PHENOMENOLOGY OF VISIONS OF THE THEOTOKOS BY THE RUSSIAN AND SPANISH MYSTIC FR. JOHN
Abstract
In this work, the phenomenon of visions and mysticism of Fr. John (born 25.09.1946) is considered within the framework of religious studies, philosophy and psychology of religion. The aim of the work is to establish the structure of the phenomenon of Visions of the Theotokos, its deployment and movement. The method of investigation is suggested by the description of the experience given by Fr. John is in his works. The key concept of his diaries and books is the notion of an archetype, which is interpreted in the spirit of C. Jungs deep psychology. The possible and the real are considered as real, and the attribution to the objective or subjective level of reality is taken out beyond the brackets of the study. Such description includes a contradiction and is subordinated to the function that Ludwig Wittgenstein proposed: F(F), where F(?) = ?(?). This function remains unchanged in the modulus of the argument: F(F) = F(?) = |±?(?)| and corresponds to the description, whether it refers to a subjective or objective reality, but taken in its algebraic form it turns out to be flickering, including the break and the transition of the boundary: F(F), where F(?) = ±?(?).
