I am not presenting an argument above. I'm just saying that this is
something to do with feeling/experiencing/qualia? so I cannot explain it
nor do I expect anyone who doesn't to understand it. I know its not valid.
That is why I hope Someday...

I agree. Reason is a tool, and perhaps the best tool, which is to be used
to approach reality.

I have been wanting to but it seems such an uphill task. Yet, its a

Reminds me of this verse [http://quran.com/69/17 ]:
*And the angels are at its edges. And there will bear the Throne of your
Lord above them, that Day, eight [of them]. *
