I was talking with my friend about what constitutes a "divine experience"
+++
To start -
Why do people say "God is Truth"?
Why do people say "God is Love"?
For me, transcendence, as the opposite of immanence, is what constitutes that divine experience
Love and truth are so absolute in nature that they transcend the mortal realm.
Then I thought about qualia...
Love is kind of like experiencing another's qualia - transcending your own subjective experience to feel another's subjective experience.
And God is often conceptualised as a universal consciousness,
So to have a divine experience is to experience the qualia of God.
