THE ROLE OF NUMINOUS EXPERIENCE IN INDIVIDUATION

''In a letter to P.W. Martin, the founder of the International Study Center of Applied Psychology in Oxted, England, Jung confirmed the central significance of numinous experience in his life and work:


    It always seemed to me as if the real milestones were:
    certain symbolic events characterized by a strong
    emotional tone. You are quite right, the main interest
    of my work is not concerned with the treatment of
    neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous.
    But the fact is that the approach to the numinous
    is the real therapy and inasmuch as you attain to
    the numinous experiences you are released from the curse
    of pathology. Even the very disease takes on a numinous
    character.''



(from ''The Principle of Individuation, Toward the Development of Human Consciousness'' by Murray Stein)
