Love is the only possible remedy here below—a sublimated love capable of transforming beings, raising the level of consciousness to cure it of its evils. In the material world as it exists, no system will succeed in that, except the way of the Spirit conveying higher values conducive to that transformation. Where does the world come from, where is it going? That remains a mystery to men, in spite of the dangerous theories designed by those who believe they know. Reality is more complex, and no human being to date holds the truth. The barriers of illusion hinder that discovery and that is the way it goes. How would it be interpreted, how would the seeker appropriate the scraps of knowledge that would reach him?

"Man is imaginative; he operates that way in all aspects of life. Making him admit the truth is not always easy when it is about shaking what he considers as his very sure asset. His convictions are generally well established; he is attached to them and it is not easy to convince him of a reality he cannot figure out. He is accustomed to his imagination, which belongs to his way of functioning until the day when another form of truth emerges from the core of his being, reflecting an asset more in conformity with what he is actually.

"From then on the ascent can start. While being refined gradually, he will enter into symbiosis with an innate knowledge surpassing the human condition. The process is long and discoveries take place gradually; many lives are necessary so that, eventually, the light of the Spirit can appear."
