O pensamento de Rudolf Otto possui particular importância para este tema, pois este teólogo alemão buscou alcançar a essência do fenômeno religioso ao propor suas ideias sobre o numinoso e a categoria do sagrado, e ao afirmar a precedência da experiência sobre o conceito. A filosofia de Søren Kierkegaard, por sua vez, é também importante para a ciência da religião devido, entre outros aspectos, à sua perspicaz análise comparativa entre o pensamento filosófico grego e o cristianismo, especialmente nas suas obras publicadas sob o pseudônimo Johannes Climacus. A presente pesquisa pretende propor uma leitura das ideias kierkegaardianas de Instante e Paradoxo Absoluto, desenvolvidas no livro Migalhas Filosóficas, como expressões de uma experiência religiosa, interpretando-as a partir do instrumental teórico encontrado nas obras de Otto, particularmente em O Sagrado. / Religious experience is one of the main themes in Religious Studies. Rudolf Otto’s thought has particular importance to this theme, for this German theologian sought to reach the essence of the religious phenomenon when he proposed his ideas about the numinous and the category of the holy, and when he stated the precedence of experience over concepts. The philosophy of Søren Kierkegaard, on the other hand, is also important to Religious Studies because, among other reasons, it proposes a discerning comparative analysis between Greek philosophical thought and Christianity, especially in its works published under the pseudonym Johannes Climacus. The present research intends to propose a reading of the kierkegaardian ideas of Moment and Absolute Paradox, in the way they are developed in the book Philosophical Fragments, as expressions of a religious experience, interpreting them using the theoretical tools found in Otto’s works, particularly in The Idea of the Holy.

Awe, an emerging topic within the field of modern psychology, has shown to have many benefits, including improved health for mind and body. This essay is trying to explore what links there are between the spiritual concept of the numinous established by the religious scholar Rudolf Otto and the definition of awe put forward by one of the most prominent and influential researchers in the field of Self-Transcendent Emotions, Dacher Keltner. Is the modern concept of awe and the numinous the same thing with similar health benefits? Through a content analysis the study will show that there are many common denominators between the two phenomena in question and that a healthy outcome of spiritual awe is not just possible but common for human beings. Yet that the concept of the numinous still has in some ways its own unique position. Suggestions are made on how further research could be done regarding how to stimulate awe and through that perhaps spirituality, for the benefit of health and the connection with others.

The Seven Valleys is an interactive 3D installation based artwork inspired by mystical writings of the Bahá'í Faith. Created as a modification of the firstperson shooter Unreal Tournament 2003 (Epic, 2003) it subverts the original paradigm of the game to create an experience of the numinous, which in spirit, is diametrically opposed to the original intent of the gameplay design. This artwork presents an exploration of, and allusion to, the often subtle and illusive concepts found in the sacred treatise The Seven Valleys (Bahá'u'lláh, 1991) in which the user engages in an experiential journey through the work. The user is faced with conditions and situations that provide motivation to question, explore and attempt to fathom the abstract sense of the numinous. Each of The Seven Valleys contains its own individual mysteries while at the same time contributing its part to the telling of a collective story. / Master of Arts

[pt] Este trabalho se dedica ao estudo da subjetividade de pessoas mentalmente saudáveis, que vivenciam a religiosidade através de experiências de contato direto com o sagrado, alcançado mediante a ingestão de uma substância enteógena de nome Hoasca, no âmbito religioso da União do Vegetal. A fundamentação teórica para a compreensão deste modelo de vivência religiosa é baseada em W. James, R. Otto e C. G. Jung, autores que conferem importância à religiosidade, e ao contato direto com o sagrado na vida do ser humano. / [en] This work is dedicated to the study of the subjectivity of mentally stable people religious experiences through direct contact with the sacred, via the ingestion of sacred substance know as Hoasca, within the religious sphere of União do Vegetal.

Jung, as authors that confer importance to religion and its direct contact with the sacred, in the life of human being.

[pt] A partir da obra musical de Nicanor Teixeira (1928...), esta tese pretende desenvolver possíveis relações entre música, tempo e imaginário, assim como a especificidade da arte musical em seu acontecer. Como um homem nascido e criado no interior da Bahia, suas composições trazem tanto possibilidades do sentir quanto do pensar que reconfiguram a vida. Há nelas elementos telúricos que nos remetem, entre outros, a paisagens musicais de moinhos, de mulheres que descascavam mandiocas, de vaquejadas, de amores e festas sagradas ou profanas. Mas há também elementos que fogem à cronologia da experiência e que vêm de tempos que não podem ser datados. A partir dessas circunstâncias, ser vamos investigar uma trajetória que pode ligar, pela música, o sertanejo aos gregos antigos. A experiência numinosa, nesse caso, é o mistério que conduz a arte. A suspensão do tempo e dos juízos reverberam sentidos e sensações que não cessam de nos dizer algo e atuam diretamente nas ações humanas, tanto para o bem quanto para o mal. Por isso, a singularidade da potência musical é incessantemente tematizada em nossa história. / [en] From Nicanor Teixeira s musical work (1928...) this study aims to develop the possible relations between music, time and imaginary, as well as the specificity of musical art within its very existence. As a man born and raised in Bahia s backcountry his compositions brings us as much possibilities of the feeling sense as of thinking, which reconfigure life. There are in these telluric elements that drive us, amongst others, to musical landscapes of mills, of women peeling manioc, of cowboy caravans, of love stories and sacred or profane parties. Although, there is also in Teixeira s work the elements which escape the experienced chronology and that come from immemorial times which cannot be dated. From these circumstances this work will investigate the path that might connect through music the backcountry to the ancient Greeks. In this case, the numinous experience is the mystery that guides to art. The suspension of time and reasoning reverberate sense and feelings which do not cease to tell us something, and which act directly upon human actions, both for good and bad. That is why the uniqueness of musical power is unceasingly narrated in our history.

