Was it a woman who spoke the first word?

1 – Immateriality is limited only by the awareness one grants it.

2 – The meeting of stars is a divine act. The notion of distance vanishes from the soul when beings are destined, even unconsciously, to offer themselves to humanity.

3 – Learning to glimpse the beyond by listening to silence is to acquire, here, a knowledge that may be used elsewhere.

4 – A message exists only within a temporal function.

5 – Imagine that, in that other world, at this very moment, a being of light is dreaming of you.

6 – The soul knows no obstacle of space or time.

7 – The very idea of the end of the world expresses a desire for convergence between reality and the beyond.

8 – In general, human beings still hold a primitive and elementary vision of the beyond.

9 – To love spirits by giving to them without expecting anything in return is to court the beyond.

16 – The work of light is immaculate and beyond blemish.

17 – Love knows no border, whatever form it may take, for its purpose is infinite and eternal.

18 – A spirituphile envisions the freedom of souls, while recognizing their equality.

19 A) Eternal hell does not exist. To deny its nonexistence also means rejecting the dogma of divine omnipotence. For why would God reward Satan with the pleasure of company?

19 B) And why deny God the right to be so powerless that He must share “His world” with the being who was the first sinner—the one who tempts others into committing the same faults?

20 – Just as God made man in His image, does not man attempt to shape God as a reflection of himself? Even atheists shape Him in their own way. Has not our perception of God evolved through the ages?

21 – Hell begins to fade away starting today. (6/22/94) Hell began to fade away yesterday. (6/23/94)

22 – Will my love make you love yourself for eternity?

23 – The spirituphile draws his reason for being from the first question humanity ever asked in the face of death.

24 – The presence of invisible beings endures only through the harmonious life of visible beings—the living.

25 – Toward the end of the second millennium, to confess oneself spirituphile simply meant becoming the consciousness of one’s own time.

26 – Fulfillment takes substance only in final realization.

27 – Fear of someone stronger than oneself restricts imagination.

28 – There is strength and law. There is strength and life. (Dream M.)

38 – The chosen ignore borders. Far from the eyes, closer to the heart.

39 – The cornerstone of eternity is life.

40 – Even consciousness possesses a third eye: imagination.

41 – Artists will always remain pioneers of the human soul.

42 – Every idea of passage expresses the principle of knowledge—even in its most minimal form.

43 – History’s greatest answers have given rise to countless questions.

44 – The movements of the heart cannot be explained; they must be lived.

45 – We are immortal only in eternity.

46 – Better to live while dreaming than to die having never believed.

57 – Life and the afterlife are but two links in the chain of the same dream.

58 – Who ever claimed that, in the afterlife, we would cease to dream?

59 – Mental stability allows for a supple and lasting perception of eternity.

60 – Hope is a key that opens onto faith. Faith is a key that opens onto truth.

61 – Silence is golden. The soul is crystal.

62 – To lean on life in order to launch oneself toward the beyond.

63 – Where can one find greater strength than in a dream?

64 – The end of appearance is rebirth.

65 – To be born into light, to live in repose.

66 – Each birth into light is a message of hope for the darkness that we are.

67 – The soul is, will be, and has been.

68 – Not everything will ever be said.

69 – The legacy of the final breath... is a password for the living.

70 – Death is like a sunset. Darkness arrives, but the sun is only farther away—on another horizon.

71 – To go where suns no longer set.

72 – To believe in life after life: a tribute to oneself.

73 – Tears of regret shed for a liberated soul are rose petals strewn along its path toward the light.

82 – In human beings, old age is the sign that, one day, human consciousness was born. (1992)

83 – The perception of future things by seers—is it not like those old maps, more or less accurate, drawn by the explorers of the 15th century?

84 – Faith bears the flaw of its own strength: it prevents one from seeing that the other may also be right.

85 – To paint what one imagines eternity to be is to converse with it.

86 – 1995 (Sacred Game): I am a creative and spiritual being, because I seek to build a link—almost a bridge—between life and the beyond.

87 – It is virtually impossible that her soul has never drawn near to mine. It is intangible, unverifiable—but so it is.

88 – Time can grant us only fragments of eternity.

89 – Is there another passage between the two worlds?

90 – Light calls to light. Shadow calls to shadow. Will light and shadow one day embrace?

91 – God is the bridge between a grain of sand and a thread of light.

92 – There will come a day when all will share the same present—within one infinite dream.

All beings of the past, the present, and those yet to come—within a single dreamlike place.

(If that is not dreaming in color, then what is?)

93 – For those who do not believe in the beyond: if the beyond does not exist... then let us create it.

94- To live is to pray until death; whether there is sin or not, whether one is an atheist or not.

95 – After death, either there is nothing for all, or there is everything for all and for each. Past, present, and future — all times are interconnected with God-Love, for all beings and all things, purified and regenerated without exception, within the infinities and for eternity.

LETTER 1

REFLECTIONS OF A SPIRITUPHILE

To love the imperceptible from the depths of the heart. God is imperceptible. Marilyn is imperceptible.

