Dear MZ - I'm losing you.
I asked you for your experiences on becoming clean i.e becoming
enlightened or going beyond belief but instead I have is how you
switched from one set of dirty underwear (your beliefs on Vedic
philosophy/MMY) to another set of dirty underwear (Catholicism/Aquinas).

I have had, as it were, up until this decisive moment in my life, no
religious experiences whatsoevera very different antecedent
circumstance than what was the case when I historically (actually) went
through this enlightenment experience ('slipping into Unity').
