How do I know the things I know?

[Darkstar]

Vedic spiritual culture also has rigorous peer review. It's called guru, sadhu and sastra. I'm sorry if you don't know what that is - it's basically a checks and balances system that we don't accept truth unless it's confirmed by several sources. Many people have done the tests, many people have gotten the same results.

Uh...what are 'the tests'? You mean like these?
Prayer
Psychic powers

This is apparently an actual defense of god talking to people (google it if you like). Note how it says things like "My overhead was on a tall cart. I tried to get a shorter cart but they didn’t have one, so I had to stand instead of being able to sit down and teach. After teaching this way for about six months, one day I heard in my mind, why don’t you buy a taller stool? I knew it wasn’t my idea, it was God." Really, you needed divine inspiration to figure out to buy a taller stool? Come on...
