101:1.2 The [[Thought Adjuster]] has no special [[mechanism]] through which to gain [[self]]-[[expression]]; there is no [[mystic]] religious [[faculty]] for the [[reception]] or [[expression]] of religious [[emotions]].

And therein lies one [[explanation]] of the [[Adjuster]]'s [[difficulty]] in [[engaging]] in direct [[communication]] with the [[material]] [[mind]] of its constant indwelling.

But the [[mind]] that really [[discerns]] [[God]], hears the indwelling [[Adjuster]], is the [[pure]] mind.

101:1.4 [[Religion]] lives and prospers, then, not by [[sight]] and [[feeling]], but rather by [[faith]] and [[insight]]. It consists not in the [[discovery]] of new [[facts]] or in the finding of a [[unique]] [[experience]], but rather in the [[discovery]] of new and [[spiritual]] [[meanings]] in [[facts]] already well known to [[mankind]].

It is, rather, a [[profoundly]] deep and [[actual]] [[experience]] of [[spiritual]] [[communion]] with the spirit [[influences]] resident within the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Mind-2001-03-08 human mind], and as far as such an [[experience]] is definable in terms of [[psychology]], it is simply the [[experience]] of experiencing the [[reality]] of believing in [[God]] as the [[reality]] of such a [[purely]] [[personal]] [[experience]].
