understanding, comprehending and have a sense of connection to what the word god points to from this perspective is like understanding, comprehending and have a sense of connection to your awake life while dreaming... If you manage to do that (comprehending life while sleeping) that is called Lucid dreaming (and that can be done on many levels). If you manage to comprehend and sense God self while in this physical body you are (in my view) "enlightened" (the word I use for "awake lucid dreaming").
