The story is bogus. We know there is no supernatural, because it does not show up on instruments. So it's not there. He was on drugs, and hallucinated.
It showed up on the human instrument. Love, honor, mercy, courage, honesty, and self-sacrifice don't show up on instruments designed to measure force or quantity, but they're still perceptible, their measure is taken by experience, and they lie behind the greatest and most forceful events in history.
