<p>Où allez-vous lorsque vous voulez entrer en contact avec vous-même ? Que faites-vous lorsque vous voulez sentir la vie palpiter à l’intérieur de vous ? Allez-vous courir, peindre, danser, chanter, ou faire quelque chose qui vous pousse dans vos retranchements ? Essayez-vous une nouvelle expérience, ou revenez-vous à ce qui vous est familier ?</p>
<p>L’un des plus anciens débats en psychologie est celui de l’inné et de l’acquis. Les actions d’une personne sont-elles prédisposées par l’ADN, ou bien est-ce les expériences de vie qui exercent une influence durable sur notre comportement et nos décisions dans la vie ? Sommes-nous nés ainsi, ou sommes-nous devenus ainsi à cause de notre environnement ?</p>
<p>Et le débat va-t-il peut-être plus loin ? Sommes-nous simplement le produit de nos gènes et de notre environnement, ou y a-t-il un soi supérieur vers lequel nous pouvons tendre, totalement indépendant à la fois de nos instincts naturels et de notre passé ?</p>
<p>Dans la lecture de <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="39995">Torah</span> de cette semaine, <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="37397">Abraham</span> reçoit l’ordre de quitter tout ce qui lui est familier afin de trouver une partie plus profonde de lui-même.</p>
<p><i>« Pars de ton pays, de ton lieu de naissance et de la maison de ton père, vers la terre que Je te montrerai. »</i><a class="footnote_ref" href="javascript:doFootnote('1a6141917');" name="footnoteRef1a6141917">1</a></p>
<p>Les maîtres ‘hassidiques expliquent cela ainsi :</p>
<p><b><i>Erets</i></b>, le mot hébreu pour « terre », est étymologiquement lié au mot <i>ratsone</i> – volonté et désir ; donc <i>« ta terre »</i> se traduit également par « <span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="41905">tes</span> désirs naturels ».</p>
<p>Ton lieu de naissance, <b><i>moladetekha</i></b>, fait référence à l’influence du foyer et de la société.</p>
<p>Et <b><i><span class="glossary_item" glossary_item="41020">beth</span> avikha</i></b>, la maison de ton père, fait référence à l’homme en tant qu’être mature et rationnel, forgeant son état d’esprit, son caractère et son comportement au moyen de l’objectivité transcendante de l’intellect.</p>
<p>Tout comme une graine se développe en une plante florissante après s’être d’abord décomposée dans le sol, nous devons parfois quitter tout ce qui nous est familier – notre environnement naturel, nos réponses automatiques, nos inclinations habituelles, voire notre soi rationnel – pour atteindre un degré supérieur de développement. À l’écart des projecteurs et de l’observation des autres (et libérés de nos propres préjugés), nous découvrons le pouvoir sans limites d’un nouveau soi.</p>
<p>Laisser en arrière l’ancien soi, celui lié à tout ce que l’on connait et aime, peut paraître très effrayant. La graine enfouie profondément dans la terre semble se décomposer jusqu’à être réduite à néant. Mais, comme la graine, libérés de ces attentes limitatives, nous pouvons aussi produire notre meilleur rendement.</p>
<p>Vous voulez vous libérer des limites de l’inné et de l’acquis pour découvrir votre « moi » le plus élevé ? Choisissez <i>un</i> domaine pour vous libérer des attentes extérieures et intérieures afin d’atteindre un terrain inconnu – et un potentiel sans limites !</p>
