The Virtual Institute

For years, at my school in Montreal (Quebec, Canada), I have provided instruction covering my research on sciences that were previously the privilege of the Ancient scholars. Today’s technology gives me the opportunity to offer this knowledge to the world.

If you don’t know me, you will discover that my joy is to share with people who are passionate about these subjects, but at no time I will become a « master » in dire need of followers.

The day I decided to devote my life to Spirituality, I gave myself two goals :

Unfortunately, it is not easy to reach such objectives, because on the one hand, the Tarot and numerology have become items of predilection for some, who take advantage of people’s credulity; and on the other hand, because individuals who have personal interests in having a debate overprotect the scientific domain of what has already been established. It goes without saying that the loser remains the public !

And indeed, this site is aimed at the public, particularly at the researchers who are looking to find serious references to this type of knowledge. The word « reference » is used in its exact definition, because while communication is becoming worldwide through the Internet, it is difficult for people to distinguish between what is credible and not, especially in an esoteric field. We hope this site becomes your favorite one. Those who become members will have the guarantee of authenticity and seriousness of its references.

Naturally, this site will develop and diversify. In the short term, it will become a university of knowledge and inner growth. It will be your interest and the seriousness of people that will allow it to be endorsed, and by the same token, allow the whole planet to finally recognize what has for a very long time, been hidden.

It goes without saying that the foundations of this site rest on the knowledge I have accumulated over decades. But with time, it will be enriched by others to become – I hope – the reference of all those who aspire to greater knowledge!

We will have many things to share and demystify. The first one is to put aside all prejudices so as to have access to another vision of things. In the past, the Tarot and numerology have been isolated for too long in the hands of charlatans, who have reduced these sciences to objects of exhibition.

Were you aware that the art of the Tarot was born in the Middle Ages, and that its first aim was to teach self-development ? If, from its birth we do not find it in a list of forbidden games, it is because it was part of the Church’s plans to educate illiterate people, using the imagery and the allegory of the cards. (This was put in place by the synod of Arras in 1025). Indeed, the Tarot is more than that; it is the legacy of a civilization that the Church, in the name of God, set out to destroy fiercely and unrelentingly. It should be noted that originally, it was used to give knowledge. Divination with the Tarot started later in the 18th century.

The same goes for numerology, which was in the Middle Ages a recognized sacred science. St Thomas of Aquinas, one of the fathers of the Church, said that to know the numbers meant knowing God! But did you know that the Greek alphabet with only 24 letters, and the French and English alphabets with 26 letters, had their syntax structured only in the 18th century. How can credit be continuously given to Pythagoras who was completely ignorant of what the French or English civilizations would become today, and even more so that the Gregorian calendar of Pope Gregory the 13th, which we use today, dates from the 16th century…Pythagoras was dead long before that. And what is more, his numerology relied on ten numbers (from 1 to 10 inclusive) and not nine, as many who study his numerology believe !

These simple thoughts allow us to suggest that if the Tarot and numerology can be ways to better understand one’s existence, then, they also are tools to grasp the Universe. This is why it is planned that one day, as soon as the courses on Tarot and numerology are in place, a section of the site will be devoted to the knowledge of revealed Occultism.

Today, I like to ask my students in Tarot the following question: « How can a seeker be helped to confront his reality, if in a reading, the Tarot reader has no idea of the laws of existence ? » How many times have I heard clairvoyants tell their distraught client that he could not do anything about a situation, because it was « karmic » ? It is always easy and dangerous to impose views to people who are looking for help. Many belief systems must be demystified. For instance, did you know that during an astral projection, we do not go out of our body, but on the contrary we go in before we find ourselves outside ? Do you know that in the phenomena of the thought-form, a person who tries to persuade himself of his positivism is in fact convincing himself of the reverse ?

A Tarot reader or a numerologist must above all, be a being in eternal growth. He must hold in his heart the wonder of a child, who is constantly dazzled by seeing stars in the eyes of the one he is trying to help !

An important remark : This site is first and foremost a school.

The world was not made in a day, and hence, one does not become a Tarot reader or a numerologist in an instant. The structure of this site relies on training, study and practice. It is function within these parameters that the courses will be given.

I would also like to bring to your attention that it is impossible for one person alone to create and manage such a site. Behind it is a group of people, passionate as you are about the Tarot and numerology, who structure the courses, both in content and form, who adapt them to the web site, who translate them from the original French courses to English, and who will be able to answer all your queries regarding the assimilation of the lessons.

I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart. Thanks to them, this knowledge will never, ever be forgotten !

I cannot leave you without remembering what my father told me once, regarding a conversation about growth : « One day we will find ourselves by a warm fire, and we will have nothing else to say » to each of them.

With the innocence of an 18 year old, I added : « Yes, because life would have given me all the answers to my existentialist questions, but on the other hand, what great pleasure it will be for me, to share all that with you. »

Today my father has passed away. And it is with you, in great humility, but with ardor, that I have the sincerest desire to share what life has allowed me to discover.
