Knowledge of God is a transcendental problem.
To this question there is a positive answer only when the individual is willing to fulfill the demands of rigorous self-examination and self-knowledge.
If he follows through his intention, he will not only discover some important truths about himself, but will also have gained a psychological
advantage: he will have succeeded in deeming himself worthy of serious attention and sympathetic interest.
He will have set his hand, as it were, to a declaration of his own human dignity and taken the first step towards the foundations of his
consciousness – that is, towards the unconscious, the only accessible source of religious experience.
This is certainly not to say that what we call the unconscious is identical with God or is set up in his place.
It is the medium from which the religious experience seems to flow. As to what the further cause of such an experience may be, the answer to this lies beyond the range of human knowledge.
