You left us “with the palms of your hands to the wind, with no other handhold than the air, where the Being, my true home, breathes”. You were an attentive companion, inspired witness to the Silence, vibrant voice of the Presence “of the pure Witness that in our depth breathes, palpitates and cries out to […]
Three years ago the book Dieu : la science, les preuves : l’aube d’une révolution (2021) (God, science, the evidence: the dawn of a revolution) by Michel Yves Bolloré and Olivier Bonnassies was published in France.

I propose 10 points for reflection that I consider fundamental in these times of transition towards a non-theistic, post-theistic or transtheistic philosophy, theology and spirituality.

Rafa Redondo writes: My dear friends, It has been a while since my last newsletter. The existence of each and every one of us has changed somewhat. After nearly two years, I find myself in the body of an 80-year-old man in a delicate state of health that is affecting my capacity to receive […]
