Presentation The urgency of reconnecting with nature. Life is nothing other than uninterrupted exchanges between man and nature. By opening our heart to nature, by feeling that we are fully linked to it and that we are totally part of it, we can then access the "great book of nature". So we will begin to capture, grasp, information of a subtle nature and discover the true meaning of the "science of life". Because nature is the great cosmic reservoir with which we must urgently enter into contact. 'In Initiatic Science, to read means to be able to decipher the subtle and hidden side of objects and creatures, to interpret the symbols and signs placed everywhere by Cosmic Intelligence in the great book of the universe. To write means to leave one's imprint on this great book, to act upon stones, plants, animals and men through the magic force of one's spirit.'
