COMMENT:

Spare us. Claims by shamans and divines that they had some kind of
sixth sense or special pipeline to god, go way back. The first fool was
the first guy who got rooked out of money or power by one of those
knaves.

Sure, you can't explain color to the colorblind, or sight to the blind.
But it's as easy to demonstrate that you have something they lack, as
ability to read an colortest eyechart, or a punch in the nose.

There is nothing that parallels this for the so-called spritual vision.
Indeed, such people not only do not have extra powers (none has yet
claimed the Randi prize) but they do not even agree with each other
when tested in blinded conditions where they cannot communicate. I
think the rest of us who can tell red from green would pass a blinded
test on it quite well. And our direct perceptions could be backed up by
spectrometry to boot.

So again, spare us.  You might feel you have some special ESP, but the
world is full of people who think they're special.  It's so full of
them that Las Vegas fleeces millions of them a year, and they come back
to take it again and again. There's one born every minute.
