8.10 Excursion “Sources of Early Childhood Religiousness”

… is the heading of a chapter in "Gott auf der Couch8" (God on the Couch), a book that is critical of the Church by the well-known psychotherapist Tilmann Moser. To explain the context, a quotation from the book:

“There is a connection between a feeling of devotion, an experience of one’s own self or that which researchers of infants call the early core-self, and the perception of an outside world that does not belong to the self, be it the mother or nature. Daniel Stern the American psychiatrist and psychoanalytical theorist who specializes in infant development intuitively grasped such a devotional situation of an infant and put it into words. In his book “Diary of a Baby. What Your Child Sees, Feels, and Experiences”, he describes the fascination of a child with a patch of sunshine on the wall:

“A patch of sunshine 7: 05 a.m.

Joey has just awakened.

He stares at a patch of sunshine

on the wall beside his crib.

A space glows over there.

A gentle magnet pulls to capture.

The space is growing warmer and coming to life.

Inside it, forces start to turn around one another

in a slow dance.

The dance comes closer and closer.

Everything rises to meet it.

It keeps coming. But it never arrives.

The thrill ebbs away.”
