Sacred arts and music are worth a long trip to heaven
BEAUTY FOR THOSE WHO SERVE – SALVATION
FOR THE JUST

I covered the
Festival of La Chaise-Dieu nine times from 1996 to 2004 for the local press La
Galipote in Vertaizon, Puy de Dôme, and L’Écho de la Haute Loire, Le Puy en
Velay.
When you get into
this abbey church you cannot come out unchanged. A visit is a real epiphany. I
don’t know if you meet God or the Cosmos, but, surely, you meet with a transcendence
that goes so far beyond the simple rain outside that you may feel as if a storm
of butterflies was falling onto you, and like psychopomps of eternal life,
taking you on their wings to the other side of nowhere, that’s somewhere where everything
is music, light, colors and dancing.
The Choir Tapestries
are also unique and once again you can do what this book does: look at the
details, the quotations, and the Biblical characters, or you can do what this
book does not do: look at the characters as if they were your direct relatives
in the street at rush hour, feel their hearts beating and their minds palpitating
and you follow them into another world where war does not exist, where work is
divine, where knowledge and science are the real salvation of this universe.
You draw one thread
and you let it come to you and along the thread, like a knotted cords of the
Incas, Quipus, you communicate and empathetically merge with all the knots’
contain and you start traveling back in the past to know where we are coming
from, and into the future to imagine sacred music in 1,000 years. Jacques COULARDEAU, LA
CHAISE DIEU, 3015: Les aventures de Loukardill en musique sucrée (Sweet Music,
University of Jupiter on Europa), Édition en français, 5 juillet 2014, KDP Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
And when you come back from that trip back to the
future, you are ready to go back to a trip back to the past again. Dunn North
Carolina and Davis California and the discovery of racism as the sin of those
who think they are the selected people ignoring what their gods tell them that there
is no chosen people, that we all have to strive to prosper and reject fake
racist competition to practice meditation and empathy with the suffering of the
cosmos and the deep desires of all human beings: to know peace and to love all
those who have love to give or need to receive love to learn how to give some
in their turn. Jacques COULARDEAU,
Black Widow Lover: Amour et Veuves Noires, Édition en français, 19 février 2022, KDP
Edition, Kindle Store on all Amazon sites.
That’s the miracle
of La Chaise-Dieu and the Choir Tapestries you have to spend at least 13 hours
with, one hour per tapestry. But You better get this book and learn it by
heart, or take it along, with some kind of a stool, so that you can sit in
front of each triptych and discover all the details about them in the book The
rest in your mind, your soul, your spirit and you will discover your spirit is
as holy as holy can be in our forlorn and abandoned world.
La Chaise-Dieu is a magic and sacred place.
The magic of the Spirit and the Mind playing goofy-goof with the Soul and never
finding any way out of the trick. But the solution is contained in the Choir
Tapestries of the Abbey Church: Jesus at the last supper with Mary Magdalena on
this left an the kid apostle John on his right. That's the trinity of Love I
want to remember.
