And so says the vast majority of schizophrenics. They are also absolutely certain about their experiences. Hell, their descriptions sound identical to yours.

As outsiders, how do we go about telling the difference between your above described experience, and those of schizophrenics?

Yeah, it's our subconscious.

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.
