Excerpt: ... say that all such experiences must be hallucinatory. The logical implication of a thorough-going theory of hallucination is that only sense impressions are possible to men, although these may be either true or false. By definition a hallucination is a "perception of objects with no reality, or experience of sensations with no external cause." To explain all experiences in which men have felt that they have come into immediate contact with God as hallucinations is equivalent to saying either that there is no God who can come into immediate contact with men, or that if there is a God he does not come into immediate contact with men. In other words, if there is a God who comes into immediate contact with men, then some of these experiences are not hallucinations. It may be pointed out in this connection that the conclusion arrived at by very careful and critical treatment of the results of the only extensive census of hallucinations ever made was that hallucinations of the presence of human beings were "veridical," i. e., correspond to some demonstrable fact, 440 times as often as they might be expected to do on the laws of chance. This should be kept in mind in forming a final judgment as to the explanation of the phenomena we are investigating.29 B. Psychological Theories. 1. Automatisms: Self-hypnosis: Extatic Intoxication. The consideration of the theory of hallucination leads by a natural and easy transition to the consideration of the first of the definitely psychological theories in explanation of such experiences as we are studying, the theory of automatisms. The theory of automatisms underlies most of the other psychological explanations and itself leads easily to, and to some extent implies, theories of the subconscious. Coe gives...

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1920 edition. Excerpt: ... THE ECSTASY Ijt the preceding chapter we studied the two preliminary stages of the more extreme form of mysticism DEGREES-- the "purgative" and the "jlluminative" or " meditativBK DEGREES stages as they are called by the systematizers -- and at last we have reached theJthixd or " unitive " stage, the goal of all the mystic's painful preparation. This third stage is both a kind of experience and a kind of life. In this latter sense it is described thus by Ribet: "Finally, love becomes dominant and is unified with the divine good will. The soul cares less about avoiding hell and gaining heaven and more about pleasing her well-beloved. Her desire is to free herself from all that is not God, and even to quit the world and life in order to enjoy the presence of God fully and indissolubly." 1 While the third stage of the mystic progress is for many a mystic, and especially for the greatest, a life rather than particular experience, it involves for all mystics a special type of experience which because of its striking character is regarded as the mystic state par excellence and which distinguishes it more, perhaps, than anything else from the life of the ordinary moral and religious but non-mystical individual. This experience is commonly known as the ecstasy DEGREES and I shall regularly use this term to designate it.2 It usually makes its first appearance at the beginning of the " mystic life" and re- DEGREES appears from time to time, being perhaps both partial cause and partial result of that new way of living. This, however, is not the universal rule; some attain to the mystic life with no such extreme experience, and many taste the experience but are unable to fill their lives with the mystic spirit and let it domi 1 " La Mystique Divine," Vol. I, p. 16. 2 The...

