This paper explores the connections between the concepts of enlightenment and individuation, focusing in particular on individuals with significant experience in both traditions. Nondual or mystical experiences are contextualized as aspects of the religious function of the psyche. Experiences occurring in late-stage individuation are examined and compared to aspects of the Zen Ox-Herding Pictures, and mind states characteristic of the practice of depth psychotherapy and meditation are reviewed. The paper concludes with a dream image drawing together Eastern and Western descriptions of the levels of the psyche.
