Kierkegaard's ideal religious posture, that the knight of faith is to present towards living God, is a leaped life of faith that is quite demanding and of the highest standard demanded from the believer.
I am just beginning to explore Soren's aristocratic and heroic role of elite worship of God, but it came to me that he is not suggesting that we be child-like to best encounter and know God, as is counseled in the Bible and in Eastern faiths.
Rather Soren and I are advising the believer to worship God in an adult mode of communicating with God.
Soren's approach to worship and conversing with the Divinity will be more irrational and emotional than will be mine (more intellectual and verbally describable), but I think elite worshipful behavior expected of pious self-realizer is a test that they can pass, and will, ultimately improve the relationship between them and the divinity.