Download or read book The Image of God and the Psychology of Religion written by Richard L Dayringer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the implications of a client’s image of God? Improve your confidence—and your practice skills—by enhancing your knowledge of how individuals are likely to perceive God, and of how those perceptions impact the way they function as human beings. Theologians have long speculated and theorized about how humans imagine God to be. This book merges theology with science, presenting empirical research focused on perceptions of God in a variety of populations living in community and mental health settings. Each chapter concludes with references that comprise an essential reading list, and the book is generously enhanced with tables that make data easy to access and understand. “Liberating Images of God” discusses the constriction and impoverishment of God images due to the traditional restrictions of God images to those that are male and personified. This chapter examines the potential for the client and counselor’s co-creation of images of God which embrace the feminine as well as the masculine, the nurturer as well as the warrior, and the natural world in all its dimensions as well as the human world, to liberate, enrich, sustain, and transform the client’s relationships with God and with him/herself. “Attachment, Well-Being, and Religious Participation Among People with Severe Mental Disorders” examines the relationship between attachment states of mind and religious participation among people diagnosed with severe mental illness. “Concepts of God and Therapeutic Alliance Among People with Severe Mental Disorders” explores the transferential aspects of God representation among severely mentally ill adults. It highlights research on the relationship between a patient’s image of God and that patient’s working relationship with his/her case manager, and discusses the implications for clinical practice of those findings. “The Subjective Experience of God” presents a theory about the psychological basis for the experience of God that argues that this experience is essentially a form of projection and as such is an internal event that does not exist independent of an individual’s psyche. This chapter draws a distinction between faith in a particular belief—namely, faith in the existence of a loving, omnipotent God—and an attitude of faith, which is the basis for experiences of transcendence. “Relationship of Gender Role Identity and Attitudes” presents the results of a study in which nearly 300 Catholic attendees at three university Catholic centers completed the Bern Sex Role Inventory, the Attitudes Toward Women Scale, and the Perceptions of God Checklist. This chapter looks at images of God as masculine or feminine, and at the connection for people between the way they perceive God and the way they relate towards men and women. “Reflections on a Study in a Mental Hospital,” brings you groundbreaking new research on perceptions of God in an inpatient population. This chapter examines the positive effects (as opposed to the negative effects previously portrayed by the psychological community) of religious belief and practice for residential care patients in a psychiatric hospital.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religious Consciousness: A Psychological Study I have also sought to cover the field with a fair degree of adequacy; to do justice by both religion and science; to hold the scales even between the individual and society (no easy matter in these days); and to make my book of value and (if possible) of interest to both the general reader and the technical student. I am, of course, painfully aware of the fact that in many ways I have fallen short of my aims. It is now over twelve years ago that I began writing the book; and in that length of time so many changes come over one's evaluations and one's style that in looking through the completed volume I can plainly see (though I hope the reader will not) several distinct strata of thought and language superimposed upon each other.

Download or read book Communion with God written by Neale Donald Walsch and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2002-10-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neale Donald Walsch has changed the way the world thinks about God. His books have beentranslated into twenty-five languages, and his Conversations With God series, book1, book 2, and book 3, have all been New York Times bestsellers-book 1 for over two years. In the Conversations books, Walsch shared with his readers the beginning of a sacred relationship, as he began an exchange with God on everything from love and faith, to life and death, and good and evil. And then, as Walsch recounted in Friendship with God, something else extraordinary began to happen. His relationship with God began to strengthen and deepen, just as our own relationships do, into a friendship. Now in Communion with God, his most richly intimate book yet, Walsch discovers how to elevate that friendship to a state of communion. In this blueprint for seekers, he reveals The Ten Illusions of Man-the misconceptions we hold about ourselves and our world and our God. He describes with striking clarity how we might heal the great divide that has arisen from these illusions. And as he explores the true meaning of bringing God into our everyday lives, of having the courage of our convictions. Walsch shows us that we can only break free from our illusions when we act always from a place of deep fellowship with all that is holy-a place of communion with God.
Download or read book The Modern Christian Mystic written by Albert J. LaChance and published by North Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2007 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this new work, Albert LaChance presents a complete reframing of Christianity as an experiential rather than dogmatic approach to the presence of Christ. It emphasizes the idea of Christ as the source and sustainer of the cosmos, the Earth, the life community, and global culture. As such, it takes a "unitive" approach, with Christianity understood as being in mystical union with global culture, and with the ecological realities of the Earth. In the author's view, Christianity thus joins hands with Buddhism, Hinduism, and Taoism in a unitive oneness with all that is. Consisting of twenty-eight short chapters, The Modern Christian Mystic focuses on the presence of God permeating and organizing the beginning of existence, in the form of consciousness giving birth to energy, and then the material reality of the universe. The author argues that just as St. Augustine introduced the "pagan" Plato to Christianity, and a millennium later St. Thomas Aquinas revitalized his faith with the "pagan" philosophy of Aristotle, so in the modern age the "non-theism" of Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism holds the key to a revivified mystical practice. The Modern Christian Mystic posits a nurturing new world based on commonality rather than conflict in the world of spirit.
