   Haha, wouldn't that be the greatest joke played on us by god! =D   
      
   Imagine all the trips, all the spirituality, and when it heaven god   
   replies "oh, I just put that to tease you, actually there wasn't anything   
   at all to seek, it was there all along".   
      
   And yes, I have thought along those lines myself from time to time. "What   
   if" the enlightened ones are actually the _least_ spiritual ones? ;)   
      
   But then again, there is always the path of telling me that I did it   
   "wrong" since it is supposed to be this earth shaking moment, opening you   
   up to the beauty and harmony of the universe.

   this gemini thing?
