As a matter of curiosity, how do religious experiences as described
above differ from aesthetic experiences such as seeing the Grand
Canyon or the statute of David for the first time? In other words, do you
view aesthetic experiences as DQish also? In fact, are religious and
aesthetic experiences only different in name?
I think so.
