approved by the constitutive assembly of July 24, 2003.
An association, governed by the French law of July 1st 1901 and the decree of August 16, 1901, is founded by the persons who adhere to the present statutes.
Name of the association : Mouvement international pour une écologie libidinale (International movement for a libido ecology.)
Shortened name : M.I.E.L. (I.M.L.E.)
Considering
that the neuroses, widely spread among the population, are causes of depressions, difficulties of communication, irrational behaviors and of a poor aptitude to autonomy, involving conflicts in particular within the families and within the professional framework, and more generally in the operation of the society and can therefore be qualified as a social plague,
that damages to the environment result in particular from neurotic behaviors and from an anthropocentric view of the world, devaluing the body (refusing the animal part),
that the existing education system in the "industrialized" countries excessively supports the development of the intellect and the reasoning, to the detriment of creativity, intuition and expression of the feelings, as well as to the detriment of the sensory and body capacities,
our association decides to pursue the following objectives:
the prevention of neuroses, in particular by fighting against any form of repression of the feelings, of the expression of the feelings and of sexuality,
the revalorization of the body compared to the spirit and the restoration of the possibilities of development of the psychic and body potentialities of any individual as well as the freedom of circulation of his energies,
the reinforcement of an ecologist perception of the relationship between man and nature, while stressing the identity between the energy of live and the vital energy of each individual,
in particular by the following measures:
Shortened formulation of the aim: to prevent the neuroses in order to allow each individual to develop his psychic and body capacities and in order to improve the social relations, as well as promoting a view of mankind as an integral part of nature.
