Yes, some of what I said is personal observation based on incomplete knowledge. But the basic fact of the quality of consciousness achieved through meditation is based on hundreds of brain scans. It is not a hallucination, those light up different parts of the brain.
Yea, my opinion of learned religion is on the down side, Anyone paying attention to recent history can get that.
BTW-a connection to the universe that is environmental is very cool. Happy to checkout any books you recommend on the subject.

On the flip side, whats your standard of 'this is real"?
