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.” …

So did I. He was at a 7-11 store getting a slurpy and some munchies.
“What is your name?”
“Five seconds, Bob.”
I have to credit listening to Cheech & Chong as a kid with killing any desire I ever had to try drugs.
You people are mistaken. Paul is dead. Have you ever listened to a Wings album?
LOL! “Ding dong ding dong ding dong” was inspired!
“I buried Paul!”
I heard that on a Beatles album.
“McCartney would have been the most sought after studio musician in England otherwise.”
I think Jimmy Page already had that distinction by the time he joined the Yardbirds.
He’s as normal a family guy as a highly successful rocker can get, but every now and then he says something stupid. I hope he has a real encounter with his Creator before it’s too late.
Had it not been for his Beatles’ cache, he never would had a hit. And you wouldn’t know his name.
Thanks for those kind words. Although it happened many decades ago, sometimes it feels like yesterday.
The final 10 days was a nightmare that included a last hope trip to Mexico where I had to carry her in my arms and later personally convince the pilot in San Diego to allow her on the plane to get her back home to pass.
My girls were only 4 and 1 and I feel so bad for them to not have any memories of their mother although my oldest has vague impressions or, perhaps, just the idea of her mother.
WOW! I’m curious has your wife come to you in a vision while you slept?
I have had a few experiences myself.
By all accounts Paul McCartney is an MLA (Major League A$$hole), even aside from his “Who asked you?” political comments. So if he thinks he saw God while tripping, and considering his formidable ego, chances are he was simply looking in a mirror and mistook the image for Deity. I change stations whenever anything he did post-Beatles comes on the radio. Not so much because of his politics and reputation as an arrogant pr***, but because most of it’s commercial grade crap.
“Strawberry fields forever” reversed becomes “A pair of sleepy red moose”.
To answer your question - no, she has never appeared in visions - awake or sleeping.

My wife, literally “the girl next door”, passed at the hospital ~ 5am. By the time I returned home, I was quite exhausted from being up 24 hours and, of course, the experience. I sat rocking in my wood rocking chair feeling totally numb and very clearly heard her voice whisper in my ear, “Honey, I’m OK”.
I don’t doubt that someone can have a spiritual encounter while intoxicated on drugs. I just doubt that they are encountering a good spiritual being.
“If you’re listening to a rock star in order to get your information on who to vote for, you’re a bigger moron than they are,” he said. “Why are we rock stars? Because we’re morons. We sleep all day, we play music at night and very rarely do we sit around reading the Washington Journal.”
