Nah...although I did feel this way as recently as last year....I see the research pointing to something else: that these "mystical states" are actually happening as a result of brain processes.

Religion (imo) has been the human races' best (and sometime even beautiful) -attempt at explaining the unexplainable....and in time, we will be able to explain it fully.

"There is no ghost in the machine"

There is a ghost in the machine. That ghost is called consciousness - which is awareness. Religion is at fault often times, mainly because so much of it has become big business. Different states of consciousness is not a misnomer - it is really that. Of course I believe that the elevation of states of consciousness can cause the brain to behave in different ways. Do we know what infinity is? In calculus we have a sideways number 8. Science will never be able to explain everything fully. As you dig deeper, the depth increases but the span remains.

I also find it incredible that Buddhist thought (along with many other ancient wisdom tradition's thought) is completely complimentary with science in it's latest discoveries. Whats funny is that mystics have made many claims about 2,000 years ago that science has had nothing to say of until recently. Science is mechanical and systematic.

In addition, quantum physics has lately discovered that the observer (consciousness) actually effects the outcome of scientific experiments. This 'blows the top' off of 'objective observance'. Now science might have to start over with a new approach to really be 'objective'.

Einstein said something similar to this "If Democritus was right, the bewildering complexity of the world was nothing more than an elaborate illusion."
