One thing i found in life is that if you do not experience something as a human you really have no idea how to explain it thoroughly.
Religious experiences is just like that. These could drive you insane, or open up a new world for you, but those whom have never had it, know nout about it. No matter how many brain scans science does, it cannot explain religion or spirituality. Also i doubt anyone can really tell if ones persons insanity is anothers sanity. Anyones who has had a religious experience, knows that its a fine line between sanity and insanity, and you could go either way.
I know for sure i see the world differently than you lot, although i would say like 80% of reality is fixed and is not negotiable. The rest science cannot explain. We all agree on 80%, the rest is made up from our own lens of hate that we have have developed into adult life. Once you become an adult, that hate mostly sticks with you for life, and you cannot get away from it. We are all like this. But like 80% of reality is something we share and agree on, like blue is blue and all that.
Its like the way i see it, i see the world slightly more clear than most, thats only slightly, i think most are so stuck into a perimeter of what the world is. Most scientists are stuck in a rut, and see the world within there confines. Like i said before science will never explain why christmas day exists, and it would still exist even if humans where not on earth.