Nous partons de la présentation de l'oeuvre de Mark Rothko et d’une analyse quirévèle en elle les « risques du sublime », ce qui nous permet alors d’adopter un point de vue esthétique. Attirant l'attention sur l’acte nécessaire du spectateurcontemporain s’il veut découvrir un sens à son expérience des oeuvres d’art, nouscherchons à forger de nouvelles voies de compréhension. La réflexion vise ainsi àmontrer la manière dont le sublime et l’approche apophatique de la mystique peuventnous aider à mieux comprendre l‘attitude nouvelle exigée par la peinture moderne. Il faut comprendre que nous devons nous disposer à (ou pour) l’oeuvre, sans chercher à lui attribuer un sens. Il faut accepter d’être d’abord désorientés et apprendre à reconnaître ensuite d'autres relations possibles entre l’oeuvre et soi-même, pour finir par voir d’un oeil éminemment spirituel. De sorte qu’il s’agit au final d’apprendre à vivre l’oeuvre de Rothko et un certain type d'art contemporain en intégrant des modes nouveaux d’accès à cette peinture, tout en vérifiant une expérience proche du religieux, bien que séculaire. / Using the presentation of Mark Rothko’s work and an analysis unveiling the "risks of the sublime" in it, we advance through an aesthetic approach. Focusing on thenecessary act that the contemporaneous viewer must engage in to find a meaning inthe experience of the paintings; our aim is to forge new ways of understanding. This consideration reveals how the sublime and an apophatic mystic help us understand a new and needed appreciation for modern art. By becoming fully open and available to the painting without searching to assign a sense and accepting to be disorientated at first, we arrive at other possible relationships and we can see with an eminently spiritual vision. Thus, we learn to live Rothko’s works and too, contemporary painting, suggesting new ways of access and evincing an experience that can be religious, while remaining secular. / Partimos de la presentación de la obra de Mark Rothko y de un análisis que nosdescubre los "riesgos de lo sublime" en ella, para tomar después un punto de vistaestético. Dirigiendo la atención al necesario acto que el espectador contemporáneodebe realizar para encontrar un sentido en su experiencia con las obras, buscamosforjar nuevas vías de comprensión. La reflexión, entonces, pretende descubrir cómolo sublime y una mística apofática podrían ayudarnos a entender esa nueva actitudque pide la pintura moderna. Entender que debemos disponernos a la obra, sinbuscar un sentido para atribuirle, aceptando una desorientación primera, para llegar a aceptar otras relaciones posibles y ver finalmente con una visión eminentemente espiritual. Así, aprender a vivir la obra de Rothko y de un cierto tipo de arte contemporáneo proponiendo nuevos modos de acceso y constatando unaexperiencia que pude ser religiosa, aunque secular.

An account of Pethö Sándor s life was presented, as well as a description of the method which he created, namely Calatonia. Numinous is the term which Carl Gustav Jung chose to refer to what he understands as religiosity, which, according to him, is the transforming experience of contact with archetypes; a momentously dynamic effect that does not depend on one s will. In order to develop this study, qualitative research was preferred as a method of investigation and interpretation once it focuses on the understanding of phenomena. Eleven psychologists, ranging from 26 to 58 years of age, participated in this research, which started off from the observations made by two participants. Such observations were interpreted in the light of Jung s constructive method, and the resulting data was analyzed through the application of Forghieri s method. It has been c oncluded that Calatonia may facilitate contact with the numinous, seeing that some evidence of this contact was detected in the two cases analyzed. It is possible to deduct thereof that the lowering of ego activity facilitated by Calatonia may promote the emergence of images charged with numinosity, which, once integrated to a structured ego, may lead to a transformation orientated to a repositioning which ultimately proves favorable to a change of attitude towards life / Esse trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a Calatonia, método de relaxamento desenvolvido por Pethö Sándor, como via de acesso para o contato com o numinoso. Foi relatada a vida de Pethö Sándor, assim como foi feita a descrição do método criado por ele, a Calatonia. Numinoso foi o termo escolhido por Carl Gustav Jung para designar o que ele entende por religiosidade, que é a experiência vivida e transformadora do contato com o arquétipo, um efeito dinâmico impactante e que independe da vontade. Para a realização deste estudo foi privilegiado como método de investigação e de interpretação a pesquisa qualitativa por centrar sua atenção na compreensão do fenômeno. Participaram desta pesquisa onze psicólogos com idades variando de 26 a 58 anos. Tomou-se por base as observações de duas participantes, observações essas que foram interpretadas à luz do método construtivo de Jung. Os dados obtidos foram analisados mediante o método fenomenológico de Forghieri. Concluiu-se que a Calatonia pode favorecer o contato com o numinoso, tendo-se percebido indícios desse contato em dois dos casos observados. É possível se deduzir que o rebaixamento da atividade do ego favorecido pela Calatonia possa promover o surgimento de imagens carregadas de numinosidade que, integradas a um ego estruturado, podem levar a uma transformação orientada para um reposicionamento favorável a uma mudança de atitude frente à vida
