Quotes by Rudolf Otto (?)

“And 'the holy' will be, in Dr. Otto's language, a complex category of the 'numinous' and the 'moral', or, in one of his favourite metaphors, a fabric in which we have the non-rational numinous experience as the woof and the rational and ethical as the warp.”
― Rudolf Otto, The Idea of the Holy: An Inquiry Into the Non-rational Factor in the Idea of the Divine and Its Relation to the Rational

“A characteristic common to all types of mysticism is the Identification, in different degrees of completeness, of the personal self with the transcendent Reality.”
― Rudolf Otto

“Genuine divination, in short, has nothing whatever to do with natural law or the relation or lack of relation to it of something experienced. It is not concerned at all with the way in which the phenomenon—be it event, person, or thing—came into existence, but with what it ”
― Rudolf Otto, The Idea of the Holy
