What every physicist "knows"

Humans are physical organisms, through and through, but quite uniquely have "access" to certain subjective experiences. These can not be proven to exist, or even that they occurred, except that someone SAYS they do exist, and did occur. There are people who say they have been taken up in spaceships, and probed. There are people who say they have met Mary, the mother of God, or Jesus, the Son of God. There are people who say they can read other people's minds from a great distance. There are people who say they can move objects up an incline with their mind. Saying something does NOT make it True.

Animals also have subjective experiences, but they do not have "access" to them, so they don't tell anyone about them... be thankful for that... you can only imagine what this world would then be like... very likely MUCH more dangerous!

Physicists know all this, and deal with it. Psychologists, Priests, Rabbis, Philosophers, New Age and older Gurus, Rishis, Roshis, self-styled Masters, Magicians, and many others - even quite ordinary, everyday, routine people - do not seem to know this, and believe all manner of strange, subjective experiences, supplying the "reasons" and "rationales" to things that most people on Earth don't buy for one second... yet.

There is one area where believing things without sufficient, rational evidence, is dangerous, and that is the "Game of Enlightenment" (which it is, or should be). Many people believe they are "self realized", even signing their name as "Self-Realized Ralph", but there is no point listening to them any longer. They have fallen for the same silliness the UFO believers, and GOD believers, and Ghost believers (and many others, of course) have fallen for. They believe that which means nothing objectively, but only subjectively, and there can't be any Objective Proof for such things... yet.

This is not to say, categorically, that certain subjective experiences a person has had did not exist for that person, but that their explanation is faulty, often to the point of being laughable. Generally, people lack the "English" (or whatever is their mother tongue) to be able to speak about these experiences in a way that can be adequately communicated to another walking around human being who appears conscious and alert. It is partly, the "confusion of tongues" thing, and partly only seeing 1% of what is going on in whatever realm, while there is 99% that they simply can NOT perceive... yet.

Such, is what all the "Great Teachings" are all about. Passing on "New Information" to those who have an overwhelming urge and desire to KNOW IT, and in some cases the 99% can be spoken about... in the right setting, in the right time and place, i.e., when conditions are optimal. You can't teach cosmic truths to a TV audience hosted by Oprah, or Deepak Chopra, or Eckhart Tolle; all you get is a mish-mash of ordinary bullshit that SOUNDS silky smooth and perhaps even enlightening (to the untrained eye/ear), but is simply:
