Summary/Abstract: The article describes the action of the Holy Spirit within a human being − through the intellect and beyond the intellect. Describes the three experiences of the Carmelite saints: M. Magdalena de Pazzi (16th c.), Maria Baouardy (19th c.) and Edyta Stein (20th c.). The first two suffered from temporal diabolical oppressions. The author of the text explains that at some moments God may suspend human reason to protect a person on the spiritual plane. The hardest experiences − if they are lived with God − allow us to come to a deep unity with Him, to the transforming unification.
