One time, I prayed and prayed, nonstop for years for God to talk to me. Then, a friend of mine, I will call him Mister Natural, stopped by my house, an hour later, poof! , there was God, but only for a minute, because then His face melted into the carpet.
How about you?

Yes!
The year was 1976, I remember it well, it was the bicentennial year.
I won't go into the place, but I will tell you it was a controlled drug experiment, held under the auspices of a world renowned foundation!
It was called the "Timothy Leary Tibetan Book of the Dead controlled drug program".
I was injected with pure LSD 25, and experienced enough to realize that no drugs were necessary to attain elevated states of consciousness. This ended a long drug habit. This was the last of my drug experiences. From that point on I went through Transcendental Meditation, and through the TM Siddhis program. Learned to levitate, etc, etc, etc.
I met a great teacher that told me I had to throw all of that in the waste basket, and I did.
I have been practicing Sufism ever since. This is indeed the correct path for a simple fool as such myself.
End of story!

~~~ 8Track ,,,,How about getting a New Label for that which you don't understand and call it something other than "god" and/or "a Religious Experience" . I'm not a Tripper but I have experienced things from Plant Sources. Try reading some of the experiences that some of the Great Minds have had w/Hallucinogens like, Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception", Alan Watts' "The Joyous Cosmology" , Carlos Castaneda, Terrence McKenna, etc, etc, and study some basic Shamanism and Ethnobotany, etc, etc, ~~ Namaste`

large question. you're raising the old omni-benevolent (all stable) vs. Omniscient (all understanding/all contemporary) argument. Many philosophers, and scientists, might agree that loose will is incompatible with the assumption of a private god. regrettably, i will't be of greater help to you, as i'm an agnostic and reject the assumption of a private god. In you're analogy, besides the fact that, i might say that if i replaced into an artist and created particularly artwork, i could be content cloth with the effect. For i might have thrown away any effect that did no longer gain my ingenious and prescient--very like a painter might throw away preliminary sketches till s/he arrived on the appropriate rendering.

I was always afraid to invite Mister Natural over, I worried that I might see the demons I'd been threatened with growing up.

I've had a lot of chemical induced experiences, but I never had a religious one. Thank goodness for that.

I once ate a hash cake and thought I saw a bat. Might have been a demon.
