Do Hopeless People Glorify Enlightment As A Way To Cope With Being Hopless?

[ArchimageDGTAL]

To start it off with some personal experience. So back in hs I used to do this stuff, me and this one girl took a strong interest in psychic, and all the phenomenon that goes on with lucid dreaming, OBE and other practices such as meditation even activating pineal gland. This culture is almost bumistic so to speak, guys with long facial hair(hipster pre set) and geometry and flower tattoos, people walking around barefoot & caucasians with dreads etc. I do not see many wealthy people promoting these practices nor science except those who profit from saying riddles. What if this culture claims to be enlighten when really it is being used a defensive claim against people who do follow the crowd to survive which the enlighten crowd is not apart of? More on this, what if this culture was created to bring to the American people because American People have no official FUN and Open spiritual culture which is where Buddhism falls on us and is so widely popular and accepted. The attitudes of these people are " universe IS my home". Although one thing we all have in common is we strive for better knowledge to help ourselves.! I feel this culture merging towards making some believe it's okay for them settle for less or what they already have. Another way to put it is, are we really suppose to be satisfied with what we have just because everything is in our minds? Aren't we supposed to be experiencing too, not just "thinking" about the experience? I feel as though in a sense this stuff can be very time consuming & filled with many riddles which are sometimes good for solutions. Maybe I have reached nirvana through writing this message. I am not saying this stuff isn't real I am just saying what if you're trying to be what you already are? Maybe us humans ARE the universe just expressing ourselves as we are. There will always be chaos. There will always be peace. We just need to share the "intent" of sharing and understanding amongst ourselves, that should be the prize. Not trying the practices "SITTING AND LAYING". Btw to access the parts of you that you cannot normally access, ummm you need psychedelics, like the stuff in mushrooms. Those Buddhist were doing psychedelics guys, but they left that part out!
