It is as reliable as you are faithful to your quest for truth.
Rubbish. It is nowhere near the same method we apply in every day life.
In everyday life I use all my senses to verify reality. I also use verification of others to see if my perception of reality coincides with theirs.
I can guarantee you don't use the A/S/K method in every day life. Your continued survival is evidence that you don't.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
