At a time when our world is deeply divided about the mainstream secular and major religious denominations it is good to question the nature of religious experience. experiences of a religious form the basis of all our faiths. They were echoed by generations of believers, codified by bodies of power, which all have in common have been the economy from direct experience.
In search of meaning, Marie Louise von Franz reminds us that
"When the religious experiences is due at someone, it has, of course, an absolute value for him. And if the person realizes that this experience is his personal quest meaning, she will accept that God or the numinous can manifest itself in a thousand other forms because it is in reality the impenetrable who shows us through the prism of the human soul, speaking by pictures and talking to us as myths. It is impossible to know, at least in this lifetime, it is in itself. Therefore he who was the receiver of such an experience would claim never spread as truth for everyone. "
Psychotherapy, p163
A good lesson in humility that I wish to share with you.
