How to call It?

This is no cruising journey: it is a matter of surrendering and self- giving, whatever may be the ordeals, to the labor of transformation. And these ordeals and difficulties are multiple and intense – and pitiless: for they express all that refuses the change, all that wants at any cost to preserve the status quo, all that clings to some form of atavistic identity.

This body is the channel, the duct and the site of divine joy in Matter.

And we keep forgetting it.

Only gratitude in us, when it awakens, remembers it and recovers the experience and realization of the raison d’être of this world – and of the place of the human being in this essential quest.

Yes, we are human and therefore, quite naturally, we are anthropocentric: we project onto the “divine”, or on the highest consciousness, the “Supreme Consciousness” – whatever the terms being used, it is understood that none of them can be adequate – a human semblance. In order to counter or deflect any objection to this “natural” tendency, it was enunciated by some religions that “God created man to His own image”, thus proving that any resemblance was the effect of His choice and traced for us all the only legitimate avenue towards perfection.
