46. I am discussing experiences that seem to involve a perturbation of our emotive and affective spheres - love, life, death, suffering - but which escape any clear definition or conceptualisation. In psychology, the words that refer to these experiences are called "archetypal", for their abstract nature and because they reflect something that seems very important to us but which at the same time we can only "roughly grasp". There is thus a sense in which the discussion of these experiences is bound to be approximate.
