    The claims are inadequate, making it very difficult to study, test or confirm what the person is claiming or experiencing.

    You are dealing with this issue in a one-sided scientific manner--- and as a result--- there is insufficient evidence to draw accurate conclusions

    At this point the scientist puts the matter aside saying we cannot work with this issue for now due to a lack of tangible evidence

    Jung also saw himself as an empiricist and understood evidence was needed---only he collected evidence related to the human psyche.

    He studied a vast amount of material written throughout the ages and felt there was enough to say -----the psyche is real.

    His evidence also ame from personal experiences and the study of thousands of dreams, visions and psychic phenomenon that have been recorded throughout history

    Jung spent a great deal of time reading up on religions, mythology, alchemy, history and philosophy

    As a result he said--we cannot know God, but we have sufficient evidence to say with conviction-----there is a God or Collective Unconscious or Divine or Self and it is within us and influences us throughout our lives
