THE ORIGINAL INSPIRATION
IN WINTER, TO BED OF THE GARONNE
BY FEET, TO DRINK IT, TO FEED OF
PLANTS BORDERING IT, TO BIVOUAC
CLOSE TO HER WITHOUT A TENT
AND TO FILM IT
TO EQUIP WITH AN IPOD TOUCH
TO TAKE PICTURES, TO MOUNT AND
TO PUBLISH ONLINE BEFORE THE END
OF THE EXPERIENCE.
TO CREATE, TO DO WHAT WAS
NEVER DONE BEFORE JUST
IN A GAME WITH LIFE
TO MAKE A
THE GARONNE, WINTER, COLD,
THE FOREST, WATER, ANIMALS,
HUMANS, SILENCE
LONELINESS
TO NOURRISH AS MUCH
PHYSICALLY AS
METAPHYSICALLY FROM
THE GARONNE AND ITS
ENVIRONMENT
ON PAPER IT'S NICE
NOW LET'S MOVE ON FROM
THEORY TO PRACTICE
DEPARTURE ON DEC 9TH 2010
FEAR OF NATURE, FEAR OF THE COLD,
FEAR OF HUNGER, FEAR OF DEATH,
FEAR OF LONELINESS, FEAR OF
THE UNKNOWN
DIFFUSE SLOWLY
BUT FOR SURE
INSIDE THE BODY
BY MEANS OF THOUGHTS
BUT INTUITION IS HERE,
CALM AND BENEVOLENT
SO TO SET THE SCENE
IN REALITY TO OBSERVE
THESE DAM FEARS WHICH
FREEZE LIFE IN THE INERTIA
OF THE DAY-TO-DAY
THE FACE-TO-FACE WITH ONESELF
PROMISES TO BE EPIC
THIS IS THE PRICE TO PAY
TO REGAIN ONE'S FREEDOM,
ONE'S INDEPENDENCE
TO RESET ONE'S MENTAL
IN ITS PLACE, TO SHOW IT
WHO IS THE BOSS
LIFE IS DEMANDING
TO BE LIVED, IT ASKS
TO CLIMB TO ITS LEVEL
A FILM AND AN EXPERIENCE
BY RODOLPHE FORGET
A MUSIC BY VAYN
A MUSIC BY PHILIPPE GLASS
A PRODUCTION BY
ODONNA FILM
So here I'm gonna try to take some water as I said,
the Garonne is here, but so, then,
I don't tell you the trick
this is muddy
holy cow !
well, I'm gonna stop the camera
because if I slip in the water
I would better not, so,
I will try to go get water.
OK, so I achieved it,
good thing I am smart,
well, I'd better be because
this is,
this is the only water that I'll drink,
here it is, I was successful, but,
it is, I have used the method of the well,
I will show you,
so the method of the well,
I took my little pan
I took the thread,
and so I have thrown it like a fisherman,
and then, well, voila,
I find myself with water,
this is water of the Garonne,
and then it will allow me to prepare my meal today.
THE ADDICTION TO PLEASURE (FRIENDS,
COMFORT,CARESSES....) REVEALS ITSELF
THE FEELING OF LACKING
INSTALLS AND HAS PLEASURE
TO DO HARM
ALONG THESE KILOMETERS
THE PROOF RESSEMBLES
TO A REHAB TREATMENT
" the need for freedom
that's very simple, anyway, people see it well right now,
it's that we are eaten by all that which keeps us,
we don't see it gets us caught,
it's, well, it's EDF ( the French electric company)
it's the phone, it's the rental, that's all this,
and then well, not only does it enslave us,
but, it makes us blind, it blinds us,
we don't even notice that we are prisonners,
but worse than in Frennes (Parisian jail) in fact,
eh, ha ! no, but I assure you !
and, so, I have traveled for ten years
and I've never been as free as during this time."
DISCOMFORT MAKES THE MENTAL SIDE
TO LOSE GROUND GRADUALLY
IT THEN INCREASES
THE DOSE OF LACK AND SUFFERING,
TEARS ARE NOT ALWAYS ENOUGH
SLAVERY IS ITS
POWER IN REALITY
Here it's really, here I,
we are on the second evening of bivouac,
and it's been, I am, each time that I need
to get to this point, that's true that,
I'm not feeling very good, and,
I feel like crying, I feel like...
I ask myself " what am I doing here ? "
...
very difficult.
very, very difficult.
