perception versus conception

​Question:  It seems you are saying that Virgil, the man who had his eyesight restored midlife [Chapter 11, in the Time Out!], was having a religious experience that he could not recognize as such, in fact it was a source of confusion.  Please elaborate.
 
Response:  I made no assertion that Virgil was having a religious experience.  His confusion was in his inability to (visually) conceptualize perceptual experience.  I only used his story in The Grand Delusion to illustrate the distinction I am making between perception and conception.
