You could be right here. But the question is why has the universe evolved in such a way that we have a consciousness and a physiology that produces these mind-expanding states? I guess if you haven't had such an 'experience' it'd be hard to relate to.

Have you ever considered that this goal you have dedicated your life too is as much a sack of bullshit as Heaven, Angels, and Leprechauns? Chemical scientific analysis of brain functions keeps unlocking the doors to the "white light" and other mystical experiences that have been proven to be hallucinations caused by the chemicals that are manufactured by your brain. Meditate endlessly, and your brain creates a chemical whose effects people have come to know as SATORI. It is not an advanced state of enlightenment, it is just chemicals in your brain. Get with the program. There is no enlightenment. It is all just chemically induced fantasies on the journey to death.
