Document Summary
One must be open to the demands imposed by the question itself. Truth is a correspondence between reality and consciousness. If the religious experience is an experience, we must look within ourselves to take in all the essential aspects. We ha(cid:448)e a relationship (cid:449)ith reality and (cid:449)e don"t ha(cid:448)e to look outside of oursel(cid:448)es to discover reality. The way we are certain of something is through our correspondence of experience: certainty of the truth, correspondence is miraculous and surprising. We cannot study the idea of mystery. We must begin with ourselves: to use oneself as a starting point is realistic, when the person watches himself in action, in his or her daily experience. Through this, the factors which constitute us emerge and it is here that the most important characteristics of the human appear. The individual understands that he exists that he lives by the fact that he thinks, feels, and performs other similar activities.
