SD in away Tinker was a good example In a moment of enlightenment, tinker was out to save the world or convert it to his way of thinking, to him it was right and he was being very very insightful. To me he said the same thing over and over again and what I heard was not much of anything insightful, but a broken recording.
The rev moon is a good modern day example of some one taking beliefs and twisting it to their own desires, Absolute power corrupts absolutely. My experience with moments of enlightenment is they are very personal and have insight, but none of them have been a direction to go and save the world, create a new belief system, or follow me I have found the way. I did write telling about one of my early experiences and during the the event I told "God" "As far as I was concerned he could to go to hell and stay there" What the response from what I consider to be "God" was.. "I created that joint in the first place please tell me how you are going to but me there?" then there was silence.. That is a mere 19 words spent. I do not see how that can be brought to be a command to save the world or start a new religion. >From this experience ,, do I know everything,, definitely not. but I look at other people that have these "spiritual" insights and I see them having much to say, and when I compare them to what I have experienced they leave me wondering. I have meet face to face other that have gone through similar experiences and there are things that seem to hold in common. Not many words are spent, it is a fantastic experience and none of us have ever been told to save the world.
