First things are spiritually and theologically important. Before Belief delves into the precognitive human experience of transcendence, shedding light on how such foundational experiences shape the formation of attachment relationships with others, including a connection with God. Instead of relying solely on Freud's or Jung's understanding of the unconscious, the book proposes an implicit learning model aimed at recovering unconscious spiritual learning. Once these early learning needs are identified and expressed in language, they must be tested and integrated into one's life experience, ultimately manifesting in committed living. The theories examined and advanced in this work are further demonstrated through practical case studies, showcasing the pastoral and clinical significance of understanding and connecting individuals to those grounding experiences.
