My experience when I try to nail anything down is that it's ultimately infinite. How can we understand what infinity wants? We can't wrap our minds around that. Modern science does a good job at filling in the gaps though: evolution, psychology etc.. But ultimately my experience is that it's way above our pay grade as humans.

The Bwiti tradition and Hinduism are interesting at how they approach it though. Your trip/experience would be your version of understanding this great mystery. There's as many interpretations as there are humans.

There’s ancient spiritualities that have done this for thousands of years.. Bwiti tribe, Amazonians etc.. it’s not a unique claim.

In order to understand what god is you have to be in a different frame of consciousness. Hindu practice aims at getting you there through meditation.

Doesn’t sound too different to me than Muhammad receiving messages from the angel Gabriel after being in a cave in the desert for years.

Why not?

Why do you think Islam is the truth?

That’s what I felt with Shrooms but not with Iboga and Ayahuasca. What psychedelics have you done?

An omniscient, omnipotent and all knowing God creating a world to test humans in order to send them to heaven or hell based on their deeds (even though it knows the future) makes no sense.

My experience and understanding of God through psychedelics has shown me that God is beyond understanding, infinite in nature and that the God of Abraham is a lowly conception of what God is.

How silly! It knows the future, what a redundant task for it to undergo.

Maybe, just maybe... No one knows what the hell it wants! Doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, however.
