perhaps it's because it takes a while for oneself to get close enough to thier creator such that no real separation is apparent. and while there are more versions of "normal" behavior than there are bedsheets drying in the summer sun, ANY deviance from this hyperflexible notion automatically brands a person as "outside" this "norm". it may be as simple as others being afraid of what they can't understand thus they belittle the experience by calling it a "disease". there's also another view: religion is for those afraid of going to hell. spirituality is for those who have already been there. personally i ascribe the whole deal to, "those who say do not know, and those who know do not say."-the corollary being that they needn't "say it" because thier entire being exudes "it" every moment of thier lives. thanks for the chance to put this stuff down! this may be the clearest i've ever stated it. fancy that.
