I wouldn’t really call ‘hobbled on a bathroom floor’, ‘naked and wet’, and ‘vomiting into a toilet’, “Zen”

science is good. organized is religion bad and authoritarian.
however: humans develop closer relationships via religion.

Look up Unitarian Universalism. It’s basically a secular religion based around progressive values rather than trying to appease God.

Fully disconnected from the other. Focused purely on survival.
What your name is, who you love, what time it is, where you need to be today, none of it matters. None of it enters your mind.
Raw unfiltered reality.
The only thought is, “PLEASE DON’T PUKE SO HARD I SHIT MYSELF!!!”
