Introduction

I lost consciousness once and I remember that people were busy around me. This statement is contradictory to say the least! Yet it is the experience that almost every person has who has this type of experience following an accident of any kind, the so-called near death experience (NDE).

In my case I was barely seven years old and I was under a car from which I got up and from where I walked home some 60 meters away, with the broken femur, repeating over and over again. who wanted to hear me: my leg! my leg! I finally collapsed.

I was not then clinically dead or at least I imagine. Still, I was witness to a hubbub around me. This event undoubtedly triggered the idea of ​​"life after death" and of a long and slow journey, a suave quest for the meaning to be given to this observation. I hardly ever told anyone about it because I didn't make a big deal out of it and at least one person I knew was totally an atheist and materialist described to me an even more explicit scenario than mine that he had experienced in a serious car accident where in addition to his own life he almost lost those of his wife and children.

It is only now that it comes back to me at the untimely end of a night's sleep that actually ended with this surprise. It must be said that I have all my time for such an impression to sow in me the idea of ​​thinking about it barely awake.

It is not nothing to have all this time because it is perhaps the realization of a key moment in my existence. I always feel like I've never been quite in my body, to the point of finding what is called life often downright absurd, to the point where I've basically always been rebellious, unable to fully function. as was required of me, as much as of my peers. And this is perhaps my great misfortune because I have always been flabbergasted by the ability of others to comply with what is required of them.

The fundamental question has always been more or less this: what is the point of all this? I do not think I am very original with this type of questioning but most people do not especially want to ask it and those who ask themselves often end up putting an end to their life or sometimes fall into fanaticism. So how did I get through the pitfalls of this absurd life? Well, precisely because I found my answers. In fact, they were given to me like a mother bird give food to its chicks, as my mother would have said. I was sort of extremely lucky because just eight years after that car accident, I was being taught most of what I needed to know, like a seed. It's up to me to make it fruitful.

I even rebelled against this revelation, this apprenticeship and it took me almost 50 years to come to terms with it, that is to say accept it. All my progress during these 50 years will have served to test in every way what I learned from this auto mechanics teacher who the previous year had kicked me out of his course several times because I despised him and disturbed his classroom. This is to say to what extent we are sometimes wrong.

I come from a so-called Catholic background and unlike my sister who the previous year frightened me with her training in cathechism, I was part of the first post-Vatican II cohort, the one that was going to move from cathechism to cathechesis. At the time I was so enthusiastic about Church and religion that I became an altar boy! It must be said that my father also served me as a model because he was involved up to his neck in the workings of the parish, to the point of being the project manager of the construction of a new church for our parish of The Good Shepherd, the aptly named. The culmination of my involvement was undoubtedly the mass dedicated to the fiftieth wedding anniversary of my grandparents where obviously then ten years old, I was assistant to the parish priest, a parish priest whom I admired, like an affable and stout father with a deep and gentle voice. However, I gradually lost my interest in religious matters and eventually moved on to other activities. 

This rite of passage is however not trivial and it is with hindsight that I realize what this period was like. When I was eight or nine I was allowed to leave home to go and serve mass. The church was about ¾ of a mile from my house. Then I would just come home soon after. I was made responsible and I took responsibility without knowing it. This notion of responsibility would not have occurred to me. It was quite natural, like a small animal that must learn to live in its environment. It didn't occur to me that I had to be responsible. It's innate. But that's what we humans say socially: empower ourselves. Besides, seeing parents today accompany their children everywhere, I wonder to what extent the notion of accountability would not have lost some of its meaning. So much protection.

I'm more of the technician type and my questioning is always one of the purposes: what's the point? This is the case with the meaning of existence: what is it for? Because seeing my entourage gesticulate, I can only ask myself all the time, what is the point? Humans are utterly hopeless. I still haven't figured out why most of them do what they do. I'm not going to dwell on that. It has little interest. It's not something I want to understand after 50 years. Obviously I understand that very well. I know everything there is to know about the functioning of the human species at the beginning of the 21st century. This is why it is not very interesting, even boring in the end. Childish. And It is thanks to a great serenity that I can moreover overcome all the heap of everyday absurdities which I witness helplessly. In this I am no better than anyone. "There's nothing we can do about it".

