There are many methods of meditation and “spiritual” inquiry that can greatly enhance our well being without requiring that we believe anything on insufficient evidence.
For beginners, I always recommend a technique called vipassana (Pali, “insight”), which comes from the oldest tradition of Buddhism, the Theravada.

The advantage of vipassana is that it can be taught in an entirely secular way. Experts in this practice generally acquire their training in a Buddhist context, of course—and most retreat centers in the U.S. and Europe still teach its associated Buddhist philosophy. Nevertheless, this method of introspection can be brought within any secular or scientific context without embarrassment. The same cannot be said for most other forms of “spiritual” instruction.

Dear Mr. Harris


The only "sight" we need here is the Sight of the Lord.


Genesis 19:19


“Beholde now, thy seruant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed vnto me, in sauing my life, and I cannot escape to the mountaine, lest some euill take me, and I die.”


All we have to do is find grace in the Sight of the Lord, our God, and He will bestow onto us His Mercy and Save us fro evil.


We don't need your Hindaloo "insight". What is that anyway? We don't need "insight" to know what awaits us if we do not find grace in the sight of the Lord.


Thanks for sharing your Vedic claptrap but it's not for me.

P.S. Vipisanna sounds like a disgusting bodily function and will be banned from my household.
