There arethree initiatory modes of the meeting allowing love .
The best isa sudden emptiness of the soul in which the images disappear, ideas and words are silent, freedom and clarity open up suddenly within us in such a way that our whole being is seized. Everything becomes prodigious, deep, evident in what is distant and infinite incomprehensible. This contact is a pure breath of intelligence .
A way more ordinary crosses the desert in which, although we can't see anything, understand nothing, feel nothing, otherwise a kind of pain and anguish, we are drawn and dwell in this darkness and this aridity because it is only there that we find a little stability and peace. As we progress, we learn to rest in this arid quietude, and the soothing assurance of a comforting presence and powerful at the heart of this experience is growing more and more. Reveals in a light which is painful for our nature and all its faculties in walk of being, the hard-to-sustain attraction of becoming much more than what that we seem to be. We are then infinitely surpassed and the purity of this attraction conflicts with our selfishness, our blindness and our imperfection .
And then there ison the way to tranquility full of flavor, of rest and sweetness in which, without there being nothing that satisfies especially the senses, l’imagination et l’intelligence, the will rests in a deep, luminous and absorbing experience of love .
It is then that raise before you the Person, ce support, this soul mate, this mirror, this otherness, this extraction out of its own image, this requirement to resemblance, what I exist for in the encounter, what i can do drown and that by which I may also be revealed. Place your bets, do your “is”, necessarily in relation to the other, trying However, do not get too attached to the other .
