William James
The problem how to discriminate between such messages and experiences
as were really divine miracles, and such others
as the demon in his malice was able to counterfeit …
has always been a difficult one to solve, needing all the sagacity
and experience of the best directors of conscience.
In the end it had come to our empiricist criterion:
By their fruits ye shall know them, not by their roots.
