"What difference does it make to the one who had the experience?"

well, I for one would be interested in knowing whether I had been drugged, hypnotized, tricked, was a victim of my own wishful thinking,..or had REALLY seen a dragon. The point is not whether I had an 'experience'...if it was intense and clear, sure I did...but that does not explain causality.

" It's spiritual thought-energy condensed into recognizable waveforms".....ummmm, and this thought-energy was condensed from what?

"Thought did not arise spontaneously and mysteriously at some point out of inert matter.".....not exactly- it arose from 'ert' matter. And not 'mysteriously'-- when matter gets 'ert' enough, (like a human brain), thought IS what happens, and experience is continuity of thought stored in little repetitive bio-chemical patterns of great complexity.

Hey....I'm beginning to like this making broad statements that sound authoritative! I just have to avoid 2nd guessing myself.....or do I?
