James:

>>How so? I am. I did not cause myself. I am not self-existent.
(Or is that your claim?)

MAN IS AN END TO HIMSELF; HE NEEDS NO HIGHER AUTHORITY.

>>I understand. I percieve meaning. I see beauty. All these things speak to me of something higher, something mystical.<<

IT SPEAKS TO YOU OF THE BEAUTY OF THE COGNITIVE MIND GRASPING REALITY AND RESPONDING TO IT WITH ACTS OF CONSCIOUS VOLITION.

>>Even John Galt, though he calls it 'magical', admits to the mysticality of existence, of mind.<<

HE "ADMITS" TO NO SUCH THING. IF YOU THINK I'M WRONG ASK JOHN GALT.

>>And by reaching out to God, He answered me. You may call it delusions or fables, but then we are at an impasse. That is God's prerequisite - belief. Your rejection of belief altogether has made it impossible for you to find God.<<

MAN DOES NOT "FIND" GOD -- MAN CREATES GOD OUT OF AN IRRATIONAL NEED FOR MYSTICAL VALIDATION.
