Qualified as "out-of-date physic" by current scientists, the study of the genesis of these four elements which are "Earth, Air, Water, Fire" requires the comprehension of three fundamental questions about the nature of Man, his nature as a reflexion of the cosmos. The word cosmos can be interpreted as synonym of harmony, if Man wishes to live in harmony, he is inevitably to consider the three following questions:

In Western countries, "nobody knows what contains the notion of energy... " regrets Bertrand Vergely. And he advises us: "we have to stifle our mind which reduces the notion of energy to some fluid or an electric current...  Energy is invisible, unmeasurable since it is JUST possibility". But this "JUST" actually forms a "WHOLE" ! Indeed energy constitutes a transformation process which makes that I start from what is possible to reach real, and from real I come back to what is possible: thus energy forms Life.

Memory of man is fragmented sometimes. As the proverb "to err is human…. "the following, less famous since less sympathetic, is: "to persevere is devilish" (Errare humanum est, perseverare diabolicum) and refers to Evil... The 20th century was the most deadly in all the history of mankind. The two major ideologies of this century, and directly responsible for this abomination, are called Nazism and Communism. What common feature do we find in these two totalitarian regimes ? A virulent atheism.

In 1782, Germany recognized in Wilhelmsbad, the freemasonry called "rectified" created by the impulse of Jean-Baptiste Willermoz. The same year the new collection of Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin was published: « The natural Board of links which unite God, man and the universe  ».
They know each other: indeed, seven years before, Louis-Claude de Saint-Martin lived in Lyon in Jean-Baptiste Willermoz's place, to write « Des erreurs et de la vérité, ou les hommes rappelés au principe universel »…

What subtle links bound the philosophical movement to nihilism (a vision of the world which asserts that "If God doesn't exist then everything is permitted" according to Dostoyevsky) in the world of cinema ? To try to answer this question we gathered around Françoise Bonardel, three philosophers keen on cinema: Pacôme Thiellement, Sam Azulys and Thibault Isabel.
First, they will try to define the polysemous word nihilism.

"The psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud gathers young talented men to elaborate his theory about the human spirit. The outstanding Carl Gustav Jung is one of them, he is even the protégé of the master. But soon their relationship, intellectual and personal, deteriorates, and Jung breaks his relation with Freud. It is during that crisis period the Jung will begin his productive trip into the depth of the soul, elaborating his Psychology of the Depths, magnificently represented by his Red Book.

"From the idiot Christian talking to the birds, to the woodcock meaning the fool... the tale of mystic idiocy is written by pecking beaks on the water since the Agape is a river which carries meander the spirit of gift..." says Valérie Deshoulières.

The Faust (I) of Goethe asserted he wanted to discover « Was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält » (what maintains the universe in its intimate cohesion)... That was the ambition of Raymond Abellio (1907-1986) which started with the name Georges Soulès: graduate of the "École Polytechnique" and politician. Then in 1943, discovering the works of René Guénon, and movements linked to Primordial Tradition, he abandoned politics, changes his name for Raymond Abellio and dedicated himself to metaphysics. Between 1943 and 1986, he wrote about twenty novels or essays.

"A picture is better than a long speech" recalls Jacques Halbronn, and he questions: "for what reasons, during the 16th century, in France, while the majority of the population couldn't read nor write, editors censured most of the pictures of prophetic texts which illustrated the Centuries, the Mirabilis Liber, the Vaticinia….  while foreign editions, especially German, had many of these?"

"Often, when we talk about the Prime Principle, about Absolute, or God, according to each one's tradition, we realize we can never define precisely these notions" says Michel Cazenave.  "We found it appropriate to question about the origins and the significance of negative theology (apophatic), that is to say that ideology which implies that of "God we can't say anything" and if we try to define it, it is saying what He is not".
