I hear ya. I do like to read about people "journeys" and missteps like the one guy who wandered off to India as a teenager and learned all kinds of stuff and came back and wrote a book about it. But indeed enlightenment is something to be experience not dissected ad nausea which seems to be the favorite sport here.
