Symbols & Mythology: Natural Universal Human Language

Mysterium tremendum, man’s experience of the numinous, Mandala OS, Wilhelm Reich’s FBI file declassified:

Because the mysterium tremendum is wholly Other, i.e., is unlike anything that we have encountered or ever will encounter, it arouses in us a mental state of stupor, a “blank wonder, an astonishment that strikes us dumb, amazement absolute.”

    I almost missed seeing Obama taking his oath of office because the symbol of your website, the little black bird, got stuck indoors at work. A guy caught it in his sweat shirt and we let him out the door.

    Well that’s good! As long as he got away, then he lives to fly another day.

    Human beings as a species have the a priori capacity of mind to perceive or experience the numinous. This is not to say that the ability to perceive the holy, let alone the perception itself is innate; it merely means that every individual has the potential to perceive or experience the numinous. The numinous state of mind or the feeling of the numinous must be evoked in us or brought into consciousness; it cannot be taught. But not everyone has the same degree of receptivity to the holy. The revelations of those who are specially receptive, like the prophets, stimulate the numinous capacity of the less receptive.
