The Way Without Masters

This collection of nondualist texts by Rémi Boyer forms an anthology that is both classic and singular, traditional and avant-garde, in response to a suggestion made to the author in 1998 by Lima de Freitas: "The avant-gardes widen the breach in opacity so that the traditions can slip in."

The philosophical, metaphysical, alchemical, and poetic texts gathered and expanded in this volume were published in France, Spain, and Portugal, in a dispersed manner, over the last three decades. They relate to the philosophies of awakening, the traditions of internal alchemy, and nondual metaphysics, but above all they convey a method and a discipline of the arcane implemented on a daily basis.

The author is bilingual in his own tongue. Alongside a common, consensual, profane manner of speaking, he proposes another relationship to language, non-Aristotelian, crepuscular, and poetic, seeking the original meaning in the sounds themselves, prior to the words, in order to allow the free circulation of mythemes and to find the primary power of the word, renewing a tradition of which Portugal and India have become the guardians.

Whether with vigor or elegance, the words disorganize and disturb the conditioned to leave free space for Being and to open the doors of luminous infinities leading to the Recognition and Reintegration of our Original Nature.

In reality, it is only a matter, sound after sound, word after word, of Freedom.