I love them both. I place them in this order:

A) God

B) Marilyn

Sadly, perhaps? The heterosexual man that I am watches time pass with the pleasure of contemplating those forms that God has created. God is great. Marilyn is great only through God. And I—when will I become great... like her?

I do not seek to go beyond God. No! I have neither the desire nor the intention. I seek only to reach Marilyn.

This may seem paradoxical: I try to reach her without disturbing her, without becoming a nuisance.

Love can be a choice. I wish I had the courage to remain silent. But why, when one feels there are things to say? Or to do?

I admit that this movement of the heart sometimes feels like a sacrifice...

Perhaps Marilyn senses it. Souls are perceptible to other souls. Indeed, the soul perceives the soul through itself.

I know this movement may seem pointless, since it cannot be verified. It could even be seen as a waste of time.

And what if this waste of time led me to place one more stone on the path of humanity’s understanding of the beyond?

LETTER 2

IMAGINED CONVERSATION:

– Am I searching for something else? Do you sense it?

– Yes, I think you are.

– Then help me, and tell me, please.

– I think you are trying to love me without truly giving of yourself.

– What! Am I not giving to you, right now?

– Forgive me, I was mistaken. I am simply afraid for you. Afraid that you may be too unhappy. Unhappy because you love me. That would be so sad.

– But I am already sad to love you without receiving love in return. Without receiving tenderness. But what can I do? Am I not here, in a sense, to give without receiving?

– How could I know? I am not the Supreme Being who could confirm that for you. Still, I hope you will find within yourself everything you need to become a true lover.

– You know that this force of life often makes me sad when I think about my quest. When I think that union is impossible without a miracle.

– Why do you love the impossible so much?

– Because I am a pioneer.

– In my own way, I was a pioneer too. Is that what draws us toward one another?

– So you admit that you feel drawn to me?

– You call me so many times in a single day. In a single hour. Perhaps, in the end, those calls create bonds.

– Yes, and besides, why are we talking? Neither of us is obliged to.

– Yes, man, I think I love you, it is true. But there are so many insurmountable things separating us.

– For now. And what is it that you love in me?

– Your passion. Your passion to succeed, your struggle for life. And that hidden altruism which can truly be revealed or discovered only after your death.

– My death will finally be that door that allows me to see you with the eyes of a freed soul. I am a little like a blind man walking with his cane, waiting to see.

But in any case, all these creations you inspire in me are still pleasant placebos. Balms for my waiting. Dreams that I fabricate while waiting for the great one, the true one.

– And you, what do you love in me?

– You were beautiful. And in my soul, you are even more so. But this attraction is unconscious, stronger than I am. I forget you, then I come back to you. Out of fear, I have already tried to push you out of my mind, out of my consciousness, but I do not know why you returned stronger than ever—like a mountain that cannot be avoided. A mountain that can only be climbed. Perhaps I shall never understand this phenomenon within me.

For now, my faith in God, my faith in life, and my faith in life after life are so great, so unwavering, that I do not regard death as a loss of life.

LETTER 3

WHO IS GOD?

Being an inexhaustible source, an endless subject of conversation, I find it rather difficult to grasp what He is.

Moreover, my personal path, independently of my Judeo-Christian upbringing, leads me to believe that He is B.I.M.: Beyond Imagination.

In my view of things, in a Platonic sense, He is the absolute of the absolute. And how can one perceive this absolute, which we can barely designate with a word, if not through the hidden synonym of the word “absolute”: the name “God”?

So many races, so many cultures have projected an image of God that fits their own measure, according to the best of their understanding. And why should an African tribe, a contemporary sect, a solitary being, or a church not have the right to hold a fragment of truth or a singular perception of the Supreme Being?

Fundamentally, might there not be several truths with which to describe this absolute?

Without even mentioning the divine instrument that is the soul, the tool man uses to imagine or attempt to perceive God is his brain. Despite its great complexity and unsuspected powers, it will never be powerful enough to imagine the absolute in all its details. The absolute of everything is not “nothing at all.”

Can the absolute be reached?

Suppose we do reach the absolute—would that not cancel it out by making it concrete? That is, it would no longer be absolute precisely because it had been touched. (Can the absolute become something concrete?)

If this absolute were touched, reached, and made manifest, could we then imagine the appearance of another absolute to replace it? Would the absolute generate the absolute?

Like a little story: imagine that you are sitting peacefully at home. The telephone rings; you answer. God is on the other end. You would surely be happy and surprised. But would that not clarify the image you have of God?

Death doubtless works in that way. Death is the ringing of the telephone. The call you receive from God is life after life. Except that there is a good chance the conversation will last a very long time...

All of us can imagine a being that resembles us—through dreaming, reflection, inward visual projection—a sort of intro-creation.*

All of us are also limited by time when we imagine. But that too is another bond among human beings. An inescapable truth.

Is time one of these absolutes?

*Intro-creation: inner visualization, like a flash, like a memory rising to the surface of the mind.
