Tożsamość osoby ludzkiej w doświadczeniu mistycznym

Abstract

The article presents the identity, so the unity of human person in mystical unification. A human aspiring to the unity with God receives internal harmony of sensory and spiritual actions. There is a process of purification, so called the darkness night, which is not only the separation from sensual goods but also from the spiritual ones. It is to eliminate all obstacles in the meeting with God. Even though in the darkness night people feel internal breaking, by the action of God their powers are ordered and harmonized in their action to achieving a determined goal. The integration of both sensual and spiritual sphere consolidates and deepens with achieving the perfect unification with God. All moves of these spheres are only based on God, experienced by spiritual powers. The internal transformations are also the object of psychological experience in the negative dimension (emptiness, despair, suffering ) and in the positive one (love, quiet, harmony). This psychological description which has been described by John of the Cross makes its doctrine show existential and practical character. At the same time it is theological attitude to this process, (mainly thomistic) used in the description of mystical life which is at present of increasing interest.
