I mean, for some people, it's useful to sit in a quiet space,
  with lots of candles and incense; there's a lot of baggage that
  you take with you every day.

  Sometimes it's good to have things to do to wash the world away,
  as it were.

  Religions have a lot of awesome methods for it, and I support it
  all. I love the 5x a day prayer schedule of Islam, the weekly
  Christian church thing, the communion thing, the Chinese
  Buddhist monks spinning the prayer wheels, the prayer ropes and
  rosary beads...

  I mean, I think anything that helps get one to that 'state of
  experience' is a good thing.

  I'm not better because I don't use the props now. I just
  internalized it.
