Summary/Abstract: For the mystic who is about to fully experience the numinous, the state of expectancy as a state of precedence of the full encounter with the numinous will impose a discovery mystic’s own self, through interpretation, of an ambiguity as a language of addressing the numinous towards a presence of the Other through the sign. Since the sign is not generated and pre-formed by the mystic, it means that it is received from the numinous for the construction of a subsequent relationship. In the process of addressing the numinous, a nuance of addressing is introduced by substituting the sign with a foreign sign in the form of a metaphor through which the ambiguity of the sign becomes precisely the naturalness of the numinous necessary for the transmission of messages. The relationship will, however, be in the form of a metacommunication that will aim at opening a spatiality of relationship with the numinous.
