In this paper we elaborate on Jung’s three theses which we consider to be the main “keys” to the understanding of Jung’s psychology of religion: the symbolism of the religious, the syncretic-eclectic view of religion, and the thesis that the “mystical unity” of the Soul and the God is the core of any true religiosity. According to Jung’s teachings, the Self represents the wholeness of other...

Traditional psychedelics, such as LSD, psilocybin, or DMT, are psychoactive compounds that exert their effects mainly through agonism over serotonergic receptors. In appropriate doses and contexts, they produce profound changes in the subjective experience, configuring altered states of consciousness that, upon reaching a critical point, involve the appearance of phenomena of mystical,...

Abstract: Teresa of Avila presents the mystical rapture, the supreme expression of ecstasy, as the absence of the exterior senses, and, with it, of all disturbance. This spiritual experience results from a clairvoyant truth, acquired beyond the understanding as a unique and singular moment. Therefore, it is the experience that takes place in an instant of fullness, in an instant that is, at the...

The following consists of the final chapter of my book, The Divine Mind: Exploring the Psychological History of God’s Inner Journey, published by Prometheus Books in 2018. The book tells the story of God’s evolution as depicted in the three Abrahamic religions—Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Needless to say, this parallels the evolution of human consciousness, as each reflects the other. This...

Rumi is a prodigious verse in the breadth of thought and the power of expression. Undoubtedly expressing narrow rules and heavenly meanings in the form of anecdotes and allegories, poetry is one of Rumi's unparalleled skills. In his mystical view, Rumi describes the dimensions of life (worldly and afterlife) in the form of poetry that only general and compassionate intellect can understand. In...
