Notes

The observations from the study of holotropic states confirm the ideas of C.G. Jung concerning spirituality. According to him, the experiences from deeper levels of the psyche (in my own terminology perinatal and transpersonal) have a certain quality that Jung called (after Rudolph Otto) 'numinosity'. The subjects having such experiences feel that they are encountering a dimension which is sacred, holy, radically different from everyday life, belonging to another order of reality. The term numinosity is relatively neutral and thus preferable to others, such as "religious". "mystical". "magical", "holy", "sacred", "occult". and others, which have often been used incorrectly and are easily misleading."[2]
