It will be almost four years since I chose to live in the gift economy (I plunged in 100% in September 2011). Four years, many adventures on seas sometimes
The earliest preoccupation of man in his awakened thoughts and, as it seems, his inevitable and ultimate preoccupation,—for it survives the longest periods of scepticism and returns after every banishment,—is

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?
As a licensed explorer of life (certified by myself ), 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?
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 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.
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.

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.
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...
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.
Bitcoin? As someone working on the vision and technologies of the post-monetary society, people keep asking me what I think about Bitcoin. Well, you know what? Not much. Although Bitcoin

I live in the gift economy since September 2011. I decided to live this way in a world where we need to buy and sell everything, in a culture where the expression "to earn a living" doesn't shock many people. I earned my life through my birth.

In the next 2 weeks of my stay at Auroville, I will facilitate a series of meetings for sharing and building some practical reflection about collective intelligence, wisdom and consciousness.
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.
