Abstract
Creativity Religion has its origins in certain types of human experience. Those which have to be categorised as religious include both mystical and psychic experiences, as well as those more heavily charged with emotional impressions. They range from inner experiences of at-oneness with God or the Absolute, through feelings of the presence of supernatural beings, to trance experiences and visions of the so-called supernatural.
