Summary: | Juan Ramón Jiménez’s poetry represents a unique form of religious poetry. In Juan Ramón’s poetic work, there is an indication of an evolutionary development toward God. There is a God in reality. He does not exist outside of the world but within it. Throughout his poetry, Juan Ramón simultaneously connects pantheism and mysticism. In other words, it is not concerned with a universal and abstract concept of divinity. Ultimately, it seeks to understand his personal experience of God. This experience can only be accessed by removing all artificial notions invented and added to the original encounter with God. His primary and personal experience of the divine is embodied in his awareness of beauty. God exists within consciousness; in fact, he is consciousness. Therefore, God exists both within and outside of the poet’s consciousness. |
