ACAV offers an autonomous inner path: a structured process (measurement, reading, practice, adjustment) followed alone, without an intermediary or religious institution. The user remains solely responsible for their own progress; the site provides a theoretical framework (the invariant law P = E∞) and a progress index (Ω) rather than teaching delivered by a guide.

The ACAV path measures a spiritual quotient through two multiple-choice questionnaires, QS and EXA, whose score counts toward the overall Ω index from the very first attempt. The passing threshold is set at 70% correct answers, but the score counts even below that — nothing blocks progress.

The ACAV model offers one, in the form of the invariant law P = E∞ (Purity equals Infinite Energy) and its restatement D = E∞ · û. The argument: an invariant potential, identical for everyone, cannot logically arise from nothing — which points to a creative force or consciousness.

P = E∞ is the founding equation of the ACAV model: Purity (P) equals Infinite Energy (E∞), a potential constant over time and identical for all subjects. Every quantity in the model — including the Ω index — is normalized as a proportion of this potential.

Shabda (auditory contemplation) and Téjas (visual contemplation) are the two practice methods taught in the ACAV books to approach the Immutable, after the stage of interrelation. Their precise method is only revealed after passing the QS questionnaire, in the chapter “Receiving the Key.”

ACAV uses a single index, Ω (Omega), between 0 and 1, calculated from nine independent components: two questionnaires (QS, EXA), two readings (L1, L2), four levels of personal practice (P1 to P4), and a dietary choice. No incomplete component blocks the others — whatever is not yet done simply counts as zero.

Ω is the formula that summarizes the whole path: Ω = 0.12(QS+EXA+L1+L2+P1+P2+P3+P4) + 0.04·A = 1. Each component weighs 12%, except the dietary choice (4%); reaching Ω = 1 represents the full convergence of the path.

The first reading chapter (“Welcome,” L1) is fully accessible for free, as are the QS and EXA questionnaires. Other features, such as printing certain chapters or access to videoconferences with the founder, unlock after a free-will donation.

Alain Lortie, also known by the pseudonym Curseur, is the author of the books behind the ACAV path and the invariant law P = E∞. He was born on March 28, 1955, in Quebec City, Canada, and personally hosts the site’s public videoconference sessions.

No. ACAV takes place outside any religious or institutional framework, though certain terms in the model (Shabda, Téjas, samsara, maya, svastika) draw on ancient Hindu traditions, documented for reference in the site's glossary alongside their specific ACAV usage.

No overall time constraint is imposed: everyone progresses at their own pace. Only the four personal practice levels (P1 to P4) have their own target duration, tracked by a timer built into the app.

The Videoconference page offers a permanent Google Meet room, open to everyone after a free-will donation. The founder (Curseur) must be present to admit visitors: his upcoming availability is announced directly on that page.

No. An autonomous inner path is open to everyone: it can accompany a life of faith or be practiced independently of any belief. It requires no prior commitment and excludes no one; everyone progresses from their own experience.

Yes. Progressing autonomously means advancing by yourself, relying on reference points — readings, a progress framework — rather than on a guide's authority. Responsibility for the path rests with the person, at their own pace.

A regular practice of about twenty minutes a day is enough to begin a genuine path. Regularity matters more than duration: a few minutes every day is better than one long, occasional session.

Meditation mainly aims to calm the mind and train attention. Contemplation starts from that calm but adds a search for meaning: rather than simply observing, it seeks to understand and integrate what is being contemplated. Meditation prepares; contemplation deepens.

No. While contemplation has a long religious history, it is practiced just as well autonomously, without any particular affiliation or belief. It is above all a way of fully inhabiting attention and developing one’s inner life.

About twenty minutes a day is enough to begin a real practice. Regularity matters more than duration: a short daily moment beats one long, occasional session.

No. There is no scientific, experimental proof that would settle the question for everyone, in either direction. The question belongs to philosophy and metaphysics: what is put forward there are not laboratory proofs, but arguments and logical demonstrations, whose strength lies in their coherence.

The main ones are the cosmological argument (a first cause), the teleological argument (order suggests intention), the ontological argument (the idea of a perfect being would imply its existence), and the moral argument (objective values would call for a foundation). Each is debated among philosophers.

It does form a circle, but the objection assumes that proving something means following a straight line, from external premises to a conclusion. Yet nature knows no straight line: everything in it is cycle and relation. P = E∞ does not claim to deduce the Source from the outside, but to show the coherence of a whole that sustains itself. This is not a vicious circle — one that would merely repeat its conclusion — but the coherence of a system, which the reader remains free to judge.
