Gartenfische, I must find out more about Keating. You’ve mentioned him several times on your blog and I’m always intrigued…

Thomas Keating also talks about the path to God being a spiral, not a staircase. It seems to me that you are already on the via creativa path, it’s just a matter of terminology.

Reading and reflecting on more Eckhart, though, those lines can't be drawn. I think you need the negativa, the void, for the creativa to come through. It's as natural and sublimely beautiful as breathing, in and out. :-) I took a single mysticism class in college, so I’m no expert… but my prof seemed to indicate that Dominicans (like Eckhart) were about the via negativa, or the apophatic way, while Fransiscans were more creativa/cataphatic.
