Even if i would open up my skull to show you the pineal gland you would hardly understand much except that the differences between my gland and yours is that it emit a bit more melatonin but as far as spiritual progress (which is the way to perceive God) you could not detect anything as God is something spiritual rather than physical.
That is why it is impossible to show you the gem.
If all your evidence is in your head, then your "evidence" is indistinguishable from delusion. Since delusions are very common, I'm safe to assume your claims are delusions.
Delusions last for sometime.
Delusions can not give a permanent feeling of job accomplished or the feeling that something has changed within while yoga is achieving something that stay with you.
Delusion is theory while yoga is practice so it obvious that with theory you wan't get anywhere.
Delusion is also atheism.
When you think that you know how the system works you realize that in your hands you only got dead flies.
That is the illusion that physical science can solve the real human problem which is not physical.
Quote:Also, if god cannot be detected because he is spiritual, then he cannot interact with the physical world. You need something that mediates between spiritual and physical for one to affect the other. Before you claim the pineal gland as your mediator, remember the pineal gland is made out of physical stuff. Look up problems with dualism in the mind body problem.
1) How do you know that God does not interact with the physical world?
Are you presuming that because he doesn't interact with you he also doesn't interact with other people or with different form of lives?
2) How do you know that the pineal gland is only made of physical stuff when even the physical science that you believe in has yet to find out the real role of this gland?
