The author examined the lived experiences of adults in Palm Springs, California who self-identified as practicing Christians and who claimed to be able to make a connection with the divine. The study used both semi-standardized interviews and photo elicitation to gather data about the participants' experiences in connecting with God. The data analysis for this study used phenomenological interpretation techniques established by Husserl (1931/1962) and Giorgi (1997). The results of this study revealed the human-divine connection to be a complex dichotomous experience that may prove useful in the psychotherapeutic treatment process.
