nope. nothing at you personally, just seemed a relevant point in the thread to interject. Never met an enlightened monotheistic of any of the new age 'book religions', Christian, Jew or Muslim. the're all the same to me.

I would also hazard a guess that there are people out there who would use some form of drugs to enhance such an experience. I am not saying everybody uses drugs, but allegedly it is a form of a contact with the spiritual world for some tribesmen. I can see why it can be interpreted this way as your senses are amplified and you feel overwhelming emotion at times too.
I am wondering what your opinions are in reponse to my post.

Thats an interesting statement, i don't see religion as Spiritual, and if anything only designed to guide people away from the truth, because if you were enlightened the last place you would ever find yourself is a church. As i said, my post was not directed at you, but more to the video which you linked too where they had a very 'religious' view of enlightenment, and seemed to me to be an attempt to encompass Spiritual beliefs into a religious format by including some ridiculous statement about enlightenment only being possible through some guy called Jesus. WTF has Jesus got to do with anything? Smacks of Christianity to me, and their stand up straight, and don't speak with your mouthful attitude is really quite boring and unnecessary.

You didn't, and although you don't seem to advocate it, there was a picture of Jesus on a candle in the video. You see grains of truth, i see splinters of hypocracy.
