  • Many, many thanks for sharing with us this rare document. Could you please up load this lecture in its whole ? Wish you a nice day.

  • @fcyeznikian Your welcome. This is the entire recorded (first) lecture. These lectures were published in manuscript form in both English and French, but these texts included M-P's own notes, so there's more to these than the actual recordings themselves. Will be uploading the other lectures over the coming weeks.

  • Who can send me the text in english of this video? roxbency@virgilio.it.

    Thanks a lot

  • Thanks so much for these! I had requested them from INAtheque in Paris but they can't digitize on demand. Did you get them off of FranceCulture that rebroadcasted them some time ago?

  • @roryscanlon (cont...)

    However, this extra-reality of direct perception has nothing (Nothing!) to do with "opacity". We are not able to see by our eyes because it is dark... because light cannot penetrate--but rather because there is a more-than-objective light which shines in its immediacy throughout all beings. This light, which enlightens situated subjects, allows things to retain their irreducible wholeness--their gestalt-form, or simply their reality: the table exists!

    (wonderful clip)

  • "what is light? --does one not ask a physicist?" ...

    "It is on the contrary, the law, which is an approximate expression of the physical event".

    Yes. yes. Fresh air, music to the ears!

    (cont'd)

  • This man makes no sense
