EXPERIENȚA MISTICĂ – FORMĂ DE EXPRIMARE A LIBERTĂȚII SPIRITULUI ȘI A CUNOAȘTERII ÎN ȘI PRIN IUBIRE

Abstract

The Mystical Experience – A way of Expressing the Freedom of Spirit and Knowledge in and Through Love.

The mystique is a way of existence and knowledge that reveals the possibility of a relationship between the human consciousness and the Absolute. During the mystical ecstasy, the mystery of the Supreme Being is revealed, and the union with it takes place. The mystical union is hard to describe in precise terms, henceforth the difficulty the mystics  face when they attempt to develop their experience rationally. Because it’s an union based on love, it’s hard to conceptualize. The mystical knowledge is placed beyond what the language can describe, it remains foreign to the common experience and it can hardly be described in words that hold a well determined significance. The mystical  language is, at many times, allusive, ineffability being a general characteristic of the mystical experience. The mystical experiences can be especially overwhelming, because they sometimes create a huge discrepancy with the values and concrete realities of day-to-day life. However short and rare they are, their transforming potential is great and  they significantly improve the life and personality of those who experience the liberty of opening gates of perception that are inaccessible to most.
