Nah you're going to get schizo responses instead because they're more fun. I don't know if I would call the experience I had "divine" but I had a psychotic break at a party where I thought people were trying to kill me. They weren't. Not in the let's ritualistically sacrifice this guy and eat his heart, but they were people who were dragging me down. I had to make a decision whether to live like them, a childless yuppy who goes to parties and does drugs and pretends it's "spiritual" my entire life, or to grow up, start a family, and find something meaningful to do with my time rather than sell it to Shekelberg for rent money and vacations. Those concerns kicking around my subconscious all coalesced at one moment, and it felt as if I was being warned and then guided by a higher power. Could be my subconscious mind, Jimminy Cricket, or God, but it was such an unusual moment of my life and it forever changed me for the better. So yeah. I grew up in a Christian family and rejected it when I was a teen and in my twenties but I'm glad my family taught me that their was evil and temptation in the world and I shouldn't just follow the herd to damnation. Helped me avoid some pitfalls my old friends didn't and now my life is better. I have a family of my own, a respect for the natural world, which I see as God's creation, and I feel more connected and less fearful.
