61 - The Holy Head

This week we discuss Rudolf Otto’s piece ‘The Idea of the Holy’. We use this written work as a way to talk about the limits of the head center, what could exist outside of those limits, and our human experience of glimpsing beyond those limits. We talk about personal examples of spiritual experiences or ego-awakenings to the rigid structure we keep ourselves under. Sometimes we feel fear, sometimes bliss, sometimes a mix of the two when a mental structure of reality falls and some unknown version of ‘truth’ reveals itself. The process can be painful but rewarding.
