The underlying psychological mechanisms which we know as the gods (or when we abstract what is common to all, as God), dwell in the Sentient not the Sapient mind; a part of us that lies outside the boundaries of what we experience as the Ego. This is the mystery, proclaimed by spiritual teachers, explained: God is outside of the self but is none-the-less to be found within. But when our knowledge, a product of the Ego, is super-imposed upon our direct perceptions, we see things only as we understand them to be, what we believe we see, and the deeper regions of the Sentient Mind, the very well springs of “deep meaning,” of “soulfulness” are cut off from the light of day. The wisdom of the mind supersedes the wisdom of the heart. The Ego has set itself against the gods. This is Hubris.