Back on topic. This early experience of awareness of existence outside the body served as a stepping stone for my subsequent existence. Well, I didn't jump very high. I mostly hovered. Besides, I had a friend at one time called Justin Plané. Just in Plane. Most of my life I have been doing it. I did what I was asked to do. Without much conviction. I had to exist like everyone else. In this I have no originality. I do not try to distinguish myself as a great scientist. What I know, what I perceive is a slow process. And if I were to charge a fee for this apprenticeship, it would be in the order of a million dollars an hour. After all there is 50 years of research behind it.

In leaving, let's say that I'm not too interested in the reflections of a certain Richard Dawkins for whom all the evolution is only the simple fruit of chance. In this he and the neo-Darwinians are laughable. They have made a hypothesis about which they have no proof. It doesn't hold. I am resolutely closer to Anne Dambricourt, paleoanthropologist at the Museum of Natural History in Paris. It was through a radio interview that I discovered her a little over 20 years ago and what she said will serve as a basis for explaining what I have learned in parallel. Her research is the keystone, a beginning of scientific understanding of what is the evolution of life and of the different species.We can't limit ourselves to that, but scientific advances in many areas should use her research to establish a better understanding of how the whole works. I had the pleasure of spending almost a week with her a mere six months after this radio interview 3000 miles away.

I have an analysis grid, an analysis grid, let's say cosmic for short, and everything must be gauged against this grid otherwise it does not work. As I wrote above, I am a technician and the notions of spirituality, religion, science are an integral part of my approach. There is no incompatibility between notions of spirituality and notions of science. There is complementarity. I am pushing the envelope to say that everyone is right and that no one is entirely right. We must show intellectual humility in all areas which is not I might say the turf of individuals who flounder in various affirmative and presumptuous ways in this world. 

I don't claim to have the whole truth at all, only the truth, nothing but the truth! This is my vision based on this original knowledge, followed by study, research, observation and reflections on human beings through anthropology, other social, spiritual themes, etc., as well as other aspects of life through what we call the natural world. This acquired knowledge is in a way the other end of the telescope: how does it work from the point of view of the Other Side and not that of the material world. Things take a whole different perspective. This is for you to gauge the plausibility of what I am putting forward.

These words are not scientific as such of course, except that I will always try to maintain a basis of rationality in my explanations. They also cannot claim to be 'scientific' in the sense that they cannot be proven at this time or that everything I write can be scientifically verified as such. However, if we consider many scientific fields we can consider the speculative nature of science. New knowledge comes to alter what we believed to be final and to open the limits of what we call "scientific truth". Quantum physics, for example, makes assumptions that are increasingly inaccessible to the layman that challenge scientific certainties that were previously consideredthen like truths. Very little is scientifically sure now. So it should be as well with Darwinism and evolution of species as dictated by this approach. It makes no sense and nothing of it can't be proven and has never been.

This blog is dedicated to all people who want to 'think outside the box' and to those who are looking for sensitive explanations of our presence in this world.

PS If I choose to introduce as the search keywords "suicidal tendency" and "suicide", it is only to try to reach those who are at this stage of their life. The purpose here is to help you understand that your situation or mine or that of anyone else is a construct of the mind that needs to be examined and revised. Suicide will only bring you back here, exactly where you left off ... It is essential that you work on your journey differently. This blog will try to help you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Where do we start?

Where do we start? I guess it can be said that we can start from anywhere, for everything is linked and must make sense overall.

The universe has many dimensions. We live here on Earth in one or two or three of those dimensions: plane, surface and volume. But that doesn't say much and we all know about those three dimensions. They also exists in other levels. So we can't count them so much as "dimensions". We thus live in the material world. We also live in other dimensions/planes most of us can't see while living in this material world, only feel. Anything we do here is "copied" at least in one other dimension/plane. In fact in all other dimensions/planes. We can't get away with whatever is happening to us down here whether of our own making or imposed upon us as it is the case with the other dimensions. We are quite responsible for what is happening to us. Why can't we see those other dimensions? For some reasons, among them to not influence our current situation.

Although we have our free will it does come not only with liberty but also responsibility. We can't get away with anything. It's copied elsewhere. So eventually we will have to answer for our behaviour out here or on any dimensions for that matter. How? Well not as 'punishments' or 'sins' but as infractions with sanctions that are consequencials to our deeds... whether "good" or "bad" and we can't escape from them. I will discuss about those aspects later on because the subject matter is vast! Let's say for now that the notion of "karma" is partially what it is about.

