"...the main interest of my work is not concerned with the treatment of neuroses but rather with the approach to the numinous. But the fact is that the approach to the numinous is real therapy, and inasmuch as you attain to the numinous experiences you are released from the curse of pathology. Even the disease takes on a numinous character."

"Among all my patients in the second half of life - that is to say, over thirty-five - there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life. None of them has really been healed who did not regain his religious outlook. This of course has nothing whatever to do with a particular creed or membership of a church."
