Women and men who undertake a spiritual quest should never forget that the key to success lies in our ability to understand and to admit the paradoxes of Life.

What looks like darkness for mind is light for spirit.

Depending on whether you give priority to your spirit or your mind, it will result diametrically opposed choices and attitudes.
If you neglect this essential fact in your spiritual quest, you won't be able to attain conscience awakening.

As soon as you seek, you should not forget that the one who seeks is " I ", that is to say the ego, your character shaped and conditioned by his social and cultural environment.

And how does he seek ? With the help of his reason which rests on countless prejudices, postulates, and all sorts of conventions which change as time goes by and according to the circumstances.

This is how we vehemently contradict one day what we claimed the day before. We always have good reasons to justify our choices - even the most sordid ones - and contradict other people's choices.

What we call our "truths" are actually only ideologies at one point which stem from mind, and that we decide arbitrarily to admit as references often trying to impose them on the other.
Everyone hold their own "truths" which, as a matter of fact, are not necessarily "truths" for the other.

In other words, nobody holds the Truth.

Man can not hold the Truth, for it is Truth which holds Man. Man is a part of this Truth he ignores himself. As he ignored at a time that the Earth was round whereas he was living on and by it.

Truth doesn't stem from Man's mind but from God's Spirit, from Universal Consciousness.

Only spirit can access Truth, not mind.

At best, Man can become an echo of Truth whose characteristic is to be timeless and universal.

Anyone can access it by the path of spirit, and understand it by the path of the heart.

As soon as one tunes up with Truth, there is no more discord between beings, and this is the way can be played the Great Symphony of Life conducted by the Supreme Conductor we call God.

Truth is the universal Musical Notation. Life is the universal Symphony, and God is the composer and the conductor of this Symphony, of which no word can express the reality.
