La imaginación activa y las manifestaciones del Espíritu Santo en el Nuevo Testamento

Resumen

This paper aims to develop the thesis according to which both the psychic phenomena conceived as the manifestation of the active imagination by Carl Gustav Jung, and the manifestations and gifts of the Holy Spirit described in the New Testament, especially according to the Gospel of Pablo, are analogous phenomena whose enormous similarities authorize us to establish that both are diverse modes of manifestation of a same spiritual source that springs in the field of the human soul. To fulfill this objective, I use the amplificatio as a method, which, by searching for analogous or parallel phenomena, enriches the understanding of both, whether they are found in the texts or in the present experiences. In the present case, the assimilation of the active imagination to the Holy Spirit gives us light on the similar nature of both phenomena as phenomena of the soul.
