ABSTRACT
The religious person enjoys a great advantage when it comes to answering the crucial question that hangs over our time like a threat: author has a clear idea of the way subjective existence is grounded in his relation to 'God'. The question is idle, actually, and answers itself by reason of the subjectively overwhelming numinosity of the experience. Anyone who has had it is seized by it and therefore not in a position to indulge in fruitless metaphysical or epistemological speculations. Absolute certainty brings its own evidence and has no need of anthropomorphic proofs. Knowledge of God is a transcendental problem. Psychology's insistence on the importance of unconscious processes for religious experience is extremely unpopular, no less with the political Right than with the Left. Communism has not overlooked the enormous importance of the ideological element and the universality of basic principles.
