Two mystical pleas for the «no pensar nada»: the Third Spiritual alphabet (1527) and the Law of love (1530) by Francisco de Osuna A mystic principle rooted in negative theology (from Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite to Saint John of the Cross), the « no pensar nada » ("thinking-nothing") was strongly defended by Franciscan preacher and spiritual guide of the « Recollection », Francisco de Osuna, in a context of spiritual polemics marked by the condemnation of Toledo's « Alumbrados » ("the Illuminated") in 1525. Despite the Holy Office's strong pressure, and the threat of censorship, Osuna openly advocated the « thinking-nothing » principle in a chapter of the Third Spiritual Alphabet (1527), then in the Fourth Spiritual Alphabet also entitled the Law of love (1530). We intend to read and comment these two mystic pleas as meaningful examples of mystic writings under coercion.
