I disagree, on both occasions when I was confronted with "god" which seemed as
real as anythig else, i used science to devour the hallucination. It took many
hours and was extremely painful (emotionally) but in the end I was elated with
the power of reason to control and vanquish my internal demons. Not only that,
both were triggered my using sound in a sceintific manner, and once drugs were
used to aid in the "evokation". I definately did not get exactly what I expected
each time, but the concept was correct.
