Spiritual experience, as opposed to everyday life? No. Why would anything be different than anything else?

There is a wise ole adage that goes, "Wake up, insert head in anus, and continue as if it were yesterday."

Enlightenment is a three-step process. The first step begins with a "POP" and a blinding light. That is the sound of the head coming out of the anus when one is awake, and the blinding light is what one would experience should they see themselves for the first time. The second step is to understand what to do once the shock wares off. The third stage is developing compassion for your fellow man because of the new-found understanding that they, too live in a perpetual state of head-inserted-in-anus, but even more so for yourself. That is because just a moment after enlightenment, human nature forces us to insert it back in for fear of confronting the emotional baggage that comes with a lifetime of somnambulistic mediocrity, or self-serving moralistic postulating, not that this describes you, or anyone else on the board, here at Aikiweb. Perhaps we can all mention it to that other guy we know, the one we see in the mirror when brushing our teeth after waking up.

I no longer participate in or read the discussion forums here on AikiWeb due to the unfair and uneven treatment of people by the owner/administrator.
