[This] was a response to JamesR's request for proof.
I don't think you understand what it means to provide evidence for something.
Saying "I had a dream that unicorns exist" isn't evidence that unicorns exist. Saying "I felt that sunlight was self-aware" is not evidence that sunlight is self-aware. These things are only evidence of what is going on in your mind.
If you claim heaven exists and I ask for evidence, I'm not that interested in your gut feeling that heaven exists, or in your personal desire for heaven to exist. We can take those as given. What I want to know is whether there is anything that
objectively would be inclined to support the notion that heaven exists.
Do you understand?
I have verified the existence of God long after (since 2012) witnessing his manifestation in various forms (right before my eyes).
No. You haven't verified the existence of God. You've simply convinced yourself that God exists. For all I know, you were hallucinating or on drugs when God manifested himself to your mind.
Heaven's verification only came recently however. It simply stood to reason.
Again, saying "It just makes sense to me that heaven exists" is not evidence that heaven exists. It's only evidence of your state of mind.
Suppose I say to you I own a diamond-encrusted iPod, and that I can prove it to you. Will you be content if I say "I've verified it's existence after witnessing its manifestation right before my eyes!" Will that be sufficient for you to believe that I own an iPod with embedded diamonds on its casing? Or would you rather see a photo of it? Or would you like me to show it to you, so you could handle it and check for yourself?
Can you see why my belief that my iPod is encrusted with diamonds does very little to convince you that it is?
Why do you think things are any different concerning your claim that you have proof that heaven exists?
I have also witnessed and felt the presence of various kinds of spirit all the way up to merging with Christ himself (the Son of Man) temporarily on New Year's morning 2016. Such entities are composed of another kind of particle altogether and have a deeper connection to the manifestation of thought yet are still as real as you and I. They come from the world of Mind and are not imaginary in any way, shape or form. You can test this for yourself. I used to roam around in the pitch black darkness of my basement quite a bit where I've seen and felt things that were not there after turning on the lights. They came from the world of Mind. It is not a delusion. It is the world of Mind. Or rather, the world of Reality. As you may recall in
A Being That Syntactically Self-Distributes Itself I merged with God a number of times while still living at home in my bedroom, where the sun's light exhibited the distinct characteristic of self-awareness. I will provide you with a more satisfactory argument as we go along.
Are you going to provide any actual evidence for heaven or God or merging with Christ, or just more of your imaginings?
No offence taken but you require both an understanding of Metaphysics in all its splendor as well as the logical and empirical evidence for what I hesitate to call the "supernatural".
What's the empirical evidence for the supernatural? And what "logical" evidence do you have - or is this just somthing that "stands to reason" for you (but not necessarily for anybody else)?
Do you claim to undestand metaphysics in all its splendor? Do you think your cult leader Langan does, perhaps?
You have a one-track mind. This "reality" of yours doesn't seem to connect much with the reality that the rest of us experience.
The superficiality of atheism is the product of inferior understanding or failing to witness God.
I agree with the failing to witness God part.
Please explain the inferior understanding part. Are you claiming to have a superior understanding?
Whereas we are all in fact special and can and do have access to Truth and Light.
What? Magically, by direct perception? And "special" compared to what?
When one dies, one's spirit transitions into an alternate dimension.
How do you know?
How does that happen?
How do you know people have spirits?
Do you have any evidence of any of this, or just a wish that this might happen?
There are so many dimensions that we do not observe while living. Hell, Heaven, purgatory, limbo...
If you don't observe them, how do you know they exist?
