Abstract
Mystical experience refers to a kind of intuitive-occult experience completely beyond the reach of the mystic-subject. Hence, the mystic is unable to fully perceive it and to repeat its quality. This inability is not merely caused by the inexpressibility and the transcendental quality of the intuitive experience, but by the semantic system governing the intuitive event and then by its narration in the language of the mystic-subject. The semantic system governing the intuitive event is based on coincidence, confronting the subject with a stressful environment and occasion without any plan or presupposition. The semantic system of coincidence is one of the four semantic systems of Landowski, which is consistent with the quality of mystical and intuitive experience along with the narrative of this experience in the mystic-subject’s verbal and non-verbal language. Based on the semantic system of coincidence, in the continuous course of life, the mystic-subject suddenly encounters an unknown and extrasensory experience, fundamentally different from the program-oriented rules of the ordinary life and affecting him in two compressive and expansive dimensions. He is not only surprised while encountering an intuitive experience, but also finds the linguistic rules insufficient for reporting its quality. Thus, the subject will produce a new form of language and meaning with his verbal and non-verbal language owing to this coincident and stressful process.
