Joey Voboril "On Numinous"

I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying this class. I really enjoy when we get to look at the pictures Dr. Redick has taken from the various places his research has taken him. I would also have to say, however, that our most recent class has been one of my absolute favorite. The talk we had about the numen - the power that is associated with God, and the numinous power. This, I feel is one of those things that I have always known existed but never actually knew what it was called or how to describe it. So given that fact this was a particularly special class for me. I was particularly moved by the video Dr. Redick showed us about the guy who tried to share that experience wit the girl on the couch by showing her the bag in the wind video. The amount of passion and love in his eyes is pretty hard to fake because it is such a strong and real emotion. I was able to resonate very well with him because I too have had similar experiences but have never quite been able to put any words to what I've experienced. After learning about that it leaves me with a certain eagerness to learn more, THIS I feel is what real education is all about.
