How could it be otherwise with an admirer of Jung, himself enthusiastic about the charlatan Freud before coming back and working for Göring, because all this movement of "spirituality" is made of unstable people who are cling to anything, hoping to solve their own existential problems, then disappointed, move on, never realizing that they are the problem. We see them consult classical philosophers, then Tibetan Buddhists, then return to Christian theses, or to ecologism, or to psychiatry ...
They embark on crusader fights, for the animal cause, against vaccination, for delusional theories of Christianity... but you have to live well, so they rehash the themes of happiness, well-being, and spirituality in works as media as demagogic but of course not scientific.
I see him as a usurper of philosophy. No coherent thought worthy of a philosopher. At best, his publications could be part of a Harlequin collection of psychology.

Otherwise spirituality is addressed to people dissatisfied with living suffering, dissatisfied with the nonsense of life (because of death at the end) and who say to themselves that there must be something else.
Something else there is but they are not satisfactory answers to these 2 existential problems.
The difficulty, it is still my case, is to accept the simple reality * of being nothing, in clear to die psychologically while alive.
All the rest of spirituality is bandaged on a wooden leg, to step back to jump better but it is necessary to go through it, to reject it then.
* When I say reality it is not the reality of ordinary people subject to fatality, it is the reality of being nothing (in his head, obviously not physically ...)
As we are all here, for those who express themselves, with ego very present, we are all very far from awakening.
Just like me for years, F. Lenoir also revolves around the subject, without accepting to really see the absence of a goal to achieve.
It is not enough to understand it intellectually, it is necessary to live it and that is the difficulty.
