While I certainly agree that "people's mileage may vary" in terms of experience, I do not agree that there is any one or "correct" or "true" interpretation of what those experiences "mean." They're just experiences, *including* those commonly referred to as signs of "enlightenment" around here.

You're making a good point here, Xeno. IMO, this issue has been discussed by many theologians in the past. I don't believe a mere creature can call the Creator a liar, although this is certainly proof that humans have been granted the freedom of choice. This is somewhat similar to Elie Wiesel
