Apparently this guy now believes that all his old friends are somehow beneth him and are mindless idiots not worth his time.
Spirituality more often than not involves people triing to be something that they are not in the belief that if they act like the people they want to be they will somehow be better!
Wearing a loincloth and painting a dot on yer head doesn't make you Ghandi.
Burning tobacco and sage doesn't make you native!
Bottom line Try to be a good person to those around you and you will be rewarded! Act like a pious asshole and you are worth nothing!
I used to feel sorry for this guy cause he was always triing to be someone else,Something that he wasn't. But he let me down and seems to be more selfish than I gave him credit for and if thats his idea of being a better more chalenged person, so be it.
At this time in my life I need friends that I can count on, not people that will let you down.
