Résumé
--
The third part of this study devoted to 'spiritual healing' presents one reading of the process of illness and healing through the stages that lead from suffering to the interiorisation of the awareness of life, at the very heart of the being's sensitivity. The analysis resumes with the aporia of suffering, in order to lay bare the specific nature of sensitivity as a privileged point of awakening to the awareness of life. The first decisive stage is that of empathy: it corresponds to the manner in which man, via the opening of his conscience, assumes the pace of existence. Here, life becomes manifest to man in the movement of pure opening through which the exteriorisation of the self in the world corresponds to the interiorisation of the world in the self. The second stage is that of compassion. Beyond empathy, there exists a more profound degree of interiorisation of the consciousness of life, which corresponds to the discovery of otherness at the heart of the apparently monolithic structure of the ego: compassion is the result of this relation being integrated into the dawning identity of personal awareness. A consciousness of the world and of the other opens up and deepens life gains increasing power of 'conversion' which is deployed toward all forms of duality. That force of conversion culminates in creative energy, thanks to a decisive deepening of awareness of compassion: this is what we call 'the compassion of Life for life', which deserves to be identified with what, in biblical tradition, is referred to as 'mercy'. With mercy, a deep reconciliation takes place in the consciousness of living creatures. At this point, the process of healing is almost complete, when the being has learned to transcend the judgement of death by overcoming, through the death of his own judgement, the despondency of a sentence that imprisons him in the memory of evil.
