I don't believe the author of stuff about gods dwelling in cows hairs
anymore than myths about pixies or elves. Just hand-me-down folklore,
good for kids.
I don't think a strong scientific outlook on creation, human
migration patterns, physiology, astronomy, or whatever, precludes any
number of personal hypotheses and even experiences of realms science
does not (yet) touch on. Science is a great light, but it does not
shine in all quarters.
While I may not hold to the embellished details of myths about pixies
and elves, I do believe, but can't prove it to you, that nature is
alive with various "nature spirits" and the universe is alive with
celestial powers. Until science can disprove my experiential based
hypothesis, I will sustain it. Again, a scientific view and a
"metaphysical" of things beyond the realm of science is quite
compatible.
I've been reading a text over the last month which is an absolutely incredible presentation of the entire path from basic sitting meditation, up thorough all the various levels of practice, right up to complete enlightenment and attainment of the rainbow body. The experiential details of the last stages of enlightenment do deal specifically with styles of awareness where one experiences entire universes, dimensions and their beings at the level of subtlty of a hair (and smaller). So to me SBS's description seems like a veiled description of these states of consciousness which are also referred to in other experiential mystical literature.
