„Biały kamyk” epifanii. Postsekularna mistyka Bez-gruntu i jej filmowe manifestacje przyczynek
The “White Stone” of Epihany. Post-secular Abgrund Mysticism and its Film Manifestations a Contribution

Summary/Abstract: A proposal of “re-deciphering” the event of kenosis interpreted by apophatic mysticism in the light of post-secular thought and in reference to the films: Camille Claudel, 1915, directed by Bruno Dumont, and Nic osobistego (Nothing Personal), directed by Urszula Antoniak. The described experience of the transmutation of human existence, manifested in transrational consciousness and linking the cogs of the “mysticism of the essence” and “erotic mysticism”, has a chance to guide beyond that which is binary, identical, and familiar. It could be said that a paradoxical encounter of the (essentially Judeo-Christian) “purging flame” with the (essentially Buddhist) “distancing, transparent mindfulness” can open up a register of a new, post-dogmatic “sacred time”. The transforming, ecstatic experience of death, comprehended as a process of stripping the subject of false cognitive constructs, the products of a fixation with “selfhood” (Selbstheit), is an essentially vital movement, setting free extra-intentional, selfless affirmation, “clear sight”, and existence within (divine) Abgrund.
