Aspiration seems to have fallen asleep: are we rejected, or deemed inapt, or too little sincere?

But it is actually that the other front of the action takes place in our instrumental nature.

Without us being able to discern the use of any particular method, a work is constantly taking place in our physical, vital, emotional and mental consciousness: a work of influence and permeation of which we only become aware through its results.

Our comprehension is indeed evolving and changing perspective.

Opinions fall undone, notions never verified are dismantled, habits of emotional response suddenly appear as so many pointless defenses and we are faced with the puissance of conditioning and the enormity of the subconscious baggage in most of our behavior and inclinations.

We observe that more than a reversal or a revolution has occurred in us: we exist differently.

The three dimensions of the physical consciousness shut in between birth and death – two absences, two nothingnesses, two mysteries – do not command our perception any longer: we are no longer riveted to a point in space-time.

Everything, in our human physical life, has now another value.

Almost insensibly, we draw from a sort of inner knowledge which we did not know we possessed – which we still do not possess but to which we are uniting, or can unite, or which has become fundamental to us.

And the generally shared conception, to which one had more or less happily subscribed up until then, appears now as absurdly and terribly insufficient.
