"In the second paragraph , just because something is beyond us , do you not think we can relate to it at least in a rudimentary fashion if not in a perfected ( complete ) fashion ?"
"Hmmm .... I think maybe it 's possible to have a brief , fragmentary awareness of a higher order , a glimpse of something that is just too vast for the human brain to rationalise , but definitely not in terms of ( for example ) recieving ten commandments on a mountain , or a woman being impregnated with divine offspring , etc . It 's possible that our brains could work like recievers , picking up fragments of the universal consciousness but if that is the case I think it is more likely to lead to madness than enlightenment ! I said I have had no experience of 'God ' but I have had ( and some will scoff I know ) bizarre , spiritual experiences on LSD and mushrooms , which I have only done a few times ( before I get accused of being a spaced-out hippie ! ) . The only way I can describe the experience is as a realisation that everything , all matter and energy , is connected in a fundamental way , and more than realising it you actually experience it , you experience being part of something all-encompassing , and once you are a part you are also the whole in its entirety . You lose all sense of self , and gain a new sense of something akin to omnipresence . Of course this may just be a hallucination entirely confined to the brain but it feels so real at the time that it 's hard to know ."
