I like you pyraxis and you give off an extremely credible artist vibe. I have crossed over from religion to science to magic to art in my mind (I've got no problem in affiliating or dissociating with any of them) and just consider myself an artist whenever I'm writing something. I try to fit things into factual writing which can only fit into art and therefore I think everything I write is bullshit and yet I don't at the same time. (It's probably just inadequate, or not up to standards I would wish for)

So what is it that people are discovering, when they have the spiritual revelation?

 Their inner insainity

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Yes, I'm familiar with crossing the boundaries between religion, science, art and magic, or as I think of it, between rational and intuitive thought (hence my fascination with neuroscience).

I maintain several internally consistent but contradictory belief systems. It was a major revelation the time I accepted this for what it is, and stopped beating them against each other, trying to come out with a single cohesive philosophy to explain my experience of the universe. So I often find myself answering posts from one system or another one, which throws some people off from the outside. Anyway I totally understand how everything a person writes can be both bullshit and not bullshit at the same time.

Probably the same kind of chemical reactions some folks experience near death. White light and all that stuff.

Summing it up (and I paraphrase House): I find it comforting to know that this not just a test.
