How to Authentically Experience God

[Dotard]

One must look through the telescope (meditation, orison, asceticism) and follow the first astronomers instructions (forget self, carry cross). Withdraw from society, invest a large amount of time reflecting on the self, the nature of the mind, and peel away the layers of perception untill....

If you find something, like a flaming lion that consumes the flesh and an ocean of infinite bliss, a cascade of infinite joy, revealing the true nature of reality; you have found the "celestial object".

If not, maybe you're not looking hard enough or looking too hard as the case may be. The point is, you have to look, otherwise it's bad....

Or it's simply not there. The point is, I have looked thru the telescope. There's nothing there.

If you don't believe the claims of the hundreds of thousands of "astronomers" throughout human history, then you just have to see for yourself.

I have looked to see for myself. Now I tell folks "There's no monsters under the bed or in the closet, go see for yourself".
