Summary/Abstract: The article presents some reflections and thoughts of a contemporary Polish theologian, art historian and poet, Janusz Stanislaw Pasierb (1929−1993), concerning the Man-God relationship. In the pages of his masterpieces, especially those poetic, the author records the history of meetings between God and human beings; the history of departures, returns, visitations, sudden revelations, and indeed meditative concentration. It can all be perceived – and so it has been done – in the categories of mystique, which features mankind’s “breaking through” into the light of God’s presence. According to the intellectual and priest from Pelplin, a human being, as well as the world and reality – at least to some degree – seem to be rooted in a mystical experience, discovered to be the sanctified space of a potential contact with the transcendental Creator.
