Why would you trust experience when you were booting up your consciousness?
Do you believe in the reality of all your dreams?
"But it was so REAL!" doesn't work in these cases. You can't trust your mental state when your mental state is untrustworthy.

You just interpreted your brain malfunction according to the priming you've received from religious indoctrination (e.g. Daniel)
Probably your right! But how could i possibly stimulate the experience in my brain and create the image of an Angel if i never opened a bible in my life, I never knew who Daniel was, or read about angels. I began searching for the truth after I had the experience, and the only reference i can provide is found in the Bible.
Your argument might be plausible if i read the bible Chapter 10 before i went to bed, and unconsciously my brain begins creating image or vision of an Angel.
