This is rather funny. I would say the requirement for the reporting of so called spiritual experiences on FFL, to avoid the routine belittling and lampooning of such experiences, had to meet the following requirements, and post the following disclaimers. I hereby acknowledge and DECLARE that this experience has absolutely NO IMPORTANCE and is akin to brushing my teeth. I hereby acknowledge and DECLARE that this experience could JUST AS LIKELY be the result of RANDOM BRAIN ACTIVITY. I hereby acknowledge and DECLARE that there is an equal possibility that this experiences was a result of mood making as from any true “spiritual” experience or awakening. In fact I must concede that this is likely the case. And, as long as the reporting of such experiences met these requirements, (and others) they were given a pass. If not, let the ridicule begin. Just sayin'
And let's face it, if I came on like gangbusters here and touted my spiritual experiences, the mob would tear my descriptions asunder.....as has been done to every single person who has come here to report suchlike. NOT every single person. Show me who has taken Salyavin or Curtis to task for mentioning their Unity experiences, or Anartaxius for writing about some of his experiences. I don't remember that happening. Why? Well, IMO because when they did so it was pretty matter-of-fact (this happened) and devoid of pretense (this thing that happened "meant" what I say it did and nothing else). Now think back to how many people -- not just myself -- have reacted to those whose ego was flashing like a neon sign and who seemed unable to describe any experience without declaring what it "means" and how superior that makes them.
