Not at all. I am not castigating any scientist or his understanding of his field of inquiry. In fact I am not questioning any established scientific theory at all.

You manifestly are.

In fact, you people are questioning my experiences and my ideas about them, with absolutely no clue as to what i am talking about ....even though it does not contradict any established theory of science.

I'm not questioning your experiences, but I very definitely am suggesting that there are valid questions relating to your ideas about those experiences, and on what basis you presume they are sufficient to overturn decades, if not centuries, of well evidenced research and observation.

It shows a deep insecurity and fear (the God phobia) born of anti religious sentiment.....even though what I say has nothing to do with religions.

If what you're saying has nothing to do with gods, how is my objecting to your mischaracterising science, individual scientific discoveries and the validity of your own belief system 'god-phobia'?

But I don't blame you.

That's very big of you. I can't say the same, given how often they've been pointed out to you, the errors in your continued peddling of this nonsense have be placed squarely on your shoulders.

These ideas take several generations to be understood and accepted.

No. Ideas do not get better because they get older, they get better if they get more evidence to support them.

You people still seem to be  in the 'science vs religion' stage of cultural development.

Nobody, except you, is talking about religion. You're claiming science but not practicing it; if you want to make fact claims about how the world works you either need to provide information that fits into the scientific framework, or you need to provide an equally valid alternative framework. Instead you make assertions and claim you're at some hyper-advanced level of understanding that the rest of humanity doesn't have some intrinsic sensory capacity to see. You might be correct, but you're not providing anyone with sufficient basis to think that's the case.

Your grandchildren would probably understand.

I understand. I just don't agree, and I'm not prepared to substitute belief for agreement.

No...I am not questioning any established theory of science. I am making a philosophical point about the inner self....which only tries to address different aspects of reality....such as our mind and consciousness.
