ABSRACTS For Part I: In the Catholic context, true mysticism requires supernatural origin. But the Church’s guidelines require a skeptical stance about direct divine causation unless reasonable confirmation is obtained. As material causes and human ones are both more knowable to us and more common, they must be considered and ruled out first, and then demonic sources, before a conclusion of...

‘… it is impossible for man to lose Transcendence without ceasing to be man.’ For Karl Jaspers, the central issues of philosophy are Transcendence and selfhood; for him, these are one and the same. In this book, Darius Samadian examines Jaspers’ ‘Philosophy of Existence’ in a new light by relating Jaspers’ philosophy to the mystical thought of Christian thinkers Meister Eckhart and Nicolaus...

In this article, I am pursuing a speculative hypothesis: the work of D.W. Winnicott is shaped by a deep transfeminine yearning that is revealed as mysticist discourse. The analysis of this transfeminine discourse offers insights into the inner workings of Winnicott’s thought, and the ways in which the feminine operated in her work, both in relationship to her adamant investment in the maternal,...

This study comparatively examines the foundations of Love in the mystical contemplations of Yunus Emre and Hafez. Despite their distinct geographical and cultural settings, both poets conceptualize Love as the ontological essence of existence and the ultimate source of divine truth. The article analyzes major themes, including the eternity and preexistence of Love, its role in cosmic creation,...

These diverse sources echo related ideas in a coherent way—uniquely...

Contemplative traditions often celebrate experiences of “pure” or non-dual awareness as insights into an ultimate reality beyond conceptual grasp. This paper offers a grounded alternative: such Bare Awareness or minimal-dual experiences are best understood not as ineffable metaphysical revelations, but as contingent phenomena constrained by procedural access (skills and practices) and...

Partindo da tese de que “Deus é liberdade”, este artigo desenvolve uma teologia fundamental de cunho místico-especulativo, em diálogo com a ontologia heideggeriana da transcendência e a mística trinitária de Mestre Eckhart. Argumenta-se que a liberdade, mais do que faculdade subjetiva, é estrutura ontológica de doação: êxtase que funda o ser, a Trindade e a relação. Por meio do método da...
