Abstract

Bergson does not use the tools of reason as a way to understand God. He attempts to understand God based on religious experience because he saw that rational God was only an abstract and ideological human composition. His mystical experience means not a conceptual understanding through the language provided by intelligence, but a direct method of intuition, regardless of all interpretation and theoretical frameworks, médiate. The way to approach God in an intuitive way is human emotional sensibility. The result of human experience experiencing God is an emotional dimension, and human emotions are experiencing God's love. This means meeting God on the emotional level of love. Bergson suggests an intuitive way, not human reason, as a way for humans to approach God. This is because understanding of God through human reason understands God as a conceptual and abstract system and eventually overlooks God's personality. Through reason, the moment you understand God, you can be reduced to an idealistic position that understands God, a personal being, as an abstract principle or system. Bergson's intuition does not mean animal instincts, only claims recovery, the essence of intelligence, because intellectual thinking distorts the essence of life.
