Pendant que je r&#233;pare la fen&#234;tre du salon, c'est la chambre &#224; coucher qui prend la pluie. Et pendant que je retape l'escalier, un &#233;clair d&#233;truit la toiture. Je veux &#234;tre heureux et pour cela j'essaie d'am&#233;liorer mes relations avec les autres, mais soudain je sens un poids de mille atmosph&#232;res qui p&#232;se sur mon cr&#226;ne. J'essaie d'apaiser mes angoisses et me concentre sur une id&#233;e positive, consolatrice, mais mes paroles deviennent superficielles, sentimentales, voire carr&#233;ment d&#233;biles, et elles produisent l'exact inverse de ce que je voulais obtenir : je me retrouve pris d'insomnies et de sayn&#232;tes obsessionnelles ; des images de cauchemar m'assaillent continuellement. A chaque fois que je prends mon marteau et des clous pour retaper un truc alors qu'un autre truc s'&#233;croule de l'autre c&#244;t&#233; de la pi&#232;ce, j'ai envie de tchiper comme Big Boi dans le clip de &lt;em&gt;Ms. Jackson&lt;/em&gt; &#8212; la chanson de OutKast.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Mon corps est &#224; l'image de ce c&#339;ur : le foie d&#233;conne, je soigne mon foie, et c'est l'estomac qui part en vrille. La v&#233;sicule biliaire est calcin&#233;e, un chirurgien la retire, et l'acidit&#233; accumul&#233;e d&#233;truit les intestins. Finalement, un autre &#171; sp&#233;cialiste &#187; trouve ce qu'il faudrait faire au niveau des intestins, mais voil&#224; que le foie recommence d&#233;j&#224; &#224; d&#233;conner... Tchip. Cette vie est comme un verre qui se vide sans cesse : on a beau remplir, il se vide comme s'il &#233;tait trou&#233;. L'eau s'&#233;vapore dans l'air.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;On va le dire autrement : face &#224; la progression du mal, je ne cesse de lutter pour obtenir un r&#233;tablissement de la situation pr&#233;c&#233;dente, or, en agissant ainsi, je mets en p&#233;ril ce qui peut rester de bien. Je l&#226;che la proie pour l'ombre. Et il y a quelques mois, lorsque je suis all&#233; voir Mme Liu, j'&#233;tais dans un &#233;tat d&#233;plorable &#224; force de tout faire pour me soigner. Depuis un an, je naviguais de m&#233;decin en m&#233;decin et de m&#233;thode de gu&#233;rison et de m&#233;thode de gu&#233;rison : le seul r&#233;sultat remarquable de mes efforts c'est que mes organes se d&#233;t&#233;rioraient les uns apr&#232;s les autres. Mme Liu a longuement &#233;tudi&#233; la situation. Elle a trac&#233; quelques id&#233;ogrammes sur une feuille de papier pli&#233;e en deux et m'a dit avec un ton autoritaire et tranchant : &#171; Impossible de soigner vos organes, soigner l'un c'est attaquer l'autre. Ce qu'on va faire, c'est apaiser l'ensemble. &#187; Et ce n'&#233;tait pas difficile. C'&#233;tait m&#234;me assez facile.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;A mesure que le verre de la vie se vide, le verre de l'&#226;me se remplit. Le verre a m&#234;me souvent l'air de se vider et de se remplir en m&#234;me temps. La vie de l'&#226;me est en zoom compens&#233;. Se dire qu'on est fichu donne un courage extraordinaire. Se dire qu'on est pr&#234;t du but est terriblement d&#233;courageant. Il vaut mieux se croire toujours fichu mais tout faire pour remonter la pente. Parce que si on refuse de chasser l'ombre, la proie s'ent&#233;n&#232;bre d'elle-m&#234;me ; et la paix m&#234;me se transforme en guerre comme l'eau s'&#233;vapore dans l'air. Au moins, l'ombre est mobile, elle remet tout en question &#224; chaque instant et nous tient dans un &#233;tat d'alacrit&#233; continuel. Si on perd de vue l'ensemble en isolant chaque probl&#232;me, on contribue &#224; r&#233;pandre le chaos sur cette plan&#232;te. Mais si on ne combat pas sans cesse, on p&#233;rit de la paix superficielle, larv&#233;e, qu'on a cru obtenir. Le verre ne doit &#234;tre ni &#224; moiti&#233; vide ni &#224; moiti&#233; plein. Le verre est une image de la limite. Sa seule fonction est d'&#234;tre bris&#233;.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Il ne faut jamais cesser de combattre, mais on ne doit jamais chercher &#224; obtenir une victoire sur le Mal. Il n'y a aucune victoire &#224; obtenir, ni sur le Mal ni sur autre chose. On doit seulement chercher &#224; r&#233;parer les injustices et &#224; cr&#233;er les conditions de la paix. Nous ne sommes vivants ni dans la maladie ni dans la sant&#233;, mais dans l'effort fourni pour obtenir la sant&#233;. Nous ne sommes vivants ni dans la guerre ni dans la paix, mais dans l'effort fourni pour r&#233;parer les injustices et faire advenir la paix. A tous les instants de notre vie, nous nous retrouvons en &#233;quilibre sur une corde raide entre deux enfers. Cette corde est tranchante comme un rasoir. Ce rasoir est l'image la plus rapproch&#233;e que nous avons du bonheur &#9632;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#ret&quot;&gt;&#8593;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;iframe width=&quot;560&quot; height=&quot;315&quot; src=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/embed/WEkuqv1V4n4&quot; frameborder=&quot;0&quot; allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a name=&quot;eng&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#6B6C70&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;+8&quot;&gt;M&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;y heart resembles a decrepit country house under a storm. While I repair the window in the living room, the one in the bedroom invites the rain in. And as I fix the stairs, a lightning strike wounds the roof&#8230; I want to be happy and for that I try to improve my relationships with others but, suddenly, I bear the weight of a thousand atmospheres on my skull. I try to calm my anxieties. I try to focus on a positive, comforting idea, but my words become superficial, sentimental, if not downright stupid, and they produce the exact opposite of what I intended : insomnia and obsessive playlets ; nightmare images assail me recurrently. Whenever I take my hammer and nails to fix something, while something else crumbles across the room, I want to suck my teeth like Big Boi in &lt;em&gt;Ms. Jackson&lt;/em&gt;'s clip&#8212;the song of OutKast.