One evening, at twelve years old, discouraged and alone in a park, Olivier experienced something out of the ordinary that would remain forever engraved in his memory: sitting on a bench, he is seized with stupor upon seeing a tree before him set ablaze with a fire that does not burn. Behind the fire of the tree, he feels himself projected into a superior love that comes from above to deliver him a message, another vision of the world. The strength, the power, the radiance of this love coming from a superior world fill him with a fusion he did not know and which will touch him forever.

This experience represents one of the first great mysteries of his life: witness to this tree that burns without being consumed, he will understand later that his inner vision was opened for a few instants before what is luminous, essential, living. He thus entered the depth and subtlety of another world, coming out of the illusion of appearances and the surface of things.

"When I was only twelve years old, life opened for me a corner of the sacred veil that covers its mystery and it enabled me to contemplate, quite involuntarily, its kingdom of love, its land of Light and fire that shines beyond the forms perceptible by the physical senses. It was first of all a great astonishment, which translated into a kind of inner dulling of mind, because I was absolutely not prepared for such a perception. Of course, it was of great beauty, but it was also in total contradiction with all that I saw around me, the artificial kingdom that adults had built and in which I was living. I am sure that many are those who revolt against our society in whatever manner it may be and who have, at the origin, experienced a mystical experience, a realization. For my part, I was obliged to bury this experience inside me, to hide it, to put it to sleep, but with time, it found its way and developed until it became a veritable initiation, an illumination.
We are far from knowing earth and life in their entirety. Beyond the earth that we can apprehend through the senses of the physical body exists this land of Light and love that one can attain only through the opening of the senses of perception of the inner man.
This holy, original land possesses great similarities with the one we know, but it is hidden because humans are afraid of mystical experiences and they relegate them into their unconscious. If I had not practised many spiritual exercises after my vision of the tree on fire, I would surely have let this perception fall asleep, disappear into the nebulae of my memory."

This intelligence of fire is the bond with the mystery of God. Since the highest antiquity, all the great prophets have said it: "God is present in fire." And this love that illuminated him at that precise moment makes him become aware that earth is sacred, that the sacred is everywhere and that all men have for mission to carry inside them this consciousness.
It is thus that Olivier will begin to realize, despite his young age, that doubtless his future will not conduct him to conform to an ordinary life modelled on that of common mortals. With a certain hindsight, he will understand later to have benefited very young from the benevolent protection of Archangel Michael, the Archangel of fire, of the sun. Indeed, in the subtle worlds, Michael guided him, taught him, showing him the falsehood and illusion hidden behind a world that, by diverting true values, directed itself on the path of false light, taking all of humanity into an impasse, into an abyss.

This illumination, at twelve years old, is for Olivier subject to reflection, but he must nevertheless constrain himself to pursue schooling, pass his certificate and attempt training in electrotechnology to respond to the wishes of his mother, oriented towards studies. He then discovers the power of contradictory forces interposing themselves between his own desires and the acts he performs.
One day, he feels that this life experience touches his soul and his deep inner being. He understands that men carry inside them forces that come from the past, imposing them on future generations, but that an entire destiny can be changed if man refuses these forces and acts differently. Seeing himself constrained to position himself, he decides to reject the incoherence of this world false in his eyes and chooses to abandon definitively this path that is not his.

A long period follows in which thoughts of revolt and rebellion conduct him to be indignant about the ignorance of the majority of men, and he understands clearly that from this ignorance are born all evils. He understands that one who lives without his deep identity loses it. To find one's original nature again is to go to meet earth, air, the cycles of the seasons, water, warmth, the sun, it is to look at things with purity, with the vision of the child and to give meaning again to the sacred world that surrounds us.

Solitary captain on his ship, he decides to remain upright before the worlds of schooling, work and money of a society without soul and he will refuse to perform acts that do not correspond to what he is in reality.

"In my life experience, I have never worked for money. I tried when I was young, but I believe I lasted only one week, because I felt degraded. I refused and I lived for years without money, but I was happy because I was faithful to what I believed. I was in my prayers, my meditations, I was living in my world. I was a creator, a worker in joy and happiness because everything I was doing, I believed in it. It was true, and I was in accordance with my soul."

At the age of eighteen years old, seeking the way that is his, he directs his research towards the study of occultism, of esotericism. He does not know that an unforeseen and overwhelming encounter will orient his destiny.

"My first experience with Christianity had revealed itself to me, as a child, through this text of the little catechism. Before the rich man who had met the master, who had asked him great questions, but who had left again, I had felt very small and I had asked myself: 'If I meet such a man later, what will I do, will I be capable of following him?' I was unaware that I would find myself, a few years later, confronted with this encounter, not in the physical plane, but in my inner life, in my own consciousness, my own intelligence."
