The text is an excerpt from Carl Gustav Jung's work "Psychology and Religion", which explores the relationship between the human psyche and religious phenomena. The author argues that religious experience is not just a matter of faith or dogma, but also has a deep psychological basis. Jung presents the idea that the individual unconscious, through unconscious symbols and processes, can reveal religious tendencies and ideas, and that the experience of a "mandala", a universal symbol of integration and unity, can be a profoundly transformative experience for the individual. Jung uses examples of dreams, visions and studies of the history of religion and alchemy to support his thesis, showing how these elements can provide clues to the roots and nature of religious experience.