So I will try to,
to find myself a place,
and on top of that it's very early,
and often when I sleep,
well, when I must go to sleep, well,
usually at this time I am active,
so, here it's really, really,
really difficult,
so I found this place,
here it is,
here is where I should be sleeping tonight,
OK, so here is the result,
this to say that for today, well,
it will be ready this way, so, now,
I must hurry up to go get small branches,
and to try to make a very small fire,
to warm up, it will do me good.
I'ts past 8 Am,
and since very early this morning,
and very late last night, I heard hunters,
it was something pretty unreal,
hunters we hear them, always, all the time,
all the time.
Well, eventually I have had a good sleep,
above all I achieved to make a fire,
and now, this was,
in these moments I always feel like saying
that it was the best day of my life !
well, fire is really, it's really magic,
here now temperature is around zero (32°F)
A STOP IN LANGON
The main can not be found except that
after living and with the experience I realize
that, I have multiple possibilities of,
what are the words ? of detail, of information,
of verification, which make that I could say
to myself, " ah ! it's a coincidence,
but by force of accumulating hundreds of coincidences,
it can't be coincidences anymore,
so, voila, there are splendid things offering themselves,
and that's what I try to share with the people who,
who come to listen to me when I propose a little conference,
a little training, something, voila,
or a conversation like I am doing here.
A BACKPACK TOO HEAVY
WHICH GETS LIGHTENED FROM THE UNUSEFUL,
THE ESSENTIAL IS KEPT
GETTING BACK TO THE ROAD TO LONELINESS,
TO SILENCE
WITH MIND WHICH HAS NOT YET GIVEN UP ITS REIGN
??? par le froid,
because anyway it's a little cold,
but well, very glad that my little tunings are getting refined,
oh ! I see a lot, a lot of condensation, on my backpack also,
OK, a little glance on the beauty, the beauty who I slept with,
last night.
I'm in the Mas d'Agenais, behind me, there is the Garonne,
and it's my first day, well, of snow, so
voila, as you can see, it snowed quite a bit over here,
and well, I am doing fine, tonight or tomorrow morning I will be in Agen,
voila, I walk because...
THE MIND MAKES ITSELF MORE
DISCRETE
THE MENTAL HAS CALMED DOWN
BUT IT IS WAITING FOR ITS TIME
WITH MALICE, PATIENTLY
NERVOUS TIREDNESS
MAKES ITS APPEARANCE
TIREDNESS ACCUMULATED TOO MUCH
FROM REPEATED AXED SLEEPTIMES
ANGER WHICH WAS DOZING
BREAKS OPEN, AN ENERGY
LIBERATES IN THE AIRS
THE REVELATION OF THIS
VIOLENCE UPSETS
So here, now, I'm up my ***,
it's been hours and hours since I
began to walk, my feet are hurting,
and so on, I have Agen right in front
of me here, but I don't know, I have
the feeling that I am on a road and
that it will never end, and here
I am really, tired from last night,
I am, I am fed up, I am really fed up,
I am angry right now, it's,
it's related to tiredness,
I'm up my *** and really...
STOP IN AGEN
Yes, yes, of course, I breathe
but, no, well, I don't breathe
- Ah, OK
no, you don't need to know that
you are breathing, it's allright
- OK -
so then the body makes what is needed,
- yes -
If you feel like drinking you don't
ask yourself " now I suck, now I must
do that, it will go.. " no, that's it,
you drink, your body knows to do that.
- that's true.
And so it's as easy as this, but this is
the difficult thing for me, about teaching things
is that people want to sing,
so they lock everything saying to themselves,
It must be set this way it must be opened,
it must ... "
THE WALK STARTS AGAIN
SLOWLY
THE LACK OF PLEASURE
DISAPPEARS BECAUSE PRESENT
TAKES THE LEAD OVER THE PAST
TRUE LONELINESS
BEGINS TO HATCH
OK, now a pinch of advertising
for somebody who helped me
to get provisions during the journey,
his name is Adrien, I will say his exact name,
Adrien Galaret and he is a spirulinier
voila, so you go to Google you type spirulina to see more
and it allows to feed oneself, when one has
not much to eat, so, that's it,
so here is the package,
with the contact information, and,
this man gave it to me for free,
so, I made, a little salad with nettles,
and dandelions that I harvested on the road,
and then, I will mix that with spirulina.
And now, I added olive oil, I mix it all very well,
here it is, so I mix, and look at the view I have,
it's interesting, over the canal,
let's get back to our salad,
and so now I will taste it,
voila, so, according to the book of François Couplan,
when you mix nettle with another plant it doesn't sting anymore
so I will test this,
for the first time.
Indeed, it doesn't sting,
and it's very good,
it's very very good,
OK, well, fine !
Voila,
my meal of midday !
