It's simple really. It is so simple that it cannot be explained. It is an experience, like diving into a pool. The most gifted writer could devote pages to describing the event but it would never equate with actually diving into the pool. This is how it is with the presence of God, with experiencing God.
Pundits, scholars, intellectuals and assorted cognoscenti come in various colors and containers. For the merely intellectually curious, they may serve for an explanation; after all, they get paid a lot of money to talk about what they don't know. They sell lots of books and all manner of paraphernalia. Some of them get really serious about it and wind up wearing costumes and performing in churches; the whole ball of wax that is formless in the beginning, just like God is ...but which is then shaped into the object of our desire... for devotion, adoration and supplication.
There are stages in the God journey. At the bottom of the ladder is the whole theatrical bit, with rituals and ceremonies and my God can beat up your God and you will be going to Hell if you don't worship my God, or you will convert to my religion or we will cut off your head. That is on the bottom rung. The next stage is when one becomes dissatisfied with the dogma and cant and the tedious hymns and uninspired sermonizing and homilies by those talking about what they don't know. Sometimes this dissatisfaction is brought about by trauma or grievous loss. This is a point where nothing one knows will answer, where one's life has been rendered meaningless by catastrophic event. One goes within.
