Social Consciousness

Pour quelles raisons l'intelligence peut-elle conduire à l'idiotie ? Il arrive en effet que des personnes brillantes ou cultivées paraissent parfois stupides ou agissent de manière inepte : en recherchant l'inouï, la performance et la perfection ; en voulant tout comprendre et avoir raison ; en modelant le réel à leur convenance. Affirmer son intelligence au détriment de l'intelligence elle-même : c'est à ce paradoxe que cet ouvrage s'attache, partant du principe que le génie académique ne garantit pas nécessairement la sagesse ni l'ingéniosité dans la vie quotidienne.

Avec ses racines, son fût et ses branchages, l'arbre relie le ciel, la terre et le monde souterrain. Symbole parfait puisqu'il réunit tous les niveaux du réel, il lie la matière et l'esprit, l'inconscient et le conscient, le réel et le rêve. Synthèse du monde, l'arbre incarne la vie inépuisable, la réalité absolue, le sacré par excellence. Comme la poésie, le langage symbolique crée une passerelle vers les idées les plus puissantes grâce à l'imagination. Loin de la simple rêverie, la voie symbolique donne de l'unité et du sens à nos consciences souvent éparpillées.

Was ist die Akasha Chronik und wie kann sie uns in unserem täglichen Leben unterstützen?

" Philosopher, c’est apprendre à mourir " : dans cette maxime de Montaigne, " mourir " est souvent compris comme la fin de notre vie biologique. Pourtant sa portée est plus vaste : mourir est une affaire de chaque instant, une mise en abyme continuelle de soi et de sa pensée, de sa réflexion. Et réfléchir implique de rompre momentanément avec nos schémas habituels, nos routines quotidiennes, nos croyances et nos présupposés. Cet ouvrage montre comment la pratique philosophique nous permet de " devenir nous-mêmes", en nous écartant de l’immédiateté, en cessant – un temps – de vivre.

Philosophy, Socrates declared, is the art of dying. This book underscores that it is also the art of learning to live and share the earth with those who have come before us. Burial, with its surrounding rituals, is the most ancient documented cultural-symbolic practice: all humans have developed techniques of caring for and communicating with the dead.
