Perceiving God

[Ostronomos]

A universal mind can indeed be perceived in what is known as an altered state of consciousness. This identity is known as the Global Operator Definor or G.O.D. It distributes itself over reality and every living brain possesses parts that can summon it within a higher dimension.

Clever satire. Maybe the acronym a little too obvious. I guess if it's universal then it's also global but I think it's just more of us being so special.

How does one 'perceive' a mind? (It doesn't seem to be a sensory matter. There are problems of how we experience our own inner states. Other-minds present even bigger problems.)

What kind of perception could justify the conclusion that whatever object is being perceived is "universal mind"? How is 'universality' perceived?

Not everything that people believe that they "perceive" is true or real. Attributing the experience to an "altered state of consciousness" makes objectivity and truth even less likely. (Countless psychotic delusions and hallucinations are evidence of that.)

This identity is known as the Global Operator Definor or G.O.D.

Or that's what Christopher Langan calls it.

Of course I don't believe that Langan knows any more about fundamental metaphysics and the secrets of the universe than anyone else does.

Frankly, I find Langan and his ideas to be of very little interest.

The altered state of consciousness of which I speak is a more valid perception than ordinary consciousness because it defines a consciousness that is linked to reality through a greater medium.

Edit: I want to add that normally we think of our bodies as separate and that the external and internal are differentiated but in this greater medium of reality it is not.