Our lives "down here" have some interesting aspects that we don't find as such in other dimensions... The material world makes converge all types of people. Our mandate has always been to make this place a... paradise. We have missed the point for sure. This interaction of all genres of people helps us determined where we fit in. On other plans we won't find ourselves with either the most illuminated mixed with the most criminals and everything in-between. Only here. And on other plans or dimensions we do not choose personally that we belong to one or the other. It is our level of "behaviour" that determines where we should be. We have no say as such in that regard. Our free will all along makes us be where we are at. If we want to be in the most etheral, pure, peaceful, etc. places we have to act in order to reach those areas. Otherwise we get stuck in where we are as long as we do not consciously wish to move on. In some instances it can take the equivalent of hundreds of earth years before we realize this and wish to move on because we think where we are is where we should be. It's a construct, a personal one. And we get along well with our fellows in where we are because we fit it. Not unlike what is going on down here, except that we are not evolving much by staying in one level for hundreds of years... Furthermore, we must move on at one point or the other because everything in the universe IS movement. If we do not wish to move on we will lose the right of being. It seems contradictory that we have no choice and that we do. More explanations about that later because it is another vast subject!

Nothing is new in what I advance here. Everything or almost everything I am going to write has already been said or written by the prophets of the past, whether he is called Lao Tseu, Mohamed, Jesus, Siddharta Gautama (Buddha), Moses, Zarathustra, etc. I only intend to be straightforward. It wants to be a guide. Many aspects of what I will write can be found in all the scriptures, dialogs, etc. Some of what I will write will just all of a sudden makes sense. I have a responsibility towards you here. I am not going to discuss things or advance ideas that I am uncertain about without letting you know. In fact, there are many aspects that I still struggle with. So you have to make your own decision concerning what I propose. As I wrote it is my perspective of things so far, after more than 40 years searching for plausible answers. I am just sharing for what it's worth. For me it is worth a lot! It is logical and plausible. For the last 40 years I encountered quite fluffy stuff and people that did not register on my scale... You are allowed to be skeptical ! I am a no nonsense guy.

Science vs intelligent design

Some people believe everything that exists in the universe has been combined by chance. With a little effort of the mind we could prove the contrary. Just imagining the odds of this happening by chance are immensely difficult to grab. "Why on earth" all this should have combined to form what is? 

Scientific endeavor has apparently the ultimate goal of proving there is no "intelligent design". I could argue there is an intelligent design behind all this and science is just proving it day after day... My reasoning has nothing to do with 'creationism', a theory that uses the bible to interpret the evolution and this history of the known universe to the point of declaring the universe is... 6000 years old which is nonsense.

I am very interested in scientific research and read constantly about it as much as possible because it is interesting as such. Furthermore I have my grid of analysis and put to test scientific discoveries through that "spiritual" grid to see if it stands the road. I might sometimes be more skeptical than convinced by the scientific world. The ends of science become blurred by greed and the cost for animals, plants and humans are immensely damaging, way more than doing nothing at some point. To the point of destroying, of self-destruction I might add. It is the very refusal of accepting the wonder of what is there and that it is a gift that is the very difficulty here.

For that reason I have more respect for North American Indians spirituality than science because there is a profound respect of the natural world by the Natives whereas science has none. It doesn't care about respecting the natural world. It wants to dominate it. To understand it and work with it should suffice. No, science and the people behind it want to not only master it but change it to fit its needs which in the end seem to have little to do with life itself. This is an important issue. Not the most important because there are many important issues. It all comes in the end to the "why the hell are we here for"? If it were to destroy everything, science would have proven its point. We are getting there and quickly. The problem is that no one has to power to stop this nonsense. 

Where is your God and why does "he" allow this? By this I mean the extermination of whole ethnic or cultural groups, the hydrogen bomb, the GMOs, etc. Of course I have no answer to this one. Why indeed. This destruction happening right now is very stressful for many, including me and one can wonder why there is no "intervention" to stop it!

The problem is that our perspective is limited to what we see. When we discovered through a microscope that there were a whole world in a drop of water we opened a window and a new perspective on our world and it didn't stop there. As such these discoveries and new knowledge are fascinating. They should have forced us to some respect towards what's there to discover, that it is way more complex than we first thought. And it is a good thing to consider the world being more than what we see with the naked eye. We have to change our perspective. But how?

