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.” …

No, it doesn't. Not at all.

Do you think God is a wall?

Oh my gosh, what a nightmare. Trying to imagine but it’s hard.

At least your daughters had you as their loving dad.

I Can Only Imagine

I can only imagine what it will be like
When I walk, by your side
I can only imagine what my eyes will see
When you face is before me

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel
Will I dance for you Jesus
Or in awe of You be still
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall
Will I sing hallelujah
Will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

I can only imagine when that day comes
When I find myself standing in the Son
I can only imagine when all I would do is forever
Forever worship You

I can only imagine
I can only imagine

Surrounded by Your glory
What will my heart feel
Will I dance for You, Jesus
Or in awe of you be still
Will I stand in your presence
Or to my knees will I fall
Will I…

So would this be the original Paul, or the replacement Paul after he died and they buried him?

Hmmm.... Inquiring minds want to know.

If it is the original Paul, then all I can say is, “Fake news, buddy. Fake news. Hallucinations are not God.”

I think Jimmy Page already had that distinction by the time he joined the Yardbirds.

John Paul Jones played on a lot of records as well, he was part of the English "Wrecking Crew" before he joined Zep.

Sounds like a true visitation. I’m sorry for your loss and also for your children having been bereaved. Hope you are all coping. There is no getting over such a loss; it’s enough to get through it and just to learn to live with it.

If you are believers, you will meet again.

It was the wall between him and god.

Well said. Obviously he gave no thought to the possibility that his remark may cause another generation of foolish kids to take drugs, if only for a cheap imitation of "seeing God." The Bible warns of this -- in the last days people will say they see Him here, they see Him there, but Jesus warned not to chase after such rumors. When He returns, everyone on earth will know Him at the same time and seeing Him will be overwhelming and immediately apparent to all.

"I quote John Lennon, “I don’t believe in ‘Beatles’, I just believe in me.” Good point there. After all, he was the Walrus. I could be the Walrus, I’d still have to bum rides off of people."
