I found an essay online about spirituality, and this is what I find describes what I think "rings true"--I guess you could say, comforts me most.

Tell me what you think.
I read it and re-read it, and I have a found some flaws in this person's argument--if you can call it an argument.
She says multiple times that people reach enlightnement, but realistically, what IS enlightnement? Is it where suddenly you don't give a rat's ass anymore, or you're really nice all of a sudden?
Also, a lot of this is very mystical and internal, no proof of anything at all--she doesn't even cite where some of her quotes come from...
" 'We are not human beings having a spiritual experience", said somebody once, 'but spiritual beings having a human experience."
LOL, somebody who???
She also spoke of DNA and science--something which I should REALLY read up on a bit more closely--and I don't know enough about that subject to critique it, so anyone care to do so?
Any other critisicm would be fantastic as well. :]
