"In this survey, we want to characterize various experiences of encounters with something that someone might call: God (e.g., the God of your understanding), Higher Power, Ultimate Reality, or an Aspect or Emissary of God (e.g., an angel)."

Participants in the psychedelic version of the questionnaire were required to fulfill the following inclusion criteria: (1) Were at least 18 years old; (2) Read, write, and speak English fluently; (3) Had not completed the questionnaire previously; (4) Had a God encounter experiences (as described above) after taking a dose of a classic hallucinogen that had moderate to strong psychoactive effects. Participants in the non-drug version of the questionnaire were required to fulfill inclusion criteria 1, 2, and 3 as well as the additional criterion that they had had a God encounter experience (as described above) but that they had never had such an experience after having taken a psychoactive drug.

This final exclusion criterion assured that responses from non-drug respondents were not confounded by having had a drug-occasioned God encounter experience.

He is not capable of listening. When I try to tell him he is not capable of listening of course he does not listen to that either.
He is a theist. He believes in a divine conscious nature of the universe. The New-age conscicle people keep it all so vague and paradoxical that it remains forever beyond reason. Hell, they are proud of being outside of reason.

(EDIT)

Kafei has denied that he is a theist. Also that he believes in a divine conscious nature of the universe. I apparently misrepresented him.
