like, give me an example; i'm trying to put the two words together. Can something "of the Spirit" make one fear being closed in?

doesn't spiritual by definition kind of eliminate places and space?

Let me rephrase the question........

Is it possible to experience religious claustrophobia?

ohhhh...now that makes all the difference! i would most definitely say I experienced religious (ritualistic practices) fear of being in a box i would never be able to get out of for many, many years. praise the LORD for the clear work of the Holy Spirit.

Is it possible to have religious claustrophobia and religious agoraphobia simultaneously?
