Maybe I don't fully understand. Suppose I believe the Karma Sutra is a divinely revealed text. How do I really know it's a product of revelation or just another...mmhuh...self-help book? Likewise if I see a vision of Thor, which would be awesome by the way, I would use my rational capacity trying to decide if those mushrooms I ate were 'blue meanies' or if it actually was the son of Odin.
