It comes as no surprise to me that variants of the term 'delusion' so frequently creep into discussions of this nature where people are so certain that delusion played no part in their personal interpretation of their remarkable and inexplicable experiences.
We are all deluded to some extent, some more than others. It comes with the territory of being human with our inescapable and unavoidable inherent fallibility. Some of us are just better equipped for determining when and how. The process is reason and the method is epistemology. It is those who are unable or unwilling to recognise this facet of their humanity and who deny its existence who suffer the most with and from their delusions, piling delusion upon delusion until it's turtles all the way down.
Until one is willing to accept and acknowledge the inherently human need to ask and answer the question of how they know what they know they will never be able to distinguish between what they understand explicitly and objectively and what they only believe they know . . . simply because it feels right.
The most pernicious kind of delusion is the one that you refuse to consider that you might be concealing from yourself. I find anyone who rejects the label of delusional out of hand highly suspect . . . at the very least.
