Background
A description of the experience
C G Jung [after he had had a series of visions whilst in hospital]
Everything was too material, too crude and clumsy, terribly limited both spatially and spiritually. It was all an imprisonment … and yet it had a kind of hypnotic power, a cogency, as if it were reality itself, for all that I had clearly perceived its emptiness …. I have never since entirely freed myself of the impression that this life is a segment of existence which is enacted in a 3 dimensional box like universe especially set up for it.
