Such a red herring. And so reminiscent of those autocratic regimes, who always declare their detractors and critics, "crazy". Calling me crazy isn't going to magically establish them in Being, in silence, in permanent witnessing.

As should not be a surprise, I completely agree with you that the science of dissociative disorders pretty much *has* to be considered when evaluating claims of "spiritual experience." If it quacks like dissociation and acts like dissociation but claims to be enlightenment, most sane people are going to come down on the side of dissociation.
