The Man of Understanding

The First Evolutionary Boot Camp

Now we have a place and a date for our first Evolutionary Boot Camp 2016. I look forward to sharing this great adventure together!

Evolve the We, Evolve the I

14 minutes to talk about our inner evolution in a world where everyone talks mostly about technology and external change.

Quantum Vinaigrette

Physics and mysticism work like oil and vinegar, you have to shake them hard together to make a decent vinaigrette. Do we need vinaigrette to season our life? Does quantum physics explain consciousness?

Sex, Sex, Sex

As a licensed explorer of life (certified by myself :mrgreen: ), I could not not explore love. Love liberated from its imposed forms from the past that don't work anymore. How can I love today? What can I invent? How can I reinvent myself in order to build harmonious, free, erotic and ecstatic relationships in the celebration of body, mind and spirit?

Foreplay to love

I want to begin this series of articles with preliminaries (or foreplay I may say) about love. Love, such a big and small word! What follows comes from direct experience acquired along the years.

The Lunar Man

The amorous accomplishment can begin only after the inner couple has accomplished its marriage, once our masculine and feminine, our Shiva and Shakti, our Yang and Yin live, vibrate and celebrate fully in our psyche. Freed from the drives of need and compensation, the accomplished self becomes androgynous.

How I Became Useless

Does this title looks like a failure assessment? Not for me. Some years ago, I made the conscious decision I would become useless. Completely useless.

Pioneering Humanity – A Conference in India

Bruno Marion Brings Chaos in our Lives

The title of this article suggests we should hate this guy. But you know what? I love him as one of these rare friends one has in a lifetime. And I do love that he brings chaos into our lives. Indeed, Bruno has become one to the greatest experts on this new science, the chaos theory, as we name it.

Dreaming my Next Home

Time has come to share my dream about the next place to live. As you know my experiential life has lead me to live in the gift economy. I dream this site manifesting as a gift. Not to possess it but to live in it and honor it. A gift that will allow me to continue my journey, my research work, CIRI's development, writing...

One Breath Away from Evolving?

We speak a lot about human evolution on the technical plane, shaped by a materialistic vision of reality. There comes one of the signatures of pyramidal collective intelligence in which we see and understand the world only through mental dualism. Social genetics has become one of my most important discoveries in collective intelligence.

The Great Sense

Here comes below a crucial text from Satprem that a friend of mine from Auroville (thanks Claude!) gave me while I spend a whole month there. I can't resist to share this text in which I see so much force. It resonates with the words I share during my conferences on the evolution of our species. The difference? He wrote it in 1969.
