In The experience of inner freedom, Patrick Sorrel, professor of philosophy, wonders about human freedom. While men generally complain of being limited in their aspirations by the outside world, Patrick Sorrel believes that this is only "the reflection of our inner world" and therefore proposes to identify as closely as possible the space of our freedom, first of all to define its limits, then to examine experiences of expansion of consciousness, such as psychedelic or shamanistic therapies, intuitive communication or near-death experiences.

Among the tracks examined, figure prominently in the spiritual adventure of Hanna, Gitta, Lili and Joseph who, in the middle of the world war, from June 1943 to December 1944, received instruction from their inner masters through the channel of Hanna. This exceptional experience was recounted, as we know, in Talking with Angels, a book “so deep, clear and authentic that any repetition, interpretation seems to be a bad commentary” believes Patrick Sorrel. He tried it, however, and with success.

It is true that it is not so frequent to converse with angels as it happened in Budaliget then in Budapest, without drugs or trance, simply by the voice of Hanna who tried to translate into words what she heard inside. There will thus be eighty-eight interviews during which will be revealed “His Plan” (that of God) and the task of man: the elaboration of the new world. (Gitta Mallasz said "that the New was the visiting card, the proof of the passage of the angel").

But specifies Patrick Sorrel, it is “neither a post-mortem paradise”, nor a “post-apocalyptic” Earth. “: “What characterizes the novelty of the Dialogues compared to traditional theological interpretations is that the New World is above all within each one. » And « it is up to each of us to put in place, in his own life and in his actions, the New that he wants to see appear in the world. A constantly renewed New, since as soon as the present has passed, it switches to the old.
The author continues: "The New is therefore the fruit of an individual choice made at every moment; it is the choice of movement over inertia, the choice of the path over the burden of one's life, and finally the choice of faith over the inaction that comes with doubt (...) and this threefold choice can be recognised by just one thing: the Joy that emanates from the person (...): the Joy that emanates from the person (...) Joy that does not come from the individual himself, nor can it remain within him; it crosses the personality to radiate in the act of helping. " This is where inner freedom lies, in the possibility of choice, but also in the acceptance of freely taking on the act that is asked of them.
In short, it is a question for man of recognizing and accepting Transcendence and of serving it, not as a slave, but in complete freedom, that is to say "to produce this adequacy, between what he is and what is, between the self and the world, an adequation which must be constantly updated”.

In conclusion, one can ask oneself if “to go out of oneself and to transcend oneself, it is not in reality to return in oneself and find one's inner Master? »
