Anyone getting a glimpse of the kingdom of Heaven by unnatural means is a thief sneaking in over the fence. They will be thrown out. Although, I think shrooms might be an exception, because God made nature so I guess that's sort of like an allowable cheat code to point you in the right direction.
Nevertheless, there is one Way to naturally break the extradimensional veil in your mind; such a Path allows a consistent residence in the Kingdom.

Lets assume that the guys at CERN are trying to do that (which of course they are not)if you believe in god then you believe that he created everything, which would include subatomic particles and the Higgs Field and quarks etc...so, its still all "natural" and you should still be happy with their work.

a 17 mile long circular tunnel with countless machines and computers is the opposite of natural. I'm not saying they should be shut down or anything, just expressing my opinions. I think the human body is adequate, and extradimensional exploration was the norm back before we alienated ourselves from reality (nature).

So your god creates us with curiosity but wouldn't want us probing the universe that it created?
Out of curiosity, what was the limit?
Was building a telescope to look into space ok?
Was building ships to travel the world and discover new species ok?
Maybe particle accelerators are whats wrong? What about the first one? The small 9inch cyclotron built?
Or was the limit the neutrino detectors? Just curious...when did we reach a point where you feel we should have stopped or was "unnatural"?

as i said "I'm not saying they should be shut down or anything". Science was necessary to transcend the era of hypocritical blind religious dogma, but ironically knowledge is all reverting back to those ancient texts of wisdom.
With that being said, I think the artificial means of microscopic and macroscopic observation have befuddled us. Most people don't even know the length of a lunar year, the axial tilt of earth, etc, yet mostly everyone "knows" the theoretical count of billions of stars in billions of galaxies, or a 14.whatever billion year age for the universe. Similarly on the microscopic perspective, we have not fully ascertained the implications of the atomic model, yet we still dig deeper and thus deepen the theoretical framework. It's like moving onto a calculus class when you still don't understand arithmetic.

I disagree entirely (maybe cuz i studied physics at uni and so am biased) but i respect your opinion mate.

Appreciated . I guess my main point was that the human potential remains untapped, and searching outside of it for answers may be misleading. As awesome as, for example, scanning electron microscopes are, it doesn't necessarily help me understand wtf is going on in this mysterious human condition.
Best of luck on your quest for knowledge.