WALK AND SILENCE
THE ABSENT MIND ALLOWS
TO HEAR SILENCE INSIDE
WHICH IS CONNECTED
FROM THE BEGINNING
TO SILENCE OUTSIDE
THE VISION THAT UNITY
NEVER STOPPED TO EXIST
IS DEEPLY MOVING
MENTAL SLICES LIFE
IN SEVERAL IDENTITIES
(NATIONALITY, RELIGION
FAMILY, JOB, ETC WHICH
SEPARATE AT A POINT, THE EGO
MAKING THE FEELING
OF LONELINESS WHICH DIFFERS
FROM THE STATE OF LONELINESS
TO GIVE UP ALL THESE
IDENTITIES WHICH DIVIDE
IN ORDER TO BECOME INTEGRATED AGAIN
BY DOING SO TO DO A
IS SAID OF THE STATE OF
LONELINESS (ONE, ALONE°
IS SAID OF A STATE OF LOVE
(ONE, UNIQUE, UNION, UNITY)
SO LOVE DOESN'T COME FROM
THE OUTSIDE (COUPLE,
FAMILY, FRIENDS, GOD) TO THE INSIDE
BUTH FROM A WITHIN
INTEGRATED TOWARDS THE OUTSIDE
LIFE IS FLOWING THIS WAY
STOP IN TOULOUSE
??? of training, of concentration of information to
transmit knowledge to people who are in love with water.
So, who are these people ? it can be anybody as long as
we love water, we are attracted by this, substance
which some would like to consider like it's only a molecule,
with oxygen, hydrogen and so, that's it, it's a solvent,
and then, so this is a chemical like any other, and then,
other people who see in it, we won't say a goddess,
but it brings one, however,
to considerations which go way beyond..
Dec 24th
THE MENTAL CHOSE DEC 24TH
FOR THE FACE-TO-FACE,
IT STRUCK ITS HIT
AS A TRAITOR
TEARS RAN
AND REACHED THE GARONNE
THEN AFTER, NOTHING, JUST CALMNESS,
A FIRE TO MAKE, NIGHT WHICH IS NEAR
PAIN (LIKE ANY THING) NEEDS
TO BE LOVED TO SEE IT IN ITS
GLOBALITY, TO UNDERSTAND IT
THEN IT DISSIPATES LIKE SMOKE
TO RAN AWAY FROM IT (DISTRACTION)
ONLY MAKES IT WORSE
CHRISTMAS MEAL
Wolves in the Pyrenees !
THE FEAR TO DIE BUT
NOT DEATH EXPRESS ITSELF
(ANGER, TEARS, ETC), THERE
WAS NO DANGER
THE VISION FROM WITHIN DECEPTION
OF THE MENTAL ATTACHED TO ITS CENTER,
THE EGO, WHICH SURRENDERS
" a little bit in the same spirit,
so I show you the postcard to show you
how it looks like at "Chez QuiQui "
here it is, right now and like that,
so, well, here you,
" thank you very much "
so here you know you have
a good address to come to have food,
and so we are going to ask
the lask question about the Garonne,
yet did you see people doing
a kind of pilgrimage of la Garonne ?
no, I will explain, myself I had not seen,
I talked with people who followed the Garonne,
but it's the meeting, once again,
that makes also part of life, to me this is
what interests me is to speak with people,
it's this meeting with you,
you explain me what you do, so, voila,
but people who are coming in regularly
along the banks of the Garonne, yes,
but who follows the Garonne you are the first person
I was born here,
I traveled quite a bit, it's been 14 years
since I settled here, you are the first one,
I hope you won't be the last one,
this way the next one will tell me how it is,
and if you come-back around here I hope
you will give me all these feelings also.
WHEN EMPTINESS IS, THE EGO IS NOT ANYMORE
AND THE WHOLE CAN FILL THE CONTAINER
THE WHOLE, LOVE, BEAUTY, VOID (NO MATTER THE NAME)
THEN LIGHTENS UP HUMAN AND SO
THE HUMANITY OF INFINITE COMPASSION
EXPERIENCE COMES TO DELIVER ITS
UNEXPECTED OUTCOME 90KMS FROM THE END
MENTAL IS NOT SURE ANYMORE ABOUT ITS THRONE
(FOR A LITTLE WHILE, TO STAY ALERT)
SO THEN IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO KEEP ON,
MORE IN AUGUST 2011
THANKS A LOT TO ALL OF THOSE WHO
HAVE CONTRIBUTED WITH THEIR HELP
TO MAKE THIS PROJECT A REALITY
AND A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO THE
RECEPTION OF NATURE AND WATER OF
THE CANAL AND THE GARONNE
Partners of the experience
