Summary/Abstract: The article is dedicated to description of virtual reality of «my light» which is present and implicitly created in the situation of real-time communication. Phenomenological approach to language opens for linguists a prospect of acquaintance with virtual reality embodied in a living word, «mine» for the speaker. Having no external reference, «here»-reality postulated by the speaker is unquestionable for him and has the characteristic of authenticity. An attempt is made to outline phenomenological parameters and note the paradoxical nature of the reality of «my light». In particular, its phenomenality is noted – impossibility of existence by itself, separately from a person (the paradox of unreal reality); legitimacy as a key condition for the presence of «non-existent structures» of virtual reality; correspondence with the phenomenon of possession – power, which is considered as the antithesis of possession; hieroglyphic character, opposed to semiotic expression and representation of objects (phenomena) of objective reality; pre-predicative apriority («ineffability») and obvious certainty. «My light» has an ethical character and acts as a source of confidence and meanings for the speaker. Conventional institutes and existing institutions of knowledge in this field give way to paradoxical experience of knowing the obvious reality by verbal art. Non-discursive experience of creative cognition does not have access to the sphere of linguistic forms and paradigms, however, it receives a logistic embodiment in a word that sounds in real time. It is the task of phenomenological linguistics to learn the motives and reflexes of invaluable experience of a person’s encounter with genuine reality, embodied in a living word. Phenomenological approach to language supplements the existing language paradigms with logistic fundamentals and principles characteristic of phenomenology.
