There is a way to God, and the way we know is through God’s revelation of Himself. She said: “I took a spiritual tour of sacred Sedona, Ariz., and all I got was this rock…and a mystical encounter with a mountain lion.”Ĭan we find God through a mystical encounter with a mountain lion?

The person who most exemplified that thought was Søren Kierkegaard, a great existentialist. The age in which we live is steeped in existentialism, a philosophy of life that seeks to define life primarily by one’s personal experience of it.
