However that does not mean I completely ignore spirituality. I think that neither science nor spirituality can give us all the answers - but maybe they are two sides of the same coin?
Life, the universe and everything is simply too complex for us humans to comprehend - which is why we try and expain it with spirituality and science.

On the contrary to your statement, I guess I've felt "neglected" or "misplaced" by the universe - never connected to it. I feel that I do not belong here, that I've gone back a step or something, to a world that does not share my idealistic beliefs in freedom, curiosity, non-violence and love. I don't feel a spiritual connection to anyone - not even my parents. Even when I'm in a situation surrounded by people who appreciate my company, I feel like the fifth wheel on the wagon. The feeling of not belonging "here" is strong in me.

If you ask me, organized religion is one of the reasons earth is such a hell hole: the other reasons being man's craving for might and possesions. Spirituality can obviously be a good thing, but I believe it HAS to be individual and not an organized thing. People need to walk their paths themselves in order to discover the truths about themselves. No one can tell them what their goals are, who they are and what they should do. I believe that ppl need to communicate about spirituality ofc, but aligning with any of the big world religions I consider a... don't get offended, but I consider it a weakness - a blind sense of accepting what other people tell you to do (or what books tell you). A strong person for me is an individual who is constantly searching for the truth - an individual who is never satisfied about the answers (s)he get but instead always has another question. You seldom see that kind of individuals in say, your everyday sunday church.

In regards to your birth -stuff: I do not believe in the oxygen depravation -theory. To me it's just as nonsensical as this chid-vaccine -theory that floated around a few years ago (the one which turned out to be completely bogus).

Oxygen depravation kills brain cells - people with autism does not have less brain cells: we have slightly different neural-networks, which is why we see the world and treat the world differently. Having autism is like being from a paralell universe - that's how I try and explain it to the few people who actually dare to ask questions about my handicap (which aren't many btw).

EDIT: Also, did you know that DMT is called "the spirit molecule"??? Imo it's THE most interesting hallucinogen on the planet. Terrence McKenna tried it a bunch of times and talked a lot about his visions. You should look him up if you are curious.

You do realize that you are reflecting in your statements what was part of,
"The Matrix" plot, regarding the character, "Neo"? Yes?

Also, concerning perspectives of, "Organized Religion"... People agree on theology, and Faith, and get together to practice that Faith and recognition of Truth. They feel affinity, friendship, and share...

That is then, "Organized Religion".
What... they shouldn't get together then? Isn't that ridiculous?
Of course they should.


But what you are citing about weakness and failure, actually involves inherent human nature, which is included in what, "Organized Religion", recognizes, and speaks of.
The need to transcend inherent issues of human nature.


Modern science and religion are coming into alignments, and are agreeing.
The Truth can be seen in the various faiths, and, "Religions", which are existent.
Including this:

God is Truth.

Question...

apparently oxygen deprivation at birth may cause autism/aspergers which is interesting. ive heard that when you are dying, the brain releases huge amounts of DMT which is a serotonin agonist. So when i was born i was getting a huge amount a DMT (serotonin) pumped into my brain. interesting eh?
anyone else on here with autism/aspergers?
===============================================
I've heard of "autism" of course--although I don't really know much about it. Guess I could do the old google trick of course. LOL But I've never heard of "aspergers." Could you elaborate a little more regarding that? And could you also tell me more about how it is you feel you have a very strong connection to God? (Great love for people? Enhanced biblical understanding, etc?) Thanks.
