I can sort of relate. For me it wasn't so much the fear of punishment as the desire not to disappoint this ideal being. I wanted to be its chum. (Caution: major narcissism lies in this direction.) But on the other hand mine was the sort of religious experience one has when given only a small dose and then left to ruminate on what it all means on ones own. I think I like my private version better than the stuff they sell you off the shelf but I don't miss any of it.
