520    Could the Revelation of St. John inspire us even today in 
       our own spiritual quest? Yes, answers Dr. Korte, an author
       of several books and articles interpreting myths and the 
       Bible, as she reads man’s spiritual transformation in St. 
       John’s visions.  Irma Korte questions the common view of 
       Revelation as a prophesy of horrors and God’s revenge, and
       instead invites the reader into man’s inner world. Here, 
       St. John contemplates in pictorial, mythical language the 
       most essential problems in religion, such as the nature of
       man, reality, and evil. As the visions proceed, St. John 
       himself experiences a profound inner change. He gives up 
       alienating religious beliefs and moves toward ever deeper 
       spirituality, culminating in the final illumination.  
       Interpreting the visions much like myths are analyzed in 
       Jungian thought, Dr. Korte compares the images in St. 
       John’s visions to those from other religious texts, 
       psychological and philosophical theories, mythology, and 
       yoga literature, as well as to dreams and experiences of 
       present-day men and women. The many quotations from the 
       works of Occidental and Oriental mystics testify that they
       have used images similar to those of St. John in 
       recounting their own experiences. These mystics include, 
       among others, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, 
       and Paramahansa Yogananda. [Elib]
