That's his mystical-sounding way of saying "I believe in god, therefor he exists". In a way this is true though. One who believes in god has the same effect on his life wrought by his belief, whether or not there is a god. God exists in relation to his relevance. God can only be relevant to our lives in relation to how he affects us. If the belief in god affects ones life in the same way whether god is up there or not, the relevance of god's existence in relation to ours remains the same; except for the afterlife I suppose, though theoretically such belief could be made reality (in relation to ones own existence) if consciousness can carry itself beyond the physical body after death.
