I think that the question that has to be answered is whether you do have something that could legitimately be called a "perception of God" in the same sense that we perceive things with our normal senses. How about addressing that point, rather than taking it for granted ?

Perception of God ?
Since you still haven't answered my Message 16 I want to raise the point again.
Your argument rests on the assumption that you have a "perception of God". But I haven't seen anything that supports that or even explains what you mean.
Now I'll point out that even when dealing with sensory perceptions we do a reasonable job of identifying false perceptions (like hallucinations and dreams) and erroneous perceptions (illusions). But I doubt that you are referring to a sensory perception. Which means we have to ask just what is it you are talking about - and if it really is the "basic perception" you claim.
I don't believe that it is.
