Aw man.... Righty, I very rarely say this, but in this case, "you are wrong, my friend".

Buddhists are the "engineers" of the spiritual world. If you want to know about "how to", go to a Buddhist.

('Course all Buddhists are not alike, but the ones that are relatively "advanced", let's say, can be pretty mind-boggling).

Generally speaking, they're just about the farthest thing from Druids and Wiccans that there is.

I know I won't be able to convince you of that with a few simple words, and really it's not something you can "learn by reading" anyway - but when you practice and actually "do", you'll realize how deep Buddhism can be.

'Course, we could probably say the same thing about Christianity - just that 99.44% of the Christians out there have no idea what they're talking about, when it comes to spiritual matters. They love to regurgitate the Bible, but when it comes to facility and capability, most of 'em are sadly lacking. They're "drunk on cheap wine", as the Gospel of Thomas infers, and they have yet to taste the Chateauneuf du Pape.

It's all good. Some spirituality is definitely better than none.
