There's a life out there and you know it

Bonjour à tous,

Je me rends soudainement compte que vous trois ou quatre, chers abonnés à la newsletter, ne passez quasiment jamais par facebook et n'y voyez donc pas ce qui suit:

Un article de Charles Eisenstein - stating the obvious - sur la fixation sur les émissions de CO2 pour lutter contre le réchauffement climatique. Il y explique que cette fixation là ne prend pas en considération l'équilibre homéostatique du climat en général, donc, effets pervers etc. Surtout, la "lutte contre le réchauffement et les émissions de CO2", reprend d'une certaine manière une façon de penser et de conceptualiser le problème (narrative) qui ressemble plus au discours qui sous-tend la logique guerrière ou financière qu'au discours d'amour et de paix que nous n'entendons plus.

Charles Eisenstein écrit des livres dont le titre est beaucoup trop long pour une tranche, mais tout à fait acceptable pour un coeur humain: "The better world our hearts know is possible", par exemple, que je compte bien lire et vous résumer.

> L'article (cliquer dessus).

Un autre, du même (il a son blog dans le Guardian).

Un article de Thich Nhat Hanh parlant de la corruption latente de la mindfulness lorsqu'elle devient un moyen d'être plus tout ce que vous voulez (performant, concentré, rentable). Ce travers est totalement observable dans le mélange de la culture (californienne) high tech et l'importation des pratiques bouddhistes ou zen. Cet article de Wired en est l'illustration.

Voilà ce sera tout pour aujourd'hui,

Prenez soin de vous,

Gros bisous.

I love you

A friend is one who makes me better. It's with this highly meme-sounding quote that I'd like to start today's rambling. I've recently been on a long trip for a wedding and I had the chance to meet some of my friends along the way. The older I get, the more I realize how delicate our lives are. Everyone is getting older, marrying, becoming pregnant, helping a sick parent. Mortality and life become real themes, we fixate into matter, and despite what I've laboriously tried to prove, there is indeed such a thing as cause and consequence. Our lives decant, or at least yours do. But that's not the point. Meeting my core friends always warms up my heart, especially in Berlin, which remains the town in which I feel the more rested. It probably is because the general atmosphere of the town is more reflective and critical, and life is less filtered by everyone's ambition to run towards success (🔛 this way guys). But that's not either the point. As I was notici...

Karma part 1

Hello there, Long time no see uh? Since I'm currently travelling, I am once again meeting the nomad category of Western people in Asia. There are many things to say about why we travel, and who travels. What struck me again is to see how a lot of the people I met have integrated some chakrayalam concepts, including karma. NB: chakrayalam is the language spoken by new age yogis travlin' around the world. Though it is not restricted to them, it's a weird mixture of pseudo spiritual stuff and relevant remarks on where to find a cheap dentist in Chiang Mai, with hints of sanskrit and mystical references. So with hard work and dedication, I've reached level A2. I cannot use it because I have not been allowed by the Supreme Council of Universal Thruths than Shall Remain Secret Especially to Those Who Respect Nothing, but also, it seems that I don't care and shall risk life bannishment because indeed, I respect nothing. So, karma. I don't intend to refer to any spir...

Sometimes, the wrong train takes you to the right destination

That's what's said in the Lunchbox, the very tender movie I've seen on the plane on my way to the USofA. Of course, thanks to the infinite process of revelation that life is, this struck me as being quite appropriate. As those of you who know me might know, right now, I'm hesitating between two possibilities: becoming a diplomed physical therapist / osteopath and having the best life for realzies, or going all the way to meditation and openness and unknown and probably mega interesting experiences / mistakes, or getting back to some reality and denouncing stupidity elsewhere than in the loo in front of my iphone. When I put it that way, you can see where my heart goes. Today's topic is anal retention, by the way. Anyway, I came here in DC a bit early to be able to attend to Tara Brach's meditation sessions. She's a meditation teacher and psychologist who does these podcasts, and I was super excited to come and see her. Of course I was also super poo...