The material world is a piece of rock. Literally. Everything is rock. By that I mean when the gases in the cosmos stop being gases, get cold, it is to form planets, etc. and on those planets things happen. Ours among all that is there is quite peculiar and it is certainly not the only one being so, that is having life cycles like no other nearby. Yet what is happening in the material world is only a little tiny fraction of the rest that we don't see with our naked eyes, with a telescope or a microscope, etc. There are matrix behind all this and it has not much to do with the movie series by the way, except for the idea of matrix.

Everything we see or don't has a matrix or an archetype in other dimensions of the universe we don't see. For some reasons dinosaurs are not with us any longer but they still exist in other plans of  the universe because there is a matrix of the dinosaur or of everything else. Why aren't they here any longer is part of a process of "evolution" but it does not work so much as the one defined by Darwin. It is more complicated than that.

What is missing in Darwin's perspective and that is central is the very existence of matrix behing all species. It is the combination of elements that makes a species appears and disappear on this planet. Since there are matrix it is not only an evolution through attrition, it is the replacement of a matrix by another. How this does happen?

What we know about genetics is very partial but it is that code among other things that is used as a form of transfer from other plans to this plan. The rest is a conversion of energy from one aspect to another. I do not know the recipe... It would be such a tremendous step to know about this conversion. I think it is better that it stays unknown as long as possible, in view of the human capacity to operate through greed. I can only imagine the exploitation such a knowledge would give to some.

So-called "primitive" people have access to it though and a good way to just barely realise and see partially the working of the existence on other plans of any being has been through drugs and trance. What shamanism and other means allow though is only to see a copy of a copy of a copy of the original matrix and its many guises and actions. In the material world most of the time one can only see the next level of what is going on in the universe. We can't pierce through plans much further than this, except to realise how fascinating it is already on the next plan. So to say we are blind is an euphemism. In fact people in sciences are so pretentious with their little knowledge that it is laughable. People in science should be way more humble because what they know is only happening here. 

Furthermore life on earth is extremely fragile. We are a like a bunch of teenagers hanging out in back lanes, kicking cans and making troubles to the neighbours. Most everything we do and have done for the last two centuries, especially in the XXth century has been a great enterprise of destruction at best. We are totally disconnected from our spiritual mandate and work exclusively with the material one which is exactly what we shouldn't have done.

Life on earth is very fragile and to get a copy of a copy of a copy of the matrix down here required and incredible lot of effort. We could say life is a combination of 0 and 1, but the ADN among other things doesn't work that way. We are not a combination of 0 and 1. To play with chemicals like we do without knowing what we are doing is having an effect on every living and even non living things. We are destroying the very playground on which we stand. That was not our mandate.

Love, karma, energy

The best way to grow spiritually is through... love! Not necessarily love for one person, universal love. This is of course easier said than done. We are raised to mistrust. To love is not something "fluffy". Yet through love you will eventually feel "lighter".

The best way to express love is not to try to embrace the world but through your deeds. It has to do with compassion towards one another, that is helping others in any way possible. We only have to sincerely do as much as we can in a given circumstance.

It could only be holding the door to the next person! In that sense nowadays automatic door are taking away a simple gesture of courtesy! It might be convenient but it doesn't put into perspective your "precious" time. How long does it take in one's life to hold the door to the next person? That goes for any simple gesture. Are we so cheap as to not have the time to hold a door? It takes one or two seconds of one's "precious" time. We have to show humanity towards each other, individuals being on a journey down here as we are.

There is something karmic about simple gestures. Every time you do one simple gesture you partly redeem whatever bad karma you've accumulated, not unlike Air Miles™ :) This goes the other way as well. If you are doing things harmful to you or others, it's recorded somewhere, not the NSA... Our goal is to spiritually grow.

I understand pretty well that this seems far-fetched. I can't prove that in a test tube in a lab. Even though I can't prove it, it won't hurt me if I hold the door to the next person. Do to others what you would like others do for you. And don't calculate all the time. It won't work if you do things to redeem whatever it is you feel requires some expiation. The gestures that counts are the ones done with spontaneity, not through calculation.

Whatever we do or say creates energy. We determine what type of energy we want to make use of in our life. If you feel good about the gesture you just did it is a kind of energy that is used for you and for others.

