Maybe but I don't think my true self has been around for anymore than 65 years, and I scarcely remember all of that. Is that just a working definition or do you have a reason to think so? I could grant you that a natural god arising in consciousness can be older than our modern conscious selves .. but always? Can't follow you there. Another difference in hunches I guess.

As would I if I'd had that same experience and didn't have the conceptual framework I do for making sense of it. I'm sure your experience is genuine and significant, but I don't think it supports all the conclusions you are drawing from it. Your choice to make though, as you should. But I'll leave you to wrestle with the lions if you enjoy that sort of sport. But I'm available by P.M. Have fun.
These are not experiences that anyone could possibly justify in any other way. You have to experience them yourself to really understand, and someday you will.
As for the "lions" here, many of them are just very hateful, bullying type people. I've never met an atheist yet who did not enjoy being rude, horrible and ugly to any person who did not agree with them on everything. Their idea of fun is putting down others who have a clearer understanding of everything than they do. Really, they just want to live in a pretend world, where they pretend to be apes, robots, plants, anything but what they truly are. And of course, this is all becaue they want to create a ficticious reality where they will never be held accountable for any of their actions. If they were all madly and deeply in love and connected with their other half, it would help them immensely.
Only true agnostics (like I assume you are) can be engaged in any type of meaningful discussion. Thank you for offering some positive human input admidst the hateful gibberish.
