TMAGP has me thinking about the sublime. The idea of beauty and terror sharing a space in your brain, and the exultation of artistry - a painter like Daria or the virtuoso with the demon violin - to the point of destruction. The joy and horror at seeing a loved one return from the dead. The excitement and fascination of becoming something not quite human, the distress and panic as your body is changed. The shiver of fear as a pleasurable sample of terror.

I wonder where they're going with this.

“Heart And Soul” 

(Numinous Diaries, 2020)

That feeling of writing a theology essay (in which you strangely end up including Isidor I. Rabi) with the rain pouring outside whilst blasting the Oppenheimer soundtrack through a pair of headphones. I was forced into taking theology as part of philosophy, I didn’t choose it, but this is bizarrely fun!

“Just as physical hunger is sated, at least metaphorically, by the sight of a marvellous meal, so the hunger of the soul is sated by the vision of numinous images.”

- Carl Jung, Civilization in Transition.

Doubt isn't the opposite of faith; it is an element of faith.

Numinous experience - the mysterium tremendum and the mysterium fascinans - understood as the very essence of religion. Theologian Rudolf Otto (1869-1937).

Cosmos Within Hand-cut collage by @muchadoaboutcutting

"An important current in modern Western thinking about religion [...] has been to emphasise experience as being at the heart of religion. Indeed, many have claimed that… there is an experience common to diverse cultures and histories, and that if we strip away this overlay we will discover a common core experience, variously expressed as a sense of divinity, a sense of the ‘numinous’, of merging into an ocean of joy, or becoming one with the divine, and so on. Diverse religions are different paths to the same goal of a unified mystical experience." – From the introduction to The Tantric Body: The Secret Tradition of Hindu Religion, by Gavin Flood

Numinous

this story has some elements of CS Lewis and L'Engle it seems, with this sort of at least partly spiritual dimension, this darkness that's almost a living thing, trying to get into souls. Part of another universe-- it's unexplained-- some Lovecraftian horror thrown in.
