At the very moment when Christian mysticism is either collapsing or receding behind the walls of the monastic cloister,
an originally alien form of mysticism is increasingly becoming real to the Western mind, and is casting its spell upon a contemporary and seemingly post-Christian sensibility.
Above all, a Christ who even now is manifest in the preincarnate
form and epiphany of God, and who can be reached only by a total reversal of our history and experience, must be named as the Antichrist, as the dead and
alien body of the God who
originally died in Christ.
