In my opinion, religions are fine as far as they go, but they don't go nearly far enough. There is so much more to a spiritual life than what your mind thinks about things. It is so great to know that on DU there are others who agree with me on this, who perhaps have experienced it themselves.

I don't think it is a coincidence that this kind of spiritual experience is especially known to people who have developed some expertise in some artistic field.
