King - I think you just made a great post there. I'm sorry if I have been jugemenal of any of you here on the boards as we can have our tendencies to get defensive.
Now I'm not sure if its true that the flood of chemicals cannot be matched - when in my flow state I have experienced feelings of euphoria more powerful than any I have tried (which is saying a lot
)
It is my opinon that as you said, the highest ideal is to have a conciousnes that is in a constant state of control and happiness through unlimited love, peace and joy. I believe that this sate is actually the main goal of alll religions - possibly because having any person in this state will automatically manifest more peace, love and joy.
