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.
