I also thought I felt and saw the witness of the Holy Spirit. I also believe people of other religions all throughout history have had these experiences with their gods. The feeling of the Divine is functionally and argumentatively impotent.
I have never been a Xtian or believed in any kind of cosmic whatnot. This "inner peace" -- have i experienced it? I suppose -- is it like just being OK and content with the moment and things as they are? Is it like listening to Sketches of Spain by candle light after a bong hit? Is it like feeling that you can communicate with a pebble while tripping balls?
Or have I got it all wrong?
A mind is a terrible thing to waste -- don't pollute it with bullshit.
