St. Augustine of
Hippo
classified visions into 3 categories
corporeal
imaginative
intellectual
corporeal visions are mediated through
physical
senses - they are empirical (verifiable by experience)
examples of corporeal visions:
Bernadette
of Lourdes:
18
visions of the Virgin
Mary
Joan of Arc: visions of
angels
+ saints
imaginative visions are visions mediated through 'the
minds
eye', not physical sight - often take the form of
dreams
examples of imaginative visions:
Pharoah/Joseph's dream
Joseph's dream: told to marry
Mary
intellectual visions have no
image
, but the person claims to 'see' things as they really are - experience illuminates the
soul
example of intellectual vision:
Teresa of
Avila
: visions of Jesus
