Now the question is, how does man communicate with his self? By self-analysis. No doubt there is a danger in self-analysis. When a person is always wondering how wrong he is, how bad he is, how wicked he is, or how stupid he is, he will never stop worrying and troubling about himself, and the further he continues in this way, the more he will find in himself the spirit of wickedness or stupidity; perhaps throughout his whole life he will find that same spirit in himself. The mystic delves deeper in himself in order to discover what it is in him that gives him the sign of existence, what it is in him that lives and what it is that dies, what it is in his being that is limited and what it is that is beyond limitation. By meditating on this a mystic communicates with his self. And in order to communicate with others he removes the barrier which stands between one person and the other, between "I" and "you."
As to the religion and the moral of the mystic, the mystic has one moral and that is love; and he has one aim in his religion and that is to make God a reality. Therefore his God becomes a greater God than the God of millions of people who only imagine that there is a God somewhere; to him God is a reality.
How can one make God a reality? Since we are able to make what is unreal a reality, it is very easy to make reality real.
