---

When a man begins to exercise independent thought and independent judgement, when he becomes sufficiently informed through the study of comparative religion to note how devastating are the disagreements and inconsistencies with each other, he will have only one possible conclusion open to him. The various beliefs about God and the different statements about religion are as likely to be wrong as right, but the personal experiences of God are all essentially the same. But this conclusion reached, he passes through it out of the religious level and rises up to the mystical one.
