What religion mystical background makes the most sense?

Post Reply New Topic

I am curious to know if people with autism have a predisposition to having a certain religious, spiritual context and mystical context make more sense to them than others. I am not asking what religion or spiritual background are you specifically, as I don't consider myself to be apart of any specific religion or spiritual belief system. But I have recognized that some of them seem to immediately and much more intuitively, make alot more sense to me than others.

Me personally, I took some time to read and play with alot of different things. Hinduism, Buddhism, Raja Yoga, Kriya Yoga, Shamanism, Animism, Occult Magick, Christianity, Judaism. It really became apparent to me that my brain aligns much more readily with things like Raja Yoga, shamanism and theories of 'Magick' more so than anything else.

many here are atheist as it pertains to the imaginings of their fellow humans
some persist in less rigorous paradigms

So what is the magical fountain of youth?

Precognition and the need for personal balance through spirituality. It doesn't mean belonging to a church. It's that basic spirituality that helps people find peace and gets them through life.

They're all equally nonsensical

When I think of mystical experience, it makes me think of deep visionary experience. The most direct access to that I've ever heard of are certain Amazonian tribes that consume Ayahuasca which may be one of the most potent psychedelics you can find anywhere.

This makes sense to me because it is so direct.

On a more spiritual sense, I find Taoism appealing. I like it's lack of rigid doctine or commandments. It seems more about contemplation or perspective. it is very much "go with the flow".

I also like the Buddhist attention to mindfulness or understanding emotional states. Not sure about the rest or the various denominations.

A little beyond that, I keep leaning towards Pantheism. I relate a lot to these Einstein quotes:

I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.

I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.

I like to think some people do not need drugs for mystical experiences but are just born with the capacity.

Vary the question slightly. Which religious doctrine is the least nonsensical?
