Les Philosophes de la Nature
In 1995, a controversial parliamentary commission of the National Assembly of France on cults produced its [http://www.assemblee-nationale.fr/rap-enq/r2468.asp report]. The report included Les Philosophes de la Nature as a sectarian movement of between 50 and 500 adepts.
In 1999, the association was legally dissolved since Dubuis said that it had strayed from its core principles. The sister organization in the United States was also disbanded, and all further dissemination of material continued online.
Later works
In his final years, Dubuis focused his works on electronic devices to achieve initiation.
The last lecture on electronic devices was given in September 2004 in French.{{Cite web|url=http://www.gouttelettes-de-rosee.ch/medias/files/confe-rence-j.-dubuis-2004.pdf|title=Archived copy|access-date=2020-10-13|archive-date=2020-10-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201013033309/http://www.gouttelettes-de-rosee.ch/medias/files/confe-rence-j.-dubuis-2004.pdf|url-status=live}} Dubuis explains the different sound frequencies to use for initiation.
