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.

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.

Dissembling the I Ching enabled to show that the order of this book, said to be insoluble for more than twenty four centuries, is based on some cosmological diagrams well known... diagrams which, to Jean-Louis Brun, gave the paradigm we find in many myths and legends of all the continents. Now, from a white page and simple principles of traditional thought (the union of the opposed, correlation between earth and sky...) Jean-Louis Brun shows us how the order of the I Ching have been conceived.

There is in the world more than thirty thousand tales... and as Jean Borella says "we don't know where they come from, but one thing is sure, they can take us far away... ! ". The tale is a literary erratic work (which comes from nowhere) and that specificity gives it universality: it teaches us like myths, gnosis or every form of Traditional Knowledge:  "which is forgotten nowadays"..

"To know the spiritual experience of the other" that was the vocation young Louis Massignon, when he was still an agnostic, had when he discovered Sufi Hallaj's life, who had been crucified in 922 in Baghdad. Massignon is in the middle of the colonial period, during the years 1900, and the economic and political interests were drawing the attention of everyone. Indeed, at that time, there were few western people who really tried to penetrate "the spirituality of the other": Islam. Massignon was one of them.

"In the current Promethean drift, it is important to listen to the Grandmother's voice! " says Marie-Laure Colonna. Indeed, since the 17th century, the development of rationality provoked the exclusion, or even the questioning of the existence of the soul. When we talk about the notion of soul, we generally place it on an personal level, attached to someone in particular.  However there is a collective soul that Plato, in Timaeus, called "the world soul",

The I Ching, founding book of the traditional Chinese thought, is a strange document: it is a kind of "dictionary in disorder" It was supposed to be created for divination, it had to be in a logical order to enable the instant access to "hexagrams" of which it is composed. But that is not the case: for at least twenty-four centuries, the same "disorder" remained, as constant as inexplicable. Could we imagine that the Chinese, a pragmatic people, complicated the thing without a reason ?

Writer, essayist and professor, the life and work of Jean Biès are marked by an insatiable spiritual search.  His books are "keys of life" to accept the modern world, a world without soul where the Diabolum (which divides) to take precedence over Symbolum (which unites). To Jean Biès, the spiritual wandering we are crossing obliges us to go back to the transcendental unity of all the religions and to discover again the eternal truths that all the genuine traditions share.
