Summary/Abstract: According to Lucian Blaga, the unconscious spatial horizon “reaches, with its undulations, up under the arches of consciousness.” Blaga calls this process “personance” (personanţă), i.e. something that is done by resounding and determines “the vibrations of the consciousness.” Between all these, “chords” or “discords” may occur. This is the moment, at least terminologically, when can be established the connection with Vasile Conta’s theory of undulation, and with Constantin Noica’s considerations about wave, and even with Ştefan Odobleja’s logics of resonance.
