Bidden or Not Bidden God is Present C.G.Jung

What role does the numinous play in Jung's journey §to individuation? When does the journey begin? How §does the numinous interact with this journey over §the course of our lives? To answer these questions §we must cover a multipicity of subject matter. The §study of religion, the description of the numinous §experience,Jung's theory of individuation, the §relationship of mythology to numinous experience and §a description of the liminal spaces where the §numinous reveals itself to us. This book explores §the numinous experience of five individuals and §compares each experience to the descriptions of the §numinous of Rudolph Otto, C.G.Jung and William §James, then links the experiences to Jung's theory §of individuation. The numinous plays the following §role in Jung's journey to Individuation: provides §the initiation call;illuminates how the person needs §to grow and mature; moves the process forward when §the person seems unable to escape the chaos;brings a §time of chaos and reflection by initiating the §opposites that are needed for individuation to §occur; it has the seeds of its beginnings childhood §and it can present itself multiple times.