Energy equals vibrations or frequencies or pulses, not unlike the frequency to distribute electricity to a house which in most countries is either 50 or 60 Hertz.or cycles or pulses per second. We could talk about radio frequencies which are also vibrations or pulses per second. The whole universe is made up of frequencies. That's the way the energy is transmitted in any world. Nikola Tesla invented a device to listen to the universe, called the teslascope. But it can go so far as the known universe. Same for radiotelescope that are listening to all sorts of frequencies emitted by all sorts of objects in the the material universe.

Anyone of us uses frequencies as well. When we say to someone "you got good vibes" we only recognize this. You can feel one person's frequencies and you may or may not feel comfortable with theirs compared to yours and vice versa. You feel a warmth next to this person or you are feeling a repulsion.

Languages are also using frequencies or vibration. The way we use our languages is building us as persons but also as communities. We are responsible for the way we use those frequencies. They determine a path. It is political. We choose to be either peaceful, engaging and cooperative or we choose otherwise. We then have to understand the consequences of our choice.

Good vibes attracts good vibes and bad ones attracks bad ones. Some people may be powerful in the material world but they might not be so powerful on the Other Side. It all depends on the way ones uses the energy. It's no brainer. In the other world if you even try to be powerful you'll be quickly put in your place by the forces out there, that is you might be powerful but to a very very low level, next to this material world. Further you climb the spiritual latter, less you are powerful because it doesn't exist as such on higher plans because relations are made of exchange, cooperation... and love.

Group of affinities and personal progression

To some extent things are no so different on the Other Side as here. Why should they be so weirdly different?

On the Other Side people form communities if they wish so. Like down here. People regroup by affinities according to their levels of "spirituality". Every way of the steps towards what we could call "enlightenment", one finds groups of affinities.

For example, if one is a flute player and plays with others there are flute players on the Other Side which you can join, always according to your level of spirituality. Your personal evolution determines that you can be with other flute players who have the same level of evolution as yours.

Same goes for any activity, except that some disappear as you climb up the ladder of spirituality. If you wish to stay a criminal, a gambler or whatever is of low level, you can. But then you won't be very high in the ladder. And you face the possibility of being annihilated...

The level of spirituality is in no way determined by wealth. Your notoriety as a drug dealer or a phlanthropist is irrelevant. It is the sum of your deeds that determines you level of spirituality. If on one hand you gave millions of dollars to arts but on the other hands unjustifiably exploited your workers, you are not to expect to be treated with deference. 

In fact some of your former workers might be way up in the spiritual scale compared to you and it might stay that way for a long long time. It is not a matter of revenge, only of spiritual levels. This is just an example. It serves the purpose of explaining how things work on the Other Side. After all it's a practical guide. No frills. If you wish to be rubbed in the right way or if you are looking for an ego-booster, there are literally hundred of books out there that will do so to please you.

Thoughts, deeds, energy centres and reciprocity

As I wrote earlier, whatever we think or do is being documented in the cosmos, the universe. We can't get away from that. It is thus our responsibility each of us to think and do things properly if we want to evolve spiritually. This is the wisdom that many prophets have told us throughout history.

Furthermore, as we think or do something we simultaneously feed energy centres These energy centres are "made" of all the thought or deeds that are alike. Positive ones with positive ones, negative ones with negative ones. There are probably millions of those energy centres, but they are not buildings. They are in a way virtual powerhouses that we build ourselves with our thoughts and actions. They cease to exist if no one is feeding them. But, that's like wishful thinking...

In any case as we think or do something we feed them according to its category. It's done automatically by attraction of affinities. Not only though do we feed them without our knowledge but the accumulation of all the thoughts and deeds that are gatering in those energy centres feed us back at a tremendous strength. It is thus essential to understand this because if one thinks about hatred for instance, energy centres dealing with hatred will feed one back! So it gets really damaging for you and your surrounding.

It is thus way better to think and do things that are positive in order to be fed back by positive energies. It is also essential to realize that in any case (positive or negative) this triggers vibrations/frequencies that are either good or bad to your own physical and mental health. Some disease are the pure results of that. On the scale of the planet it has consequences too. If millions and millions of people think of hatred it activates negative vibrations/frequencies  The planet itself suffers from this. At this point it has altered its course in the known universe. I can't prove it. Someone in the know wrote so and it is not far-fetched because when I was initiated and started my journey of research I made a point of being able to open my mind and my perspective on the world to embrace the workings of the universe as a whole. So this alteration of planet Earth's course in the universe does not make me laugh. To the contrary.

