Na rede com o amado: aproximações da mística de Ernesto Cardenal

Abstract

The objective of this work is to present approaches to te mystique of Ernesto Cardenal, a man who is also a poet, a mystic, a revolutinary and a priest. It intends to show that this autor’s mystical visión encompasses unión and eroticism. It approaches the friendship with Thomas Merton and its consequences, the creation and destruction of Solentiname, the homilies of the Gospel built there, which, linked to the ideas of Liberation Theology, were an important instrument of awareness of the inhabitants of that place and contributed greatly to the participation these in the Revolutionary movement that took place in Nicaragua and ended the Somoza dictatorship. The objective was to show that many features of the mystique of the beginning are present in the visión that mystic has. In order to show that this unitive song cannot be sung without the note of eroticism, because it is a striking feature in Ernesto’s life and written production, it is presented in Ero’s relationship in the life of this man, in the language he uses and in the mystique he uses builds. In this way, it can see that the erotic-cosmic song he built points to the fact that if it learns to see the interconnection between all the elements of the cosmos, which takes place through love and copulation, it will see the face of God and it will buil His Kingdom here and now. For that, it is enough that the men reléase themselves from the bonds of the ego and open their eyes.
