Archetypes, Symbols, Myths

Religion claims the ‘whole’ man and, therefore, includes all sides of existence, those which are capable of being apprehended by reason, perceived through the senses, responded to by the emotions and intuited immediately without rational consideration. Since religion by its very nature refers to both the transcendent and immanent aspects of that mystery which pervades the universe and the life of man, it cannot be exhaustively described in rational language. Yet man for an incalculable length of time has possessed a ‘language’ which enables him to express his sense of the ‘sacred’ in a way that no other language can - the medium of symbols and primordial imagery.
