11. Prevalence of Spiritual-Psychic Experiences The religious scholar, Fraser Watts, Psychology, Religion, and Spirituality: Concepts and Applications, points out that surveys show that roughly 1/3 of people report having spiritual experiences [9](p. 63). Park and Paloutzian report that somewhere between 1/3 to half of people report spiritual-psychic experiences depending on the questions asked. In one study, atheists and agnostics compromised 24% of the people surveyed who had transcendental spiritual experiences[10]. That should be no surprise since human beings have believed in spirit and spirits for tens of thousands of years! So unconscious spiritual symbolism would without doubt be genetically inherited to some extent or another. The fact that atheists have spiritual-psychic experiences would seem a strong argument that spiritual symbolism is a reality in the unconscious. Bargh, the unconscious researcher did emphasize that the conscious is largely separate and distinct from the unconscious.[11] As William James observed – and modern neuroscience confirmed – people “filter” information as part of the selective attention process. It is true that spirituality and life – are what you make of them!
