    Vivre , c'est avoir des émotions, c'est sentir les "fluxs d'énergie" dans notre organisme pour qu'il puisse fonctionner naturellement. Les émotions sont comme des organes du corps psychique, avec leur fonctions spécifiques. Contrairement au fonctionnement de notre corps, nous n'avons pas reçu d'éducation à l'émotion. Alors nous confondons émotions saines et effets négatifs des émotions trafiquées. Les auteurs proposent d'aborder l'univers des émotions avec optimisme et confiance, car elles agissent toutes dans notre intérêt. Ce sont des réactions utiles, positives, sans danger et indispensables à notre développement.

    La tendresse c'est apprendre à conjuguer le verbe aimer seulement au présent. La tendresse est en nous, mais nous ne savons pas toujours la vivre et la partager. Avec sa sensibilité et sa poésie coutumière Jacques Salomé nous enseigne : - à repérer les habitudes qui font obstacle à la tendresse, - à affronter les principaux ennemis, à dépasser les rancœurs et les ressentiments. Il nous suggère de rencontrer les alliés à la tendresse, de développer toutes nos capacités dans ce domaine que ce soit à l'égard de nos origines, de nos parents, grands-parents, amis, enfants, tendresse amoureuse...

    Au delà de la rencontre, et plus loin que l'amour, c'est cette qualité de la communication qu'ils seront capables ou pas de se proposer l'un à l'autre, qui permettra à deux êtres de former un couple durable. Si aujourd'hui à cette charnière de deux siècles, deux couples sur quatre se brisent dans la souffrance et la violence, se séparent dans le désarroi ou se désunissent parfois par lassitude, c'est souvent parce qu'ils n'ont pas su créer et vivre une relation de partage, d'échange, d'amplification mutuelle pour permettre à chacun d'exister à part entière. Le propos essentiel de Jacques Salomé dans cette conférence est de proposer des repères sur les principales difficultés à vivre en couple, tout en donnant des pistes concrètes sur les possibilités d'un partage et d'une croissance mutuelle dans une relation à deux : - Comment passer de la rencontre à la relation. - Quelles sont les forces de cohésion et les forces d'éclatement, de dispersion, de séparation qui sont à l'œuvre dans tout organisme vivant. Le couple est un organisme vivant constitué de quelque chose de plus que l'addition de désirs et l'intentionalité de former ou fonder une famille. - Comment vivre une relation d'intimité commune partagée, en la conciliant avec une intimité personnelle qui ne sera pas toujours partagée, car c'est la création possible de cette double intimité qui posera le fondement d'une vie de couple. Et comme d'habitude, Jacques Salomé alterne ses réflexions et commentaires techniques avec des illustrations concrètes et précises, et quelques textes poétiques.

    Tout commence par un désir : "faire ensemble un enfant" mais justement lequel ? Que de méconnaissances réciproques autour d'un désir d'enfant ! Puis, vient la naissance avec le dur apprentissage de devenir parents : du nourrissage de départ au sevrage relationnel quand le bébé passe de la maman à ... à la mère. - L'intervention du papa pour limiter une trop grande symbiose avec la maman. - Le passage du papa au père pour affirmer les valeurs et les règles. Si l'amour de l'un ou de l'autre parent est fondamental, il n'est pas suffisant pour élever un enfant. Il faut y ajouter la qualité d'une relation toujours en évolution, pour accompagner un enfant en trouvant chaque fois la bonne distance pour ne pas trop faire pour lui mais faire avec lui. Durant l'adolescence, nous pouvons confirmer une relation d'échange et mutualité plutôt qu'une relation à sens unique. Les propos toniques et vivifiants de l'auteur nous incitent à rester des parents vivants, en devenir, en mutation et en expansion.

    Dans toute rencontre, dans tout partage, nous offrons à l'autre ce que nous sommes. Or beaucoup d'entre nous ont des exigences redoutables à l'égard d'eux-même, des conduites de mépris, des attitudes de rejet, des doutes, des dévalorisations, des conduites d'autoprivation. - La pire des solitudes est de s'ennuyer en sa propre compagnie. La pire des pauvretés n'est pas dans ce qui manque mais dans l'ignorance de tout ce que nous avons. Dans cette conférence Jacques Salomé montre quelques chemins possibles pour accepter de mieux s'écouter, de reconnaître plus vite les sentiments réels qui nous habitent au lieu de produire ce qu'il nomme des "sentiments écrans" qui nous coupent de nous même et de l'autre. Il nous invite à mieux entendre les multiples langages qui circulent en nous, à mieux relationner avec soi-même, à mieux s'aimer et être un meilleur compagnon pour soi.

During that time, he was visited by the Greek god Dionysus, who pointed him towards the theatrical art of tragedy.In addition to working as a playwright, he served in the Greek army, particularly in the wars against Persia, which heavily influenced his earliest works. When inducted into a secret cult surrounding the goddess, Demeter, Aeschylus revealed many of the sect’s mysteries in his scripts. As a result, he was accused of religious mockery, although acquitted at his trial.While he has set the template for tragedians to follow, many of his works have been adapted for film and TV. Perhaps the most notable is ‘Oresteia,’ starring Diana Rigg and Anton Lesser.
