The image of god in Mormonism is not static, but an archetypal phenomenon that is revealing itself to us and transforming in an often unsettling way. This session will provide an intellectual understanding of the numinous experience of god (the mysterium tremendum et fascinans) as it relates to Mormonism. Specifically, how it promotes individuation from herd psychology and how becoming more of an individual allows one to connect with the transcendent and experience more cohesion in one’s culture.
