numinos/numinoasa Explanation: Vad ca se foloseste si in romana termenul 'numinos', ba chiar mai mult, in scrierile de specialitate, filozofice sau teologice, el apare folosit si la forma de feminin. Definitie din DEX online (neologisme): NUMINÓS s.n. (Fil.) Termen folosit pentru componentele iraţionale ale categoriei religioase „sfânt“, din care a fost eliminat conţinutul moral. [Cf. it. numinoso]. Example sentence(s):

vezi mai jos explicatie Explanation: Numinous From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Numinous (/ˈnuːmənəs/ or /ˈnjuːmənəs/) is a term coined by Rudolf Otto to describe that which is wholly other. The numinous is the mysterium tremendum et fascinans that leads in different cases to belief in deities, the supernatural, the sacred, the holy, and the transcendent. Etymologically, it comes from the Latin word numen, which originally and literally meant "nodding", but was associated with meanings of "command" or "divine majesty". Otto coined the word numinous from numen in a manner analogous to the derivation of ominous from [omen]. This was an important concept in the writings of Carl Jung and C. S. Lewis. It was also used by Carl Sagan in his book Contact. The notion of the numinous and the wholly other were central to the religious studies of Mircea Eliade. In Castaneda's 'Don Juan' books the 'nagual' seems to correspond to a concept of something wholly other, or at least to something our neural net has not yet fit into a template or cookie-cutter 'recognition' (Casteneda's so-called 'tonal'). Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinans - Latin phrase coined by the German Protestant theologian Rudolf Otto to name the awe-some (fascinating and full of awe) mystery that, he argued in his German work on comparative theology, Das Heilige (1917; translated as The Idea of the Holy, 1923), was the object common to all forms of religious experience. Numinous experiences can be quite taxing on the spiritual mind if awakened for too long. This religion-related article is a stub.
