초록

This paper examines Doris Lessing’s insight into sufi equilibrium in The Memoirs of a Survivor. Lessing uses sufi ideas to enhance the perception of human beings in support of her belief in the possibility of individual and world amelioration. These ideas are represented by a narrator in The Memoir of a Survivor, who comes and goes through an opening wall. The narrator sees other lives behind the wall, that consists of personal and impersonal scenes. The narrator and Emily, a character who just pops out from a room behind the wall, first experience crisis, anxiety and fear in an apocalyptic world, and then move into another order of world following a feminine deity. In like manner, Lessing expects that humans will participate in conscious evolution through imagining and apprehending a deity.
