Avec un ton vif et une parole libre Jean Papin n’hésite à renverser quelques-unes de nos idoles et bousculer nos certitudes. Jean Papin éclaircit pour nous le sens des mots Dieu, âme, esprit que nous projetons sur l’Inde et qui nous conduit à de mauvaises interprétations de l’hindouisme. Il nous montre aussi que l. a. recherche d’appuis dans les traditions spirituelles peut être une fuite de l’expérience de l’instant présent ; les cultures et les traditions nous enferment dans le carcan des conditionnements et nous orientent vers des expériences de seconde major. Elles nous suggèrent des réponses qui n’auront jamais l. a. fraîcheur de los angeles spontanéité. citadel de son titanic tradition et de connaissance directe du sanskrit, Jean Papin discussion ici sur les enseignants contemporains, René Guénon, Lilian Silburn, Alain Danielou, ainsi que sur les traditions comme le shivaïsme du cachemire, l’advaita Vedanta, le zen, le hatha-yoga. Il aborde de nombreuses questions intéressant tout chercheur spirituel : A-t-on besoin d’un maitre ? Des pratiques sont-elles nécessaires pour los angeles libération (moksha) ? Qu’est-ce que le pranayama ? Jean Papin montre aussi qu’aujourd’hui une vraie concordance apparaît entre technology et culture de sagesse non-duelle, notamment entre l. a. mécanique quantique et le shivaïsme du Cachemire. Ce que cherche Jean Papin c’est de nous montrer remark toucher l. a. sensation "nue", déconnectée du psychological, remark se mettre au touch direct avec le mouvement universel et ininterrompu de l. a. vie dans le présent éternel. Il s’agit de retourner les sens vers le dedans pour s’éveiller à une size où l’espace-temps est aboli.
