Everything gets turned into a religion sooner or later, including Advaita or nonduality (the Ground of all other stages of Consciousness development). This occurs when people who honestly desire to be wise, but have neither the willingness nor devotion to complete the path to wisdom, start talking and acting as if they know TRUTH. Thats why its so important that if you havent had the direct experience, dont pontificate about it. If you have never eaten an apple, how the can you possibly describe its taste? And if I havent tasted it, how will you EVER be able to describe it to me? So dont tell me all about so-called enlightenment, just hand me an apple and show me how to eat it.
