Throughout our lives, it sometimes happens that spirituality becomes a topic of conversation. Rare are these privileged moments when we dare to touch the ineffable essence. Discussing spirituality is a delicate art where each word is a tightrope walker, sliding on the fragile thread of metaphor. As for me, I dance on it with difficulty. Not that I dislike the exercise, but do we know how to convey in a word, a sentence, ideas that embrace infinity and the absolute?
It's a complex undertaking to clothe the invisible in words and animate silence, especially as we quickly realize that none of us speaks the same language. But I'm not giving up on this dialogue, because every word spoken becomes a precious stone for each of us to add to our collective treasury of wisdom.
That's why I decided to write this book. I do so in the hope that, by putting my philosophical constructs down on paper, I'll find a way of clarify my concepts. In this way, I hope to make future discussions more fluid, richer and more exciting.
This book has no higher ambition. It doesn't aim to reinvent the genre or offer anything beyond what I consider to be real. Beneath the widely accepted fantasies, spirituality remains an undeniable reality. There is indeed something that transcends matter. But I will return to this obvious point in due course.
This essay is primarily a pedagogical work, attempting to express in simple terms what I believe to be accurate and concrete concepts. Normally, the biggest problem for me has always been to wade through mountains of elaborate fantasies of all kinds. These dreams, buried in the collective unconscious, are propagated by tradition or by what we call books, but it remains an arduous task for all of us to abandon these dreams in order to embrace reality.
Nor do I claim to be the exclusive possessor of new knowledge or sensational discoveries. Almost all the ideas and considerations I will develop in the following pages have been expressed with talent and ingenuity by countless writers, thinkers, and researchers.
So what's the point of continuing this exploration? Well, the main point is to offer a fresh perspective, a compelling insight that sheds light on some overlooked or neglected aspects of these ideas. My goal is to give these familiar themes an original and distinctive color, inviting readers to rediscover and appreciate them in a new light.
I'm also convinced that clarifying and simplifying complex ideas is a valuable contribution to the philosophical and spiritual conversation. Too many nebulous stories and myths have created a confusing and muddled landscape, obscuring vision and sometimes leading to extreme actions that echo with eschatology.
It is my hope that through this process of clarification and simplification, readers will discover not only fascinating new ideas, but also a strong foundation for reflection, dialogue, and a deeper understanding of the mystery of consciousness and the universe that encompasses it.
However, this book does not seek to challenge traditions or beliefs, nor stories, myths and fables, although it does invite you to engage in this confrontation in an honest and constructive dialog for the sake of understanding reality.
Above all, I want to share it with you as a thank-you. Because reality is good, it relieves, it heals, it clarifies visions, approaches, relationships and the world.
My dearest wish is that you will find peace and strength in these lines, but also the joy that dwells in each of us and makes peace.
May these lines accompany you on your personal journey and give you coherent support. And may they help you to rediscover a healthy balance between mind, body and the ineffable.
