  1. Do you have a citation for the following quotation:

    If our religion is based on salvation, our chief emotions will be fear and trembling. If our religion is based on wonder, our chief emotion will be gratitude.

    I cannot seem to find it.

    Thank you

  2. Lewis: I can’t find it either. I don’t have my original notes on where I found it… Sure are a lot of unsourced Jungian quotations out there..
    Now I try to source all the ones I use..
