LIFE IN THE PLATE
Research in collective intelligence, as you know, connects to every aspect of social life. One of them I like very much: food. Indeed, what lands in our plate comes from a collective process that involves ecosystems, animals, plants, many humans, and a lot of technology.
HOW I BECME USELESS
Does this title suggest a failure assessment? Not at all, at least, not to me. Some years ago, I made a conscious decision to become useless.
THE LUNAR MAN
In her many books, the French writer Paule Salomon reminds us that thriving love can begin only after the inner couple has accomplished its marriage, once our masculine and feminine, our Shiva and Shakti, our Yang and Yin live, vibrate and celebrate fully in our psyche. Freed from the drives of need and compensation, the accomplished self becomes androgynous. He·she opens himself·herself to joyful celebration with other beings like him·her, nourished by the inner union. Two beings don’t meet anymore, but four, instilling in their amorous dance all the freedom they want.
FOREPLAY TO LOVE
I want to begin this series of articles with preliminaries (or foreplay, I might say) about love. Love—such a big yet small word!
SEX, SEX, SEX
On the ‘about me‘ page, under the short section titled “Sex, sex, sex,” I share a few words about love, women, and sex. Regardless of the context, culture, or country, these lines have sparked many conversations. I keep seeing how people seek answers to the same eternal questions about love. I have also discerned the patterns of love that prevail in different forms of collective intelligence and different forms of consciousness.
QUANTUM VINAIGRETTE
Physics and mysticism work like oil and vinegar, you have to shake them hard together to make a decent vinaigrette. Do we need vinaigrette to season our life? Does quantum physics explain consciousness?
EVOLVE THE WE EVOLVE THE I
I gave this keynote conference October 24th, 2013 in Marseille for the opening of a big convention with 3000 CEOs and senior managers. Twelve minutes (actually, a little more, fourteen), to talk about our inner evolution in a world where everyone talks mostly about technology and external change.
VOW OF WEALTH
I decide to welcome and embrace all the Wealth that springs around me, in its material and immaterial forms.
I welcome Wealth as what brings us closer to the manifestation of Truth, Goodness and Beauty.
THE MAN OF UNDERSTANDING
The man of understanding is not entranced. He is not elsewhere. He is not having an experience. He is not passionless and inoffensive. He is awake. He is present. He knows no obstruction in the form of mind, identity, differentiation and desire. He uses mind, identity, differentiation and desire. He is passionate. His quality is an offense to those who are entranced, elsewhere, contained in the mechanics of experience, asleep, living as various forms of identity, separation and dependence. He is acceptable only to those who understand.
Why Will Humanity Become Vegan?
Despite having completed five previous TEDx talks, this one event in Cannes in June 2021 presented the greatest challenge I ever faced. I couldn’t simply walk on stage with my hands in my pockets.
