‘La Spirale’:<\/span><\/p>\n

La voie emprunt\u00e9e par le mystique n’est pas une ligne droite. Nous ne terrassons pas les dragons les un apr\u00e8s les autres, proc\u00e9dant dans l’ordre chronologique vers l’accomplissement final.<\/p>\n

La voie emprunt\u00e9e par le mystique n’est pas un cercle, un circuit ferm\u00e9 et d\u00e9sesp\u00e9rant qui nous oblige \u00e0 revivre encore et encore les m\u00eames exp\u00e9riences.<\/p>\n

En fait, la voie emprunt\u00e9e par le mystique est une spirale: circulaire, mais avec des perspectives changeantes. Dans une spirale, nous pouvons revisiter des sc\u00e8nes du pass\u00e9, confronter de vieux dragons. Toutefois, \u00e0 chacun de nos retours, nous sommes des personnes diff\u00e9rentes\u00a0 venant d’un endroit diff\u00e9rent ; l’exp\u00e9rience n’est pas la m\u00eame.<\/p>\n

“Je reviens ici, mais c’est comme si c’\u00e9tait la premi\u00e8re fois !” Le mystique peut dire souvent ce genre de choses dans une spirale.<\/p>\n

Au lieu de terrasser de vieux dragons, il les regarde d’un \u0153il diff\u00e9rent.<\/em><\/p>\n

‘The Spiral Path’:<\/span><\/p>\n

The way of the mystic is not a linear path. We do not slay dragons one after the other, proceeding in a clear chronological line towards fulfilment.<\/p>\n

Neither is the mystic way a circle, a despairing and closed circuit in which we return again and again to the same experiences.<\/p>\n

Rather the way of the mystic is the spiral way – circular, but with ever-changing vistas. On the spiral way, we may visit old scenes, grapple with old dragons. But each time we return, we do so as different people and from a different place; the experience is not the same.<\/p>\n

“I am here again, but I have never been here before.” The mystic may often say things like that on the spiral way.<\/p>\n

Oh – and instead of slaying old dragons, they just view them differently.<\/em><\/p>\n
