That sounds cool. I've only achieved a meditative state once that I can honestly say felt like a lucid dream. I was aware of my environment but felt restful and had what seemed like an out of body experience. I felt weightless. No, there were no drugs involved, lol.

one could argue the sacrament of marriage is a covenant established in the book of Genesis by God between Adam and Eve which was the stencil (if u will) for our current marriage system we have today. this could be a reason why marriage commitment and religion are intertwined.

there are those who believe that because of this, "Marriage" as defined by the Bible and what Christians consider legitimate history, it is not considered marriage by definition unless it meets the standards set forth originally established in the book of Genesis.. part of which are one man, one woman.. another part being monogamy.. and yet another part being the sacrament presided over by a man of God in the presence of God.

not saying anyone should believe this way, just giving a perspective.

Exercising in any fashion is about self improvement. If all you care about improving is your physique than you will be one big lonely bastard. For me, I try to improve my life and all the lives around me if I can. I feel selfish though because it makes me feel good by helping others too. Being a selfish guy isn't all bad.

Not getting all religious about it though, not me. Good people can be good without all the religion also. Just like bad people can be bad no matter how much religion they have in their life.
