Different state of perfectness. The priest from Ambricourt according to Bernanos and BressonIn the paper the author draws a comparison between Georges Bernanosʼ Journal d’un curé de campagne The diary of a country priest, and Robert Bresson’s adaptation of the book. The aim of the comparison is to show, how different artistic principles affected the way the holiness is presented. The author claims that it is not actually holiness, but a peculiar state, which Saint John of the Cross called Dark Night of the Senses. The paper represents fields of literary studies, and film studies.

El presente artículo es un análisis fenomenológico de la Subida del Monte Carmelo, cuyo propósito es mostrar que la Noche Oscura es una misteriofanía negativa que acoge tres sentidos. En primer lugar, San Juan de la Cruz llama Noche Oscura a la negación de los apetitos relativos a las potencias. En segundo lugar, la fe es Noche Oscura para el hombre, porque la donación de lo divino causa ceguera en el entendimiento. Finalmente, Dios es Noche Oscura para el hombre debido a que su manifestación es invisible. La intención de estas páginas es hacer algunas aportaciones a la fenomenología de la experiencia mística cristiana, cuyos conceptos fundamentales tienen un doble origen: la fenomenología contemporánea y la fenomenología de la religión y de la mística, desarrollada principalmente por la escuela española.This article is an original phenomenological analysis of the Ascent of Mount Carmel, whose purpose is to show that Dark Night is a negative mysteriophany, which implies three senses. First of all, Saint John of the Cross calls Dark Night the denial of the appetites of the faculties. Second, faith is Dark Night to humankind because the donation of the divine causes blindness in the understanding. Finally, God is Dark Night for men, because his manifestation is invisible. The intention of those pages is to make some contributions to phenomenology of Christian mysticism, whose fundamental concepts have a dual origin: contemporary phenomenology and the phenomenology of religion and mysticism, developed mainly by the Spanish school.

A major conceptual dynamic in all major religious traditions is the need for purification and transformation of the individual in order to effect integration and maturation of the personality in the divine. Although the means by which this purification takes place differs according to the cultural and religious configurations of any given tradition, nevertheless a recurring image is that of an inner and outer odyssey. A major example is the threefold path of John of the Cross, which presents a psycho-spiritual journey by which ‘divine osmosis’ can be realised, passing through the ‘dark night of the soul’, and culminating in ‘spiritual marriage’. Although not accepted by many theoreticians and practitioners of mysticism, nevertheless the value of the Sanjuanist schemata still holds sway in contemporary society.

The study of mysticism must be carried on with more attention paid to the meditative techniques used by mystics and to the problems of perception. In this paper the author presents some remarks on the difference between Saint Teresa and Saint John of the Cross, and then mentions some recent studies of meditation and some problems of perception. If meditative techniques have become of great importance in psychotheraphy, the organismic approach of the "mindcurers" and their results will permit us to complete phenomenological descriptions of mystic conscious states with more exact information of their physiological conditions. In this way "mystical experiences" in general can be seen as results of meditative techniques and we need not regard "an hysterical predisposition" of the subject as their necessary condition.
