Theology Today 1976 John Carmody
“Catholicism will again have an exciting, frontier theology if it probes non-Christian religious experience … from the still point of its own mystical tradition. … The experiential highpoints in non-Christian religious traditions, if engaged, would pressure Catholic theology to review, renew, and perhaps reform its own symbols mediating between numinous experience and confessional doctrine.”
The Psychology of Religion December 1, 1975 W. Proudfoot, P. Shaver
Recent anthropological and sociological studies have emphasized the cognitive functions of religion, but few have drawn on relevant work by cognitive social psychologists. One current social psychological approach, attribution theory, is especially promising for the study of religion because it deals directly with individuals' interpretations of their own experiences and behavior. Three lines...

A measure of intense religious experience was related to measures of psychological strength in two studies. In the first study a significant negative correlation was found between intense religious experience and Barron's (1953) measure of ego-strength. However, this correlation was reduced to insignificance when the religion subscale was removed from Barron's total EgoStrength Scale. In the...

A new dimension in the nature of man is coming into view in modern psychology.This dimension may be termed the Self .It is the central core, the deep source and foundation of the empirical self, the latter being comprised of constantly changing thoughts, emotions and physical states.The Self may be known and experienced through the transcendence of the normal state of consciousness to a higher...

In this paper I propose to examine the cognitive status of mystical experience. There are, I think, (at least) three distinct but overlapping sorts of religious experience. (1) In the first place, there are two kinds of mystical experience. The extrovertive or nature mystic (in some sense) identifies himself with a world which is both transfigured and one. The introvertive mystic withdraws from...

In this age so concerned with travel in outer as well as inner-space, it is strange that, while we have detailed charts of the moon, we have no cartography of the varieties of human experience.In order to draft a map of inner space, I am ready to be your travel guide and take you on two voyages: one along the perceptionhallucination continuum of increasing ergotropic (1) arousal, which includes...

The use of LSD in the treatment of alcoholism has led to many claims concerning the drug's efficacy. Efforts to verify these reports in controlled studies have been difficult because of the unique effects of LSD. Despite this formidable methodological obstacle a number of investigations have been carried out. A critique of these is presented followed by our own research experience in a...

It is well recognized that LSD (lysergide) can give serious adverse reactions, including suicide and prolonged psychosis; Smart and Bateman (1967) have reviewed the subject thoroughly. However, examples reported refer largely to cases where the LSD was self-administered. Medical case reports usually cover small case numbers, and publication may be determined by high adverse reaction rates....

In the Sānkhyakārikās, the chief text of the dualistic Sānkhya philosophy, the world and salvation therefrom are described in compressed images as various stages of aesthetic situations. Purusa, the spiritual principle, whose only characteristic apart from being is consciousness, regards the spectacle which prakrti, primary substance, natura, gives. Existence is a theatrical show where that...
