- No. This is still a personal definition of what I see as true or basic spirituality which is different from both all types of mind-based methods of studying reality and indoctrination based approaches which are not so bad but can end up badly if they are completely disconnected from our inner urge to become more aware of this Inner Reality I have been talking about.

But you said, ‘Of everything that’s worth knowing. That’s what happens when you are spiritually enlightnened.’

This plainly exclude non-enlightened people from knowing things that are worth knowing. Non-enlightened people may know how to build a boat, write a sonnet, prepare a tasty meal, repair a damaged heart, and so on. You’re clearly stating (your gibberish above notwithstanding) that these things are not worth knowing.
