientific method, the individual must face a choice, where to sink into despair and resignation, Where well take a step towards the transcendence that Jaspers calls the’ “Encompassing” .

The human spirit retain a kind of vague memory of this previous Being, of this Encompassing related to veiled reality. There would then be enigmatic calls from being, kinds of images evoking things felt, both uncertain and not entirely conceptualizable, more “possible”, in this sense that, in the conception of the veiled reality, they are not excluded by the data we have, whereas in classical physics, they seemed to be.

Our efforts to knowledge give us glimmers on the real in itself, in physics, in poetry, in mysticism .

The seriousness of would not man consist in being oriented, in spirit, towards being, toward the ultimate, And this, without the certainty of reaching it ? This ultimate. The mystery .

Question : How can I to conceive of another person as a real other without making him an object of my needs? How can I integrate a radical consideration of the other with the deep human yearning for the experience of being-with ?

     Answer: by a concept that integrates the two, “Eros” and its corollary, the erotic relationship.

seek to be connected to the world, to be attracted to it and pushed by it, to be curious, seek to access people, to thoughts, to creations, are examples of the erotic relationship to the world, a caring relationship, of presence and awareness.

Eros did not intention to own, nor to assimilate the other. He is aiming for a kind “to be with” cet autre par laquelle les différences individuelles se transforment en parties mutuellement complémentaires qui ensemble forme un tout qui est plus et autre chose que la somme de ses parties. Le tout, en retour, transforme les personnes impliquées.

A propos de l’âme engagée dans sa vie essentielle, il s’agit de l’âme érotique et non del’âme désirante.

The désir cherche à consommer le monde, à transformer ce qui est autre en ce qui est mien.

Eros aime le monde et révère sa beauté. Il veut fusionner ou rejoindre la beauté de ses objets. Il ne les consomme pas.

Comme le désir, Eros commence parthe lack, mais ce qu’il cherche n’est pas telle ou telle satisfaction. Il cherche àcompléter l’âme elle-même.

Personne ne peut réussir seul à compléter son âme. Cela nécessite la volonté de transcender son ego et de s’immerger dans la situation que l’on partage avec l’autre personne et plus largement avec le monde.

 This rose scent
 this kindness of the look
 this benevolence of the outstretched hand
 are love
 of this open door
 where to be withdrawn on the too much of oneself
 where to be too on the go to and see
 take stock
 in the silence
 go deep and in peace
 towards its fulfillment beyond fears
 hors la peur du manque
 out of fear of pain
 out of fear of being attacked
 let go of the protections
 go around our deaf and dumb being
 to experience the nakedness
 in tolerance
 dans la légèreté du mental assagi
 vers davantage de compassion
 dans la dessaisie de l'ego
 don't get lost
 devant ces rencontres où la semence d'amour
 is only mirror and labyrinth
 pour revenir en maîtrise de soi
 make the trip
 Alone
 step by step
 on the path of shadow and light
 en donnant le change sans donner de leçon
 knowing they are brother and sister
 for happy and light
 distribute
 à soulever l'éternelle nouveauté
 the transmission of tradition
 this track
 cette audace
 this beyond words
 this smile on the future
 this obligation of trust .

 In the Cévennes region
 mists and mixed forests
 winding roads
 dry stone walls
 traces of a sun
 I encalmine sous la frondaison
 of autumn in its light
 made of winks
 and made up of abrupt indentations
 by the grave smile of the clouds
 winter with treacherous slides
 of snow burying the ditch
 of a spring with decoctions of nascent greens
 of summer and its burn
 ransacking with a gesture of the scythe
 the sparkling maquis of dryness
 under heavy attack
 with a rebellious wind
 than chafouin love
 chestnuts on hand
 and sudden withdrawal
 with a steady gaze
 accompanied by a stroke of the pen
 our ascent towards the growth of Being
 for together
 enchant with a pale rattle
 sheep and goats
 outstretched muzzles
 towards the approaching storm
 making the rainbow
 the great mystery
 things dissolved
 beyond greenhouses and ledges
 by the guttural call of the shepherd
 verb
 not to distract
 contemplation
 on this obligatory path
 full of improvised candle lights
 where to walk with peace of mind
 towards our birth
 similar to all .

