The religious function is part of who we are \u2014 as natural as needing food or love. It\u2019s the inner drive that pushes us to find meaning, to touch something larger than ourselves. Jung saw that if we don\u2019t tend it, it doesn\u2019t go away; it twists itself into addictions, compulsions, or a kind of soul-sickness. Religion, in the deepest sense, isn\u2019t about belief systems.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s about real encounters with the Self \u2014 the larger reality inside us that humbles, heals, and reshapes us. Dreams, symbols, and moments of awe are how Psyche keeps that connection alive.
