Luminous, Numinous

From Adam Gopnik's article in the New Yorker about G.K. Chesterton:

Chesterton's point is that childhood is not a time of illusion but a time when illusion and fact exist (as they should) at the same level of consciousness, when the story and the world are equally numinous.

nu·mi·nous adj.

1. Of or relating to a numen; supernatural.
2. Filled with or characterized by a sense of a supernatural presence: a numinous place.
3. Spiritually elevated; sublime.
