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...

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.

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 Knowledge of the Holy written by A. W. Tozer and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-12-13 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: True religion confronts earth with heaven and brings eternity to bear upon time. The messenger of Christ, though he speaks from God, must also, as the Quakers used to say, "speak to the condition" of his hearers; otherwise he will speak a language known only to himself. His message must be not only timeless but timely. He must speak to his own generation. The message of this book does not grow out of these times but it is appropriate to them. It is called forth by a condition which has existed in the Church for some years and is steadily growing worse. I refer to the loss of the concept of majesty from the popular religious mind. The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshipping men. This she has done not deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.

Download or read book The Courage to Be written by Paul Tillich and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-26 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Courage to Be introduced issues of theology and culture to a general readership. The book examines ontic, moral, and spiritual anxieties across history and in modernity. The author defines courage as the self-affirmation of one's being in spite of a threat of nonbeing. He relates courage to anxiety, anxiety being the threat of non-being and the courage to be what we use to combat that threat. Tillich outlines three types of anxiety and thus three ways to display the courage to be. Tillich writes that the ultimate source of the courage to be is the "God above God," which transcends the theistic idea of God and is the content of absolute faith (defined as "the accepting of the acceptance without somebody or something that accepts").