These are recommendations to follow to live more harmoniously, be in tune with the depths of oneself and make the trials experienced opportunities to grow in consciousness in an ever more complex world

They form a code of conduct capable of quickly transform our life into an experience of freedom, of happiness and of love .

They come from the ancient Toltecs whose sages taught men and women what it meant to live clearly and exemplarily as peaceful warriors .

     The first toltec agreement is : “let your word be impeccable”

Speech allows us to express our power Creator. It is through it that we manifest things. The word is not simply a sound or a written symbol. It's a strength. She represents our ability to communicate, thinking, and therefore to create the events of our lives. Speech is so powerful that a single word can change a life or destroy it. .

Every human being is a magician. By our word we can either put a spell on somebody, either free him .

The term “impeccable” means, according to its etymology, “without sin”. A sin is something we commit against ourselves. The concept of sin is here transformed, it's not no longer a matter of morality or religion, it's a matter of common sense. the sin begins with self-denial .

Speak judgment against someone can have the power of black magic called gossip, or the spreading rumors. Gossip has become the main form of human society communication. An old popular expression says that “misery loves company”, and the people who practice it and suffer don't want to be alone. Spreading rumors is the equivalent of a computer virus .

We can assess the degree of impeccability of our word to the alder of the love we have for ourselves .

     The second Toltec agreement is that : “whatever happens, don't make a deal of it personal”

Take what is said about it personally we, it is to agree to a remark that may be derogatory. From then the poison will seep into us and we will be trapped. And if we do trap, is that we take ourselves seriously and make everything a business personal. It's that we give ourselves importance, what is a great manifestation of selfishness since we then start from the principle that everything what happens to us concerns us. We are not responsible for what the others do .

If someone gives their opinion, let's not a case, because this person in truth is faced with his own feelings and beliefs, to find nothing better than to pour out its own personal business. We become easy prey for all these predators, all who practice black magic by their word. They develop what in psychoanalysis is called projection. Discern this psychic mechanism that can only harm us is necessary .

If someone does not treat us with love and respect, take it as a gift that he leaves us one day .

Have confidence in our ability to perform the good choices. We are not responsible for the actions of others ; only from ourselves .

     the third toltec agreement is : “don't make assumptions”

We imagine lots of things and do assumptions about everything. What is serious is that we believe then that they are the truth. The sadness and the drama to which we have been confronted in our life come from this habit of making guesses, to attribute intentions to others and to take things personally .

It is always better to ask questions than to make assumptions, because these program us to suffer .

We assume that everyone sees life as we see her. In every relationship one can indulge in assuming that the others knowing us, know what we think without having to formulate Our needs, and they will do what it takes . And if they don't we are injured !

If others change, it's not because that we have the power ; it is rather because they want to evolve .

We don't have to justify love ; love is present or not. True love consists in accepting such people that they are without trying to change them. By communicating clearly, our relationships will change, just as much with our partner as with everyone .

We all have habits we're not even into aware. Bringing them to consciousness is therefore the first step to take. .

      the fourth toltec agreement is : “always do your best”

everything is alive, everything is constantly changing, by therefore our best will sometimes be at a high level and other times at a lower level .

If we just do our best, we will live our existence intensely. We will be productive and kind to ourselves because we will give our family, to our community, See you later thing .

To be in action is to live fully. Inaction is a way of denying life. L’inaction, is to stay seated in front of the television every day for years, because we are afraid to be alive and take the risk of expressing who we are .

Everything we commonly know and do, we learned it by repetition. We are masters in the art of to walk, To drive, to speak, to sing or write because we are exercised .

In our quest for personal freedom and of self love, we need to get up and act. This is how we will assume our humanity. Let's honor the man or the woman that we are. respect our body enjoying it, the magnet, nourishing it, washing it, the caregiver. Let's engage in activities that are good for our body. It is by this way that we will touch greater than ourselves and commune with the mystery .

May each of our actions become a ritual for to adore what surpasses us and leads us .

The observance of the four Toltec agreements will allow you to become a warrior capable of transcending suffering and not never come back. The same goes for happiness. The only reason for that we are happy is because we have made a choice. the happiness, just like the pain, is a choice .
