“Why are we taken for \u00a0frightening crazy fools<\/a>?”<\/em> the mystics wonder. It\u2019s true that theses people may look frightening. Too many mystics look like nutcases. The most struck, moreover, are often the most powerful: those who levitate, heal, or walk on water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mystical, Illuminated<\/h4>\n

In this field, we confuse everything. And even when we want to show discernment, the argumants are poor and too superficial. “People who do not feel the presence of God often confuse mystical and enlightened, which for them is not really a compliment. Isn\u2019t the enlightened one who hears voices? Isn\u2019t he a bit schizophrenic? Isn\u2019t there someone who would be capable of killing in the name of God if the voices inspired him? Isn\u2019t he someone who seeks to be talked about by all means? Isn\u2019t the illuminated completely crazy?”<\/em> (Martine Charbonnel, Adventuress of God)\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Many are those who think so. Madness<\/a> scares, but not reason. And yet! Yet, if we take stock, reasoning has done us as much harm as madness. Otherwise more! How many wings has she broken, this reason that always allies itself with fear? How many Mozarts murdered by her hand?<\/p>\n

“Madness of the wise, wisdom of the foolish.<\/em>“<\/strong><\/span> (Idries Shah<\/a>, Learning to Learn)<\/p>\n

For those who seek inner light, they will have to face the guardian of the threshold. The guardian is fear.\u00a0 And the threshold is the last frontier of reason.\u00a0 When one reaches the threshold, one reaches the extreme limit of ordinary reality, governed by reason. Facing the guard is not falling into madness. Madness only leads to asylum, not to inner riches. One can cross the desert of madness, it is useful only if one comes out whole.<\/p>\n

From the man to the true man, the way passes by the crazy man. Psychology will never be able to tell the truth about madness, since it is madness that holds the truth of psychology.<\/p>
