Summary/Abstract: The essay discusses the structure of the postmodern world and the possibilities of its expression in conditions where the world itself and the language of the world are no longer near and close. Thus divinity in the postmodern world appears as a kind of «dwelling» in a language in which God´s inexpression and immeasurability actually reveals His existence and His greatest potential. In this sense, the metaphor becomes the «highest» metaphysics, the «method» of mysticism, in which different religious cultures and traditions define their contents.
