About Beauty If we open our eyes we can see the beauty of this universe. In his metaphysical vision Plato put the Beauty at the roots of this creation.

Faces I was in a great anxiety about my daughter lost in a huge American city and I began to picture the faces emerging from my intuitive feelings when I was thinking about her. I think these faces were indicating the surrounding emotions around her. I was like a television receiving some most significant images of the multiple personalities in her and my subconsciousness connected on an invisible level. I was thinking about her and my hand was creating the shapes and emotions on paper without any idea what will appear, a colorful channeling and a surprise. I was thinking in the beginning to get in contact with angelic beings. I have done this in the past in very painful circomstances with the hope that this work will help her in her unreasonable adventure. But we can not reproduce the energies belonging to the past. That's why the first face was may be a little less material than the next ones. These faces were emerging every day sometimes twice, sometimes only once a day and I was waiting and worring, feeling in my heart that when you are a loving mother, you are comunicating with the loved person despite the distance and the time.

About the quest This is not a lesson nor a spiritual teaching, this a simple advice to those people who are searching for something other than consumer products, money or power. These advices are based on the general experience of human beings and my own experience. Many people when they begin to think about some basic things like life and death, why are we here, what is the meaning of this battle for a better life, for our children and the people we love, are putting their first step in the church, or in a spiritual organisation or society in search of a recommandation. They hope for some answers with the help of wise people about their feeling to be lost and ignorant. And they meet people who are giving very wise explanations based on what they have learned and studied in the books of their spiritual masters. All what they are teaching is absolutely true and full of a deep wisdom. The only difference is that they have learned that in books and very few of them had experienced this wisdom by themselves. There is a huge difference between having the spiritual experience that gives you the true knowledge and the power to put it in your everyday life and learn the same experience in readings. Only a true spiritual Master can give you the experience and the knowledge, but never forget that acts speaks louder than words, and people giving speeches, conferences, and teachings are only human beeing like you and me with their imperfections, their intolerance, their problems. Like all of us they often manifest the opposite of what they teach (do what I am saying, but do not what I am doing) and a huge spiritual ego is very often unveiled when one have discovered one's spiritual way. Of course this step of searching for an adwice in an organisation can help you in your quest but if you want go ahead you have to leave it one day because nobody and nothing have the right to stand between you and the Light Divine. May be you will find a real spiritual Master who do not ask money for his teatching, whose mind is wide open and who never judge, or insult, who is able to hear you and help you with his or her compassion, whose life is simple and spontanous in all circumstances, who is not interested in sex, (this is the main test: sex and money!), who feels what is happening with you even if you are far from he or she and who has the true power to ease your difficulties, because he or she contains all the world in his or her being. The spiritual Master knows that the human beings must be heroes for having the courage to live in this world and we are all searching for perfection in a society manifesting the absolute imperfection. Some of us get the way of virtue, the most difficult one, because it leads often to a magnified egoism and intolerance, and some others get the way of experiences and mistakes, a way full of trials and difficulties but opening our heart to compassion and brotherhood. If you find a spiritual Master, you are a very lucky fellow, but if you do not find one, the better master you could have is yourself, because even if you are not aware of that, everything is in your inner self, all the answers, all the peace, all the knowledge. When you begin your search for answers it is the sign that your soul is emerging of it's deep sleep and you will receive all the help you need. Sometimes it take a little time but be sure that you are never alone anymore. You can begin this quest now in front of your computer practising what is called meditation, and you can do it everywhere when you get used to doing it. Here are some advices but very quickly you will find your own way. put in relaxatio your body, all the muscles of your body, and also your mind. If the muscles of your body are relaxed your mind will follow, if your mind is quiet first, then your body will be quiet too. The two entities are strongly connected together. You can help yourself looking on this mooving icon replacing the classical candle, it is putting your mind in alpha waves. Many people are using this help to quiet their mind. Just stop thinking about your problems, your projects, your home, your family or your next delightfull pizza. Feel that you are open to something above your head, a wide space, a light or a blue sky and your thoughts are like birds flying in a very quiet sky and living no trace, no disturbance. You are the quiet blue sky and your thoughts are birds flying far away from you. You can stop the meditation when you decide it and it does not matter the time you spent in. The most important is that you got some peace and quietness because you will discover later that the knowledge and the wisdom and many other things , (or may be you have discovered all this just now!) are coming in a quiet and open mind and heart. How would you put something in a container if it's full of stuff like thoughts, anxieties and desires? That's all folks and good luck to all of you.

Mother Sri Aurobindo

We are glad to give you a glimse on the most important Indian revolutionary and spiritual Master and philosopher of the twentieth century. His vision and experience of the human evolution broke the wall between humanity and the Divine and gave the hope of a new dawn on the earth. Sri Aurobindo and Mother worked together in Pondicherry on the transformation of the life and matter because death and suffering are not the last words of God, and the realisation of the new world is going on Now. In 1946 Sri Aurobindo was saying to one of his disciple: I know that this is a time of trouble for you and everybody. It is so for the whole world. Confusion, trouble, disorder and upset everywhere is the general state of things. The better things that are to come are preparing or growing under a veil and the worse are preheminent everywhere. The one thing is to hold on and hold out till the hour of light has come." That is the exact situation now. But in truth, it has dramatically changed after near a half of century of the new mankind evolution, after the turning point of 1956. The violence and individual agressivity is worser than ever. The deshonesty and lies are a general behaviour, but we can see that everybody, every state, every political leader show their real face. Fifty years ago It was the time of social hypocrisy and 'petit bourgeois' morality. We can not any more hide our problems, our violence, our avidity because we are now in the time of revelation, the hour of truth.

We invite you to enjoy our page about art in therapy You can appreciate a collection of amazing beatiful works done by people under medication and considered ill by our society. Very often these people get a deep psychological trauma in their past but their works are often representative of their inner self full of hope and light.

Bagdad Saraswati This one who helps the leader of the men with the spirit of the Tao must not conquer the empire by weapons. Whatever you are doing to the men, they give you a return back. Whetever the troops stay, one see thorns and brambles. After important wars there is necessarily years of scarcity. The rigtheous man strikes a decisive blow and then stops. He does not dare to conquer the empire by the force of weapons. He strikes a decisive blow and does not pride himself on. He strikes a decisive blow and does not glorify himself. He strikes a decisive blow and takes no pride of that. He strikes a decisive blow and fights only by necessity. He strikes a decisive blow and does not want to appear strong. (Lao-Tseu)
