19th Century Farmhouse



We know this famous prophecy of Malraux that " The twenty-first century will be spiritual or it will not . Among the many clues that seem to prove him right, it should be noted this phenomenon of society what became of the film Xavier Beauvois : Of Men and Gods .

More than the film itself which, after Grand Prix at Cannes , has received three Cesars including Best Film of year is his success in public is a phenomenon company. A phenomenon that - closer to its etymology - highlights values in which the fringe is projected most enlightened and most advanced of collective consciousness at the dawn of the twenty-first century.
In a world in crisis where there is conformity and competition, profit and materialism, these values are those of the emerging resistance and solidarity of gift and spirituality .

Resistance illustrated by a group of men refractory to pressure from fanatical terrorism as those of social conformity. Solidarity illustrated by the fraternal ties experienced in community life and the ties between that community and its social environment.
Don illustrated by a life of service-oriented all forms of otherness: the other men like transcendence, and this, in a joyful frugality. Spirituality illustrated by a sanctified life through the encounter - ritual or personal - between men and gods.



If in his film, Xavier Beauvois uses codes of the Christian religion as a medium of expression for his creative vision, it is obvious that spirituality of the XXI century invent its own expressions quite different from those of centuries past.

In a documentary entitled Words of Men, an excerpt follows below, Arnaud Peuch proposes a series of interviews with three contemporary spiritual masters: Arnaud Desjardins , Lee Lozowick and Stephen Jordan.

These wise develop a contemporary perspective on the spiritual which is also a spiritual perspective on the contemporary world . They answer questions we ask about the disorders in the world and how to cope that they believe can only be spiritual.

For Arnaud Desjardins " If we understand only the language of religion:" Man is a being ousted by original sin "means that half the truth. The other half is: we carry possibility of developing intrinsic, intimate, immense . It is this development opportunity that will explore the spirituality of the twenty-first century.

In the evolutionary perspective which is ours, the spirituality of the twenty-first century will integrate both the traditional wisdom that modern humanism and postmodern pluralism to bring about a new vision: that of an integral spirituality and nondual - deeply poetic - which sees the dynamics of evolution - not only biological but also psychological and cognitive, social and cultural - as the manifestation of the Spirit transcendent.
