Abstract
A duality based on her personality and her project coexisted in Teresa of Jesus. This duality is the origin of the later evolution (and misunderstandings) of the Order of Discalced Carmelite; especially in the male section. From Teresa as a hermit, who is introspective and nostalgic for the primitive Rule, to the active founder woman concerned about the missions and the salvation of souls. Juan de la Cruz would be placed in the wake of the “first Teresa” and Jeronimo Gracian in the “second one”. In this regard, two possible ways of Carmelo lived together in the life of Teresa of Jesus, but much creativity, inner plurality and energy were not available to everyone. The understanding between “the second Teresa” and Jeronimo Gracian, did it not promote a tendency in Discalced Carmelites that we could call “Discalced Jesuits”? In other words: apostolic/missionaries and contemplative/penitents at the same time.
