Le temps, le diable et le bon Dieu<\/p>\n

\"\"Par Michel Frankland<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Dans ce quatri\u00e8me article sur le temps dans les langues, nous \u00e9tendons notre analyse \u00e0 une dimension qui semble de prime abord sans relation avec ce sujet.
Il s\u2019agit ici du temps historique. Plus pr\u00e9cis\u00e9ment, en ce qu\u2019il met en sc\u00e8ne le seul combat de fond, celui qui oppose Satan au plan divin.
Une constante forme la base de notre propos. Le temps de Dieu diff\u00e8re du temps tel que manipul\u00e9 par Satan. Le temps de Dieu est progressif. Les heurts qui s\u2019y rencontrent visent \u00e0 renforcer les cr\u00e9atures. Mais de m\u00eame que J\u00e9sus affirme que son joug est doux \u00e0 porter et son fardeau l\u00e9ger, ainsi du d\u00e9roulement du temps dans sa fonction naturelle. Le philosophe chinois Lao Tseu l\u2019a pertinemment exprim\u00e9\u00a0: \u00abLa nature ne se presse pas. Pourtant, tout est accompli.\u00bb La v\u00e9g\u00e9tation en constitue le meilleur exemple. Un \u00e9rable prend des ann\u00e9es \u00e0 pousser. Sa croissance est progressive. Le temps qu\u2019il connote s\u2019av\u00e8re b\u00e9n\u00e9fique. Le temps est ici un compagnon silencieux et efficace. La langue de ce temps est le silence. Tout comme les mystiques nous r\u00e9p\u00e8tent que Dieu parle dans le silence. De meme, Charles Stanley\u00a0:
\u00ab God’s voice is still and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamor.\u00bb Ou alors, autour de l\u2019arbre, la langue symphonique des \u00e9l\u00e9ments de la nature\u00a0: chant des oiseaux, variations du vent dans ses branches, visites d\u2019autres animaux.<\/p>\n

Voyons en contrepartie le temps de Satan. Trois exemples viennent en t\u00eate\u00a0: Hitler et Staline. Sous leur r\u00e8gne, le temps est massacr\u00e9 de plusieurs fa\u00e7ons. D\u2019abord, le temps se trouve raval\u00e9 au service d\u2019une id\u00e9ologie. Il n\u2019existe plus pour ainsi dire. La langue dictatoriale se r\u00e9f\u00e8re \u00e0 un temps fictif. Chez les marxistes staliniens, c\u2019est LE GRAND SOIR. Chez Hitler, le r\u00e8gne nazi devait s\u2019\u00e9tendre sur une dur\u00e9e symbolique de 1000 ans.
Ainsi, temps et langue perdent simultan\u00e9ment leur fonction naturelle sous la botte du pouvoir. Car il ne s\u2019agit plus de l\u2019\u00e9panouissement de chaque vivant selon son temps int\u00e9rieur. Si bien que la trinit\u00e9 heureuse du vivant, de sa langue et de son temps disparait, dissoute dans le flot acide et destructeur des dictats des potentats.
Les images m\u00eames de l\u2019id\u00e9ologie r\u00e9gnante expriment cette d\u00e9naturalisation. La croix gamm\u00e9e est justement une croix quadruplement bris\u00e9e. La faucille et le marteau pourraient nous laisser croire \u00e0 un retour aux activit\u00e9s naturelles de la menuiserie et de l\u2019agriculture. Mais l\u2019histoire nous rappelle l\u2019horreur de la collectivisation des terres et du massacre des Koulaks, masses paysannes qui constataient l\u2019\u00e9vident disfonctionnement de la d\u00e9sappropriation. Bref, raval\u00e9 au service de l\u2019id\u00e9ologie, le temps s\u2019\u00e9crase alors sous la langue de la propagande. Les haut-parleurs des discours hitl\u00e9riens ou des t\u00e9nors du Grand Soir rappellent les bruits d\u00e9sagr\u00e9ables et haineux qu\u2019on entend dans les corridors des prisons.
Enfin, un dernier trait de la relation temps-langue du mens dictatorial\u00a0: le temps y est perverti par la langue du mensonge. Les envol\u00e9es rageuses du racisme SS, les tromperies sur les taux r\u00e9els de production qui traversaient verticalement toute la hi\u00e9rarchie bolch\u00e9vique traduisaient leur plan quinquennal par une langue imp\u00e9rieuse \u2013 double massacre du temps naturel et de la langue.
Concluons avec une notion fondamentale, celle du mythe. Chaque civilisation, de m\u00eame que chaque religion ou philosophie r\u00e9sume son approche par un mythe. Ce concept n\u2019est en soi ni positif ni n\u00e9gatif. Il s\u2019av\u00e8re positif lorsque temps et langue y trouvent leurs fonctions naturelles, \u00e0 la foi conforme aux rythmes biologiques, au temps qui porte vers la croissance et \u00e0 une langue qui traduit ces r\u00e9alit\u00e9s fondamentales. Mais les mythes dictatoriaux, nous l\u2019avons observ\u00e9, \u00e9touffent temps, rythmes naturels et langue. John Kennedy note que le grand ennemi de la v\u00e9rit\u00e9 est le mythe persistant, envahissant et irr\u00e9aliste des dictatures.
Sym\u00e9triquement, ce que le temps de Satan nous enl\u00e8ve en d\u00e9sorganisant nos ressources int\u00e9rieures pour mieux nous subvertir, c\u2019est celui, tel que consid\u00e9r\u00e9 plus haut, o\u00f9 temps et langue du silence se compl\u00e8tent en secret. Silence ? Oui, mais Einstein le nom autrement, et mieux \u00a0: \u00abHe who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.\u00bb La langue de Dieu est silence ; son temps, l\u2019\u00e9ternit\u00e9. Et le propre du temps humain r\u00e9side dans la langue silencieuse de la contemplation dans le temps \u00e9ternel du P\u00e8re.
Le cinqui\u00e8me article sur le temps et les langues r\u00e9servera \u00e0 certains des surprises. Nous nous situerons beaucoup plus proches de nous\u2026

Argument<\/strong>\u00a0: le temps divin est interpersonnel, loin du pouvoir, humble et g\u00e9n\u00e9reux\u00a0; le temps de Satan parle de pouvoir\u00a0: pour soi-m\u00eame, sans limite ou celui de l\u2019\u00c9tat, \u00e9galement sans limite.<\/p>\n
