We cannot rationalise what God is---- but Jung suggested a numinous feeling is a sign that we are experiencing the presence of God.
Some pleasant sensations include: sublimity, awe, excitement, bliss, rapture, exaltation, entrancement, fascination, attraction and allure.
Not so pleasant are negatives include overwhelment, fear, trembling, weirdness, eeriness, humility, urgency, stupor, bewilderment, horror, mental agitation, repulsion, and haunting, daunting and monstrous feelings.
The numinosum is a paradox, containing both positive and negative sensations which we may experience simultaneously in any encounter with the Divine.
