Yet you have not explained how we should go about determining whether your experience is anything other than a natural brain state being misinterpreted by your confirmation bias.
You have not explained how we should go about determining whether similar experiences that people of other religions have are not legitimate, and yours is not.
Lets say we sincerely attempt what you claim is a sure fire method and we get no results. How do we go about determining whether we are doing something wrong, or that there is simply nothing there?
Actually I have explained this process several times now. In the bible their are Evidences of the Holy Spirit outlined in Gal 5 these are known as Spiritual fruit. Once we have the Holy Spirit and are faith to what we have been Given Spiritual fruit give way to Spiritual gifts. These are explained in 1 cor 12. Spiritual gifts are ablities that we are given by God that we did not have when we started this process.
Yeah, I've read your posts with the process before.
That still does not answer my questions.
How do you know you are not deluding yourself? How do you know that you are not misinterpreting a natural brain state?
How am I supposed to tell if your experience is legitimate, yet those similar experiences that Hindus and Muslims report, are not?

You say that like not having faith is a bad thing.
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.
