Spirituality may be beautiful but most likely is brain damage
I stumbled on this video the other day. It's worth watching.

A scientist whose field is brain studies talks about her personal experience of having an epiphany during a brain stroke. It's touching, and there's nothing supernatural in what she went through.

I had a similar delightful experience when meditating. Maybe not that strong, but sounds similar.
Anyway, eventually the meditation is over and you gotta go back to being a real, separate person in a real world.
But hey, there's always a lobotomy choice :))) Psychiatrist used to love giving those! We can open a new era with 'cut out ur left hemisphere, live in nirvana' call!
