Former Beatle Paul McCartney has told a British newspaper he believes he once saw God during a psychedelic trip.

The 76-year-old star told The Sunday Times he was “humbled” by the experience.

He said that “it was huge. A massive wall that I couldn’t see the top of, and I was at the bottom. And anybody else would say it’s just the drug, the hallucination, but we felt we had seen a higher thing.” …

Cheech: And now it’s time to play “Let’s Make A Dope Deal”—The show where small time dealers try to parlay their stash so that they can become big-time pushers. And here is our first guest, a former Harvard professor of philosophy, a holder of a PhD., an MA, a BA, and he’s a BMF besides, Bob Bitchin. How do you feel Bob?”

Chong: Bitchin!

Cheech: Did you hear that folks? Bob, what made you drop out?

Chong: Well, my mother thinks it was the four hundred acid trips I took; but that wasn’t it, man. One day, I played a Black Sabbath record at 78rpm.

Cheech: Yes?

Chong: I saw God, man.

Cheech: You saw God...well, that sounds like true enlightenment to me, Bob.

I am always skeptical of private revelation. Was he listening to floyd?

I’m sure he saw lots of things while tripping.

God told him to sing a song to his old English sheepdog, Martha.

A leftist for sure, but he did defend our stand. after 9-11.

Take a brain altering chemical. Brain tells you something new. Decide you have seen god.

This is why we don’t listen to rock stars.

That explains where “Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time” came from.

Seeing God, and a new album to hawk.

What a coincidence.

He saw a large wall but couldn’t see the top?

Maybe Paul saw 50 plus years into the future, and saw the wall that President Trump is going to build on the U.S. / Mexican border.

Also, if Paul really saw God, I hope God told Paul to stop using LSD.

Paul being a Beatle _had_ to see something special that no mere mortal could under the same influence.

Except the Bible says, the next time anyone sees God.......”Every eye shall see him.” Jesus himself warned about people who said they saw God...

“See, I have told you in advance. 26So if they tell you, ‘There He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out; or, ‘Here He is in the inner rooms,’’ do not believe it. 27For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.…”

Paul saw nothing except maybe an Probably an unshaven Ringo.

“but we felt we had seen a higher thing”

Is that the royal we, or was he with somebody?

Harrison once said the he and Lennon would not trip with Paul. They didn’t like him much in the later years of the Beatles and beyond.

Rock stars make poor decisions, like marrying one legged gold diggers without a prenup.

The world would be a much better place had there never been the Beatles.

“And then he saw Yoko,”

And said, “Oh no!”

And if you play a Beatles record backwards (those of you who still have one) it’ll say that Satan is king or something something.

He woke up and was looking at the bathroom floor he had passed out on.
