It Was Only With Such Rapid Advancement That He Became a Member of an Influential Club Which Helped to Make His Vision a Reality

 126 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 18th of February 1896
Surrealist writer André Breton aka The Father of Surrealism is born in Tinchebray, Basse-Normandie, France.

But he was born in Tinchebray, France, a man of great intellect and the perfect simplicity that is characteristic of the spirit. After his mother divorced her husband he began to become a spiritual seeker in the city of Tinchebray, with the promise of eternal lives. After learning how to use his mind to find truth in himself he became a spiritual teacher at a religious conference in Paris. As a young man, he took a course under the supervision of the physician Dr. G. Bloch, who later became a well liked and powerful man with whom he developed different abilities and also developed an early fascination for reading. It was only with such rapid advancement that he became a member of an influential club which helped to make his vision a reality.
Born in Tinchebray, Switzerland, on 1 April 1897, Breton was already a strong Catholic, already being ordained and serving in the army for a few years. Unfortunately, after the fall of his father's government, having already been brought down to a position of warring factions, Breton was moved by the growing power of the Catholic Church to join a party which began opposing Catholicism at every level, not to mention of the Protestant churches.
