Imagine if you could get access to the mind of a small bird that flies around the world navigating with the help of the Earth's magnetic field. You would probably think you accessed the mind of GOD, yet you just melded with a BIRD BRAIN!
Or imagine if you got access to the communication that goes on between trees in a forest, or bees in a hive, you would think you united with the World Soul...
Or imagine if a dog or a monkey got access to the mind of a human. They would think *your* mind is divine!
Somehow, this makes all mystical experiences problematic. I'm not saying they aren't real. But how do we know they come from God, as in Ultimate Reality and Ground of Existence? Maybe they come from the plane of existence immidiately above ours, while the total number of planes is ENDLESS.
