Summary/Abstract: The article defining spiritual experience, its dynamism and internal regularities has the ambition to contribute in an ample scientific discussion on possibilities of the communication of spiritual messages and experiences by means of media. In a discussion in progress, research of the forms is predominating, while the spiritual experience itself is evidently not clearly described and this term is often handled very polyvalently. The main definition of spiritual experience and possibilities of its communication is extended by description of its theological and theologal fundament, presenting God as a being, whose substance is the communication. Possibilities of communication of the religious experience are provided by the „speech of creation“, historical entrance of God into the human history, mainly into the israeli nation of the Old Testament. This means the „speech of events“, passing of the Word to human, who is „capax Dei“, but also „capax Verbi“, has appropriate organs of intrinsic senses („heart“ in its biblical meaning), and thus is tailored to the spiritual communication from his nature.
