which in part states:
"The fact that religious statements often conflict with 
observed physical phenomena proves that, in contrast to 
physical perception, the psyche is autonomous and that psychic 
experience is to a certain extent independent of physical data. 
Thus he writes: 'The psyche is an autonomous factor, and 
religious statements are psychic confessions which in the last 
resort are based on unconscious, i.e., on transcendental, 
processes.' These are not visible to the physical senses but 
still influence human consciousness. Thus whenever we speak of 
religious contents we move into a world of image, metaphor, and 
imagination. Thus ideas of god and the like manipulate human 
images and ideas which are dependent upon the human imagination 
and its temporal and spatial locations and cannot helped being 
manipulated and altered several times over the course of human 
history. To Jung all of these images relate to a few basic 
principles or archetypes. And archetypes are unknowable--we can 
only know their manifestations in culture. "

Okay. What about this?
