The Sacred Laboratory: Exploring Religious Experience
What does it feel like to have a profound religious experience? William James, Harvard professor and pioneering psychologist, approached this question not as a theologian debating doctrine, but as a scientist examining lived human experience. His groundbreaking work "The Varieties of Religious Experience" remains astonishingly relevant today, especially in our era where many identify as "spiritual but not religious." Rather than dismissing religious experiences as mere delusion or accepting them uncritically as divine revelation, James took a middle path - treating them as psychological phenomena worthy of serious study, regardless of their ultimate source. His approach was radical: examining religion through the lens of human psychology rather than abstract theology, focusing on what religious experiences feel like from the inside.