Black holes are stars composters. This course alteration is significant except that we won't get composted tomorrow... It only means that to some extend the planet is aging faster than it should, due to the sorts of activities and thoughts we generate. We are simply becoming a big piece of garbage. Most of the things we do on this planet right now are equivalent to garbage. 

We are not at all in sync with the rest of the universe and this planet and everything on it will have to go though a process of composting. When? I don't know. It doesn't matter as such to know the date because it won't change the process we triggered with our attitude as a species. If by now we haven't realized the damage we're doing, we will never. 

Reincarnation and its role

As explained earlier (All in the family) a person on the Other Side has or wants to come back in the material world, say for instance on Earth. I don't know if there are other planets where this person could end up. All I know is that the possibility exists considering the number of planets in the material universe where life could strives. Exoplanets are now one of the most interesting research area in astronomy.

Very few people who are down here are so for the first time. Most of us have been here many many times already in different shapes, sex, conditions. In one life you could be a king and the next you'll be a servant. It all depends on your spiritual evolution. Your daughter could have been your wife or your mother. You may also meet for the first time which is rare. In fact we often end up being with people we have dealt many times with already.

In many instances, even if in this life you move from one country to the other, chances are you will meet people over there that you already had known in different lives. Sometimes you may think by moving you are "escaping" but you're just moving your body. The rest of your history always follows you. When one chooses another country to go to live it is either by necessity or by choice but it often happen to be a place where you may not know you may have already lived in a different life. Each person's circumstances are different. I explained an overall process. I can't get into your own pedigree. You may feel all this on your own because there are all sorts of things happening that makes you wonder.

We are here to evolve spiritually and we put into the conditions that will favor this evolution. You have to become aware of this and act accordingly. It's your free will, your life. Everything one does or even thinks has an impact on its life and the ones of its surroundings. So if one doesn't evolve more this time around and start to understand the purpose of its presence down here, well it's like doubling a class. This person will have to come back again until this person digs it. Read everything that I wrote before so it will be more understandable.

Revolution & Spirituality

The spiritual revolution starts between our two ears. Nowhere else. We have first to establish what type of revolution and what type of society we want to live in. Not in groups at first. Between the ears. There are things to solve which are not easy.

Most revolution have failed on the long run because they were not established on solid grounds. It is not necessary at all to take up arms to build a revolution. And if one is talking about a spiritual revolution, arms of any kind are strictkly prohibited, otherwise it is anything but a spiritual revolution which can only be achieved by like-minded people. No need either to demonstrate in the streets. It is in silence a spiritual revolution must happen first. To build a collective that lasts the rules must be the same for every participant. The rules for a spiritual revolution are very simple. So simple in fact that so far they've been the hardest to follow for a few thousands years or some hundreds of generations. Sadly there are not much followed. Courthouses are filled with people not following the rules and lawyers are ever busy streamlining the process.

In the end it is useless to try to change coercively others' viewpoints or behaviours. It ain't workin' and it's not the way a spiritual revolution ought to work. For the better or the worse I might add. One has to be a model. That is all there it because the rewards of a spiritual revolution don't come through like Air Miles of financial benefits (though they could). The rewards are from other dimensions, readily available here in the material world and throughout the known and unknown universe.

I know it feels almost frustrating but we are so much conditioned by what capitalism and the industrial revolution has brought that we can't think straight anymore because we want our rewards even before we've started working on ourselves.

This society is based on fulfilling needs. And there are literarally thousands of artificial needs to fulfill. We have to think in terms of scarcity, not in terms of abundance. This is obviously "unAmerican". I am not here to rub your ego. I am here to tell you something different. If one is frustrated because one has no car one should start thinking about that. I am 57 and have had no cars in my life. I lived in many cities and even in the countryside from 2005 to 2007 in a real small 8 x 8 feet cabin I built myself with recycled material: cost 5$. I bought one acre of land for it. I had no water no electricity, only an oil lamp and a trek to the river for the water. After the two-year experience I eventually sold the piece of land at the same cost I paid for 10 years before. No speculation. It served its purpose and ended up paying nothing to house myself for two years. In fact I made a profit because I sold it. It's all in the mind.

