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.

 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".. |

Anatole France was surprised - and upset - by the deep indifference that his dog showed when he took him to admire a flowerbed of beautiful fragrant flowers... Do we have to show the same compassion (or desolation) for some of our contemporaries who throughout history erased the symbolical dimension... or metaphysical dimension ? On the occasion of the release of the collective book "Qu’est-ce que la métaphysique" (Ed Harmattan), we gathered with Jean Borella : Bruno Bérard, Catherine Conrad and Bruno Guillemin to clarify this question.

 Do tales enable us to reach a higher level of reality? And what plan are we talking about: are we in presence of a collective unconscious, of mystic, of living intelligence? To answer this question we gathered a quantum physician, Emmanuel Ransford, a science philosopher, Jean Staune, and a specialist in tales: Jean-Pascal Debailleul. The three of them, in their complementary approaches, will join on different ideas.

Every human action is in line with one of these three ethics.

 Jean-Pierre Laurant, Jean-Marc Vivenza and Bruno Bérard discuss around this table about symbolic timeless work of René Guénon : "The Crisis of the Modern World", edited in 1927. What is a crisis? From a metehistorical point of view (or individual) is the history of each civilization (or each Man) not a chain of uninterrupted crisis, breaking? What about Adamic fall? Adoption of sedentary lifestyle during the neolithic? Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, the Revolution of 1789? Excessive industrialization during the 19th century and hyper consumption?

 For what reasons Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), an internationally renowned scientist and priest of the company of Jesus was forbidden to publish when he was alive? What dangerous things did contain his writings for his religious hierarchy? Maurice Ernst, after a first part about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin's life, talks about philosophical and religious thought of the author. "Past revealed to me the construction of the future" writes Pierre Teilhard de Chardin. Starting from a reflection and a scientific experience (geology and paleontology), the author gives a coherent vision of universe and of man. His thoughts include their whole story seen from the point of view of evolution and found a new natural history which modifies deeply philosophy, moral and religion.

In the current circumstances, art has become luxury, luxury that most men can't get (...) In the past, art was a principle of knowledge which gave what was necessary to life and which satisfied physical and spiritual needs of man. Complete man created in contemplation and, creating, didn't divided from himself" write AA.K. Coomaraswamy ("Christian and eastern Philosophy of art", 1956). In this 51-minutes, Jean Annestay comes back on the traditional vision of art according to the famous and controversial Indian metaphysician.