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;	My body is this heart incarnate : the liver is messing around, I take care of my liver, next is the stomach that spins out of control. The gallbladder prematurely returns to ashes, a surgeon removes it, and the resulting acidity accumulation dissolves my bowels. Finally, another &quot;specialist&quot; finds what should be done about my bowels, but now the liver strikes back... and I suck my teeth again. This life is like a glass that leaks its content : we fill it up to no use because it seems to have a drain ; water evaporates in the air.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;	In other words : while watching the evil winning ground, I am constantly struggling to restore what failed and in doing so I jeopardize what remained untouched, I'm chasing after rainbows. Therefore, when I went to see Ms. Liu a few months ago, I was a wreck trying too hard to heal myself. For the last year, I have been visiting doctor after doctor and went from healing to healing. The only remarkable result of my efforts was my constant deterioration. Ms. Liu scrupulously studied the situation. She traced a few ideograms on a sheet of paper folded in half and said in an authoritative and sharp tone : &#8220;Impossible to treat your organs, to treat one is to attack the other. What we have to do is appease the whole.&#8221; And it was not difficult : it was easy enough.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;	As the glass of life empties itself, the glass of the soul gets filled. The glass often seems to be emptied and filled at the same time ; the soul's life as seen through a dolly zoom. To say that one is finished gives extraordinary courage. To say that one gets near the goal is terribly discouraging. It is better to think of yourself as always finished but to do everything you can to get back on track. Should we not fight the shadow away, the prey will inevitably shadow itself. Peace becomes war as water evaporates into the air. At least, the shadow is mobile, it challenges everything, always, and keeps us in a state of continual alacrity. If one loses sight of the whole by isolating each problem, one contributes to spread the chaos on this planet. But if one does not fight ceaselessly, one perishes of the superficial, hidden peace, which one had thought to acquire. The glass must be neither half empty nor half full. The glass depicts the limit. Its only function is to be broken.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;	We must never stop fighting, but we must never seek a victory over evil. There is no victory to be gained, neither over evil nor anything else. We must only seek to repair injustices and create conditions for peace. We are not alive either in sickness or in health, but when the effort is put to obtain health. We are alive neither in war nor in peace, but in the effort to repair injustices and help peace flourish. At every moment of our lives, we find ourselves in a precarious balance on a wire over two infernos. This wire is as sharp as a razor. Its cutting edge is the clearest image we can have of happiness &#9632; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;div align=&quot;right&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;-1&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;#ret&quot;&gt;&#8593;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fragmentation, being a paradoxical consequence of globalization, is an internal human process that spreads throughout modern times. This phenomenon is commonly compared by specialists in India to the era of the goddess Kali (Kali Yuga). They can see there a form of self-cannibalism that manifests itself most commonly as a representation of oneself being a collection of separate parts, each seen as a fetish.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The symptoms are numerous: pandemic development of multiple personalities, &lt;i&gt;tabula rasa&lt;/i&gt; (blank slate levelling) psychological projects by Dr. Cameron, chaotic and simultaneous appearance of serial killers and fast food chains, or metastatic ubiquity of stars who do not know very well where they stand when the most famous among them are asking themselves the question (in posters, TVs, human brains or hard drives?).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;In today's world, one only appears in parts. &lt;i&gt;LE DISPOSITIF&lt;/i&gt; produces an electrical current that aims at rearranging the pieces and generate mental bifurcation areas. A &quot;Restored Man&quot; project has repeatedly been evoked in history: it would be the effect of the bicameral divine voice&#8212;represented in turn by the face of the Fox, the Butterfly, and the Seahorse&#8212;revealing itself as Birdmen, distant root representatives of humanity with its unclear origin (Mazdean Fravashi, Angels, Aliens?).&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Assuming that all information is pollution, the viewer is offered a variety of perspectives operated by &lt;i&gt;LE DISPOSITIF&lt;/i&gt; which strengthen its immune system to confront the waves of chaos and dislocation to come.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;LE DISPOSITIF&lt;/i&gt;, is created by Thomas Bertay &amp; Pac&#244;me Thiellement and produced by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sycomorefilms.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Sycomore Films&lt;/a&gt;: &lt;a href=&quot;http://vimeo.com/sycomorefilms
