Now, Christian images that I just mentioned do not belong to Christianity alone (...) Such ideas have never been invented. She took birth at a time when humanity had not yet learned to use the mind as an activity directed. Before that men might learn to produce thoughts, the thought occurred to them. They did not, they perceived their mental functioning. The dogma is comparable to the dream: it reflects the spontaneous and autonomous objective psyche, ie the unconscious.
