How do you experience the Divine?
This question is asking for your personal experience of divinity, not theory and beliefs coming from scripture please. This pertains to everyone from all faith traditions and spiritual backgrounds. As such, everyone's answer is completely valid.
Thank you for taking the time to answer :)

Here is what I have learned from both sides of the fence. The universe is about 14.5 billion years old. While God did create it, he also used science to seed life here and watch it develop. He provided some spiritual direction in as much as he inspired some holy men to write things down that we now call a Bible. Sadly many have corrupted the Bible which has led to Atheism. Also religion and its leaders have led many away from their spiritual side instead of seeing the bigger picture. The flood was only in the area of Mesopotamia where man resided. There is a God and he truly is a God of love. He has lovingly given us free will so we may learn, develop and grow as a species. Everyone wants to blame him when they suffer problems from their own bad decisions. They forget to thank him for all he has done when things go right. He is so very forgiving and really wants the best for all of us. But if he rescues us from our problems we will not learn to solve them on our own. He will help you if you ask him for help but because so many do not believe him they do not see it when he helps them. He wants all the souls to return to him, the source of our life. The only way to do that is by showing unconditional love to one another.

The answer I have come to is a scientific one. I don't know. I have decided that I am not meant to so divinity is life and death. There is beauty and wonder in both Together all powerful apart meaningless. Thus to experience the 'divine' you must live in wonder and full of passion and die in hope. If you feel you can overcome the sadness of knowing your death may be simply an end without sense or meaning then try it. If death is final then life gains a beauty beyond measure if it is not the you have experienced life so fully you will be praised.

When I dance they call me Macarena
And the boys they say que estoy buena
They all want me, they can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me, chant with me
And if you're good I'll take you home with me
set ena pol and a hena macarena
h and a so onapeeda
set en a pol an a hena macarena
Hey Macarena!
(Ay!)

The only way you can be sure to experience the divine is to die.
(Provided, of course, that there really is a divine to be experienced.)
