Key points Argues, drawing on Xavier Zubiri's philosophy, that religious experience consists primarily of an intellective, probing march toward the "foundation" of the "power of the real," grounded in "religation" rather than religion. The author proposes that human personal life is a process of "deiformation," meaning being real in God.

Abstract

In the present work, the author reflects on the religious experience and, in particular, about the experience that man has of God as the “foundation” of the “Power of the real”, from the philosophical perspective of Xavier Zubiri. After briefly outline the concept of experience in some milestones of philosophy, we address three issues: 1. the theological problem of man, 2. experience as physical probation of reality and, 3. the religious experience as a person’s conformation into something absolute. It is a matter, then, of showing how by virtue of religation, not of religion, religious experience consists primarily of an intellective march towards the “foundation” of the “power of the real”, like a probing march, “groping”, with a view to the configuration and realization of the person in something absolute. Human personal life is nothing other than a deiformation, (being real in God) process.
