I believe I do recall reading that. Btw, his brother's name is Henry and remains a quite well known novelist, though I haven't read any of his stuff. Anyway, you can definitely see William James' sympathetic attitudes towards the mystical experience as he devoted a phenomenal lecture series to it that was shortly afterwards published in 1902 as "The Varieties of Religious Experience."

I have much respect for James' approach to theism though I don't find much appeal in it for myself.
