From the Early Christians to Christopher Nolan. What if the famous Magic Square Sator, engraved two millenia ago on the walls of Pompeii shortly before the eruption of Vesuvius, attributed to the Early Christians, and the inspiration for Christopher Nolan's film Tenet, released in 2020, had been announcing the troubled and decisive times we are living? Sator, Arepo, Tenet, Opera, Rotas: a 25 letters mandala of which numerous versions dot ancient, medieval or modern Europe, and a two thousand years old mystery. Like a living heart where ancient traditions and religions converge with contemporary discoveries in physics, such as the reversibility of Time and the question of Artificial Intelligence, the Magic Square takes us through the arcane of the Tarot, Gnosis, Hebrew Wisdom and their links to Egypt, Christian Mysticism and the Renaissance. It also allows us to decipher for the first time the work of Christopher Nolan, also director of The Prestige, Batman, Interstellar, Inception and Oppenheimer. In the center of the Sator Square, a cross is formed by Tenet, the name of the director of the CIA at the time of September 11, 2001. Space and Time, Eternity, the destiny of Human kind, its quest for freedom are simultaneously hidden and revealed in the Sator Square, as well as C.G.Jung's necessary reconciliation of the opposites at the crossing point between the Pisces era and the Aquarian era we are encountering. "We live in a twilight World" is the device of Tenet. But the Sator Square also announced us the dawn of a new one.

In 2112, dystopia is upon us, and the United Nations Authority is trying to stop energy and technology behemoth GIATCOM from destroying society once and for all. At the vortex of this futuristic struggle is twenty-first-century inventor Dr. Ben Richards, who created a way to harness wind power, a clean and renewable energy that could have changed the course of humanity if he hadn't died under mysterious circumstances. The UNA determines that keeping Richards alive in 2017 is key to saving the world from becoming a nuclear wasteland. Meanwhile, GIATCOM is using every method at its disposal, including enhanced humans and android doppelgangers, to thwart that effort and capture Richards for its own purposes, setting up an epic battle between future powers in the past.

An independent research opens a revolutionary perspective in the history of religions and sheds new light on the still unexplained emergence of the buddhist Great Vehicle in the 1st century CE, demonstrating the influence of the early Christians, in the strongly hellenized area of the Kushan Empire (China, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir, Northern India), heir of Alexander's conquests on the Silk Road, where Greek and Aramaïc were the two main languages currently spoken and written. Two millenia ago, the simultaneous spread of Christianity in the West and the Middle East, and Mahayana Buddhism in the East redrew the World map, but could it be only coincidence? Why did new sutras emphasizing compassion, devotion, voidness, sacrifice and universal salvation emerge in the first decades of our era in the Buddhism of the Origins? Why did, at the same time as Greek-Buddhist art, a 'Western triad' of buddhas appear in Gandhara, composed by a buddha of infinite light, Amitabha, a white bodhisattva of compassion, Avalokiteshvara, the Tibetan Chenrezig, emanated out of Infinite Compassion by the later, and a third one, bringer of power and inspiration, Mahasthamaprapta? Did Zoroastrism and Mithraism played a role in this spiritual revolution and why are some Gnostic texts of Nag-Hammadi so close to the Mahayanist cosmogonies, notions and terms? Furthermore, the sudden and abundant literature and iconography of the Great Vehicle, saw in the same years the appearance of a messianic buddha, Maitreya, of a feminine and salvific figure, embodiment of Wisdom, the Prajnaparamita, that would become Târâ, and of the Western Paradise of the Pure Land, making them very close. In this new turning of the wheel of Dharma, the bodhisattva renouncing Nirvana and sacrifying himelf to free the whole of Humanity kind became the ultimate value. Here are some of the interrogations, among many others, raised by this research and answered in a way never done before.

He explores the history and uses of the slangs and argots of schools and trades. He traces the centuries-old cants used by sailors and criminals in Britain, among them Polari, the mix of Italian, Yiddish, and slang once spoken among strolling players andcircus folk and taken up by gays in the twentieth century. He examines the sacred languages of ancient cults and religions, uncovers the workings of onomancy, spells, and gematria, looks into the obliqueness of allusion and parody, and celebrates the absurdities of euphemism and jargon.Secret Language takes the reader on fascinating excursions down obscure byways of language, ranging across time and culture.
