Does science have any proof that hallucinations exist?  It's all
subjective?

In a near death experience, a potential explanation, but when
meditating, I'm not aware of O2 levels being measured (I have not been
down this rabbit hole).

Quick Google Search

"The relationship between meditation and the body's level of oxygen
consumption is very important for achieving many, many great benefits.
According to researchers, during meditation, oxygen consumption
decreases by 10 to 20%, leading to a deep state of relaxation, even
more effective than a night of sleep.

 After years of research, scientists have provided us with a better
understanding of how meditation can decrease levels of oxygen
consumption. During meditation, there are many changes that occur in
your body. After a few minutes of focused meditation and deep
breathing, you will enter a state of profound relaxation, slowing your
heart beat, breath, and muscle contractions.

The result of deep relaxation, slower breathing, and a lower heart
rate is less oxygen needed in each breath, and fewer breaths needed in
total. In other words, your cells demand less oxygen. Generally, it
takes about six hours of deep sleep to reach this same level of
relaxation and oxygen consumption. In meditation, you can achieve this
result within minutes. "

Disregard the "god" with acts of discipline on Earth; the "nobile"
thinkers most likely injected/used that script/rhetoric for attempting
to control the suckers/loser (et.al; uneducated).  I rather doubt
biblical books were written by the uneducated
