TOWARDS A DERRIDEAN SPIRITUALITY

Abstract

Indeed, each and every body is a letter, and a distinguishing sign for one who perceives, so that by their means one may recognise God and His enactments. Every letter is a wonder and a sign and a proof that instructs us as regards the effluence of the Name which causes dibbur [speech] to overflow through its means; and thus, the entire world and all years and all souls are full of letters. Abulafia, Sefer Otsar Eden Ganuz And the one who apprehends the contemplation of the letters will contemplate themas though they speak with him. Abulafia, Sefer ha-Chesheq Ce qui entame le mouvement de Ia signification, c'est ce qui en rend !'interruption impossible. La chose meme est un signe. J. Derrida, De Ia grammatologie L'ordre alphabetique est lui-meme aveugle, on ne peut lui faire confiance qu'en aveugle, par un acte de foi, meme si [ ... ] on ecrit pour lui rendre du sens et, si on peut dire, lui donner raison.
