Mysticism is something we can and cannot talk about. It consists of remaining in the illusion and tension of paradoxes, especially the life-death paradox, through a repeat of the adolescence process Etty Hillesum situates at the onset of puberty. It references the primal, and one has to break away from it. This is especially the issue at stake in her encounter with her psychologist, Julius Spier, an encounter first eroticized in transgression, and then idealized and sublimated in their discovery of the capacity to be alone, to think, to dream, and to pray, for both of them, who were seekers of God. The mystical experience is said to be rooted in enjoyment, transgression, and death. “Everyday mysticism” can refer to the psychic economy of the subject in movements of libido hyper-investment, disinvestment, and investment in the everyday reality, which offers a renewed energy, for her the deepening and widening of the psychic and spiritual space, the concern for others, the mission to be accomplished, and witnessing. Such was the itinerary of Etty Hillesum, a mystic who kept “walking” towards death, survival, and whose experience is recorded in her Journal, Une vie bouleversée,written between 1941 and 1943, from Amsterdam to Auschwitz.
