Motto
In our days, when the monstrous state of confusion that has engulfed humankind seems to have thrown individuals and societies in complete disarray, one feels almost embarrassed to bring into discussion lofty spiritual matters which may be regarded as inconsequential and naïvely idealistic compared to the grave human problems that our terrestrial existence raises every day. Two thousand years ago, the Bible foretold these circumstances for which René Guénon provided a more recent account: “... the inferior judges the superior, ignorance sets bounds to wisdom, error prevails over truth, the human is substituted for the divine, Earth has priority over Heaven, the individual sets the measure for all things and claims to dictate to the Universe laws drawn entirely from his relative and fallible reason (from “Individualism”, in “The Crisis of Modern World”).

Foi
"...
la foi équivaut à une connaissance cardiaque objectivée; ce que le cœur
microcosmique ne nous dit pas, le cœur macrocosmique — le Logos — nous le dit
dans un langage symbolique et partiel, et cela pour deux motifs: pour nous
informer de ce dont notre âme a un urgent besoin, et pour réveiller en nous
dans la mesure du possible, le souvenir des vérités innées". [« Comprendre
l’ésotérisme » de « L’Ésotérisme comme principe et comme voie »]
