Аннотация: ISSN 2367-5659AbstractThe problem of dreams and visions, their relation to the mystic is a mainstream since the beginning of psychoanalyses and depth psychology. ‘Visions of the Theotokos’ by the Russian and Spanish mystic Fr. John (Veniamin Yakovlevich Bereslavsky) were examined from the point of view of the tradition of Christianity, Gnosticism and Bogomilism, as well as from the point of view of the tradition of Russian religious philosophy. In this work, the phenomenon of ‘visions’ and mysticism of Fr. John (born 25.09.1946) is considered within the framework of psychology and philosophy. The aim of the report is to establish the structure of the phenomenon of ‘Visions of the Theotokos’, its deployment and movement.The method of investigation is suggested by the description of the experience given by Fr. John in his works. The first key concept of his diaries and books is the notion of a ‘libido’, which is interpreted in the spirit of S. Freud’s psychoanalysis. The second key concept of his diaries and books is the notion of an ‘archetype’, which is interpreted in the spirit of C. Jung’s deep psychology. The historiography of the notion of an archetype allows us to establish that it is a matter of various depths and levels of experience, their intertwining. These levels are: everyday, personal, and archetypal. Considering the interweaving and the manifestation of visions, we must adhere to a kind of ‘phenomenological reduction’, namely, the reduction of facts to phenomena. Consequently, the distinction between history and psychology is lost. This is a forced measure, but since there is no way to ascertain the facts, they should be reduced to phenomena. It is necessary to consider historical events as possible, without raising the issue of their actual verification, in spite of the detailed biographical description. The possible and the real are considered as real, and the attribution to the objective or subjective level of reality is taken out ‘beyond the brackets’ of the study.Such description includes a contradiction and is subordinated to the function that Ludwig Wittgenstein proposed: F(F), where F(ξ) = – ξ(ξ). This function remains unchanged in the modulus of the argument: “F(F) = F(ξ) = |±ξ(ξ)| = Const" and corresponds to the description, whether it refers to a subjective or objective reality, but taken in its algebraic form it turns out to be ‘flickering’, including the break and the transition of the boundary. Key words: visions, dream, structure, transformation.