Life is not about working 9 t0 5 every weekday for 40 years.and then retiring. This is nonsense. I retired slowly from age 19 and did not work full time very long. I wanted to enjoy life and most jobs are far from being an enjoyment unless one is to be resilient with that.

Everything has to change in order to achieve a spiritual revolution. E.V.E.R.Y;T.H.I.N.G. Since I cannot argue with anyone about this, I do it in silence on my own.

In North American terms I am very poor, earning and capping a yearly revenue of about 15 000 $. Yet I live like a millionaire having much free time on my hand every day of the year. That is the way I envisioned my 'retirement' a long time ago after I saw people just retiring at 65 and dying soon afterwards. It's insane. I live in a two-storeys townhouse of more than 1200 sq feet in the city with a great backyard with many kids playing in it after school. My landowner are very nice people and we exchange services and goodies all the time. Those are my rewards.

This is my revolution since I cannot convinced anyone of the true nature of spiritual revolution. Start on yourself. Things will happen. I experimented it. It is in no way wishful thinking. Just remember to thank the Lord (or the Cosmos if you wish so) for the good life you are having. Don't get into useless hassles, be humble and respect others.

Injustice and spirituality

In the material world and specifically here on Earth there is what we call injustice. Much injustice. Apparently. Although it is laudable to work to alleviate the worst of it and create the conditions for a better world, in the end the most important is the spiritual work on oneself.

We all know about the so-called 1%, the super-rich people of this world who have so much that they seem to be drowning in cash. This is obviously unfair and revolting. And few of them 'deserve' what they have. In most cases it has been obtained trough suspicious means that have no spiritual base for sure. The worst thing is to feel envy towards them. As I said it is important to work on social justice but it is not about the 1%. In a way I sometimes think it is good that this situation exists because people are relentless in consuming and wasting time and money on "things". The satisfaction of needs has become an obsession and creates a world of garbage. So at least the fact there is this 1% having it all limits the disaster that cunsumption is having on this very planet, because with the little left for the rest of us, pollution and garbage are piling up like crazy all over the world. The mad dog has to be on leash.

Life is not about money, consumption and work to achieve this cycle. Although it is only fair to live comfortably, the level of comfort we are looking for is fortunately unreachable by the majority of people on this planet. What we call the ecological footprint has its purpose. It shows exactly what I am talking about.

It seems very hard to grab yet if we do not have a sound spiritual base any economical, political, social system won't achieve much and it all start with oneself. Anyone who is stealing other's life will not go far in the spiritual world even though one might live in a castle with 10 cars at the door down here, it just shows the low level of spirituality. It has nothing to do with going to church every Sunday in a Mercedes. This is hypocritical.

It is what you do and think that counts. There are many ways of stealing from others. In today's world real estate speculation has become a real game to gain. It is destroying entire lives and neighbourhoods all over the world. It creates unrest. So are other forms of profiteering such as the stock market speculative nature. Retirement funds are made of these. So to achieve one's own so-called retirement one is stealing from others. The whole financial system is a world of theft. erything has to change to the core. The goals are totally unacceptable at any level of spirituality. I am not saying poverty is the road to high level of spirituality. Fairness is closer to what one can achieve it this life, here and elsewhere in the universe.

The whole history of man has been about conquest and envy. We don't have to be rich or a scholar to know that. Jesus and others have been warning about this for centuries and the message is not heard. Other people are also taking advantage of the ignorance of others by creating churches that are just giving false hope. Most churches are falsely using the scriptures of phophets to gain attention and increase their membership. Their base is to show an easy path towards spiritual achievement.

It took me decades to understand this and from the begining of my adult life I have been restless with the apparent injustice that exists in all manners in this world. Even though I had the opportunity to be 'initiated' at an early age, it took me a long time to accept what I was told as being just. It's amazing because I had to struggle with myself all the time, having a real hard time accepting that this world is the way it is because we make it the way it is. So I've decided to leave it there. To stop complaining about this apparent injustice and work on myself instead because I cannot force others to go my way. Just to try to be the best person I can be and maybe help others if they want it. People who are not asking for help don't need help. It is only fair to ask for it and to not offer free advice if not asked for. It is a pledge and a bet I am having. A pledge and a bet with myself and about what I was told a long time ago as being the way it works.
