Mystics and prophets Two religious identities

Abstract
The phenomenology of religion differentiated two basic types of religious experience: the mystical, which seeks an intimate communion with the sacred, and the prophetic, moved by a spirit of transformation of history. From the field of psychoanalysis, these two basic attitudes of the religious seem to be closely related to the origins of religious experience and its links with the maternal (in the mystical experience) and with the paternal (in the ethical and prophetic projection). But both dimensions of religious experience are intimately linked to each other. There is no authentic mysticism if it does not lead to an ethical and prophetic commitment, nor is it possible to think of a prophecy that is not nourished by a deep connection with the sacred. The study analyses and compares both religious identities and shows their mutual psychodynamic and theological implications.
