Well, LH, one can go through life assuming everything is a spiritual mystery, or one can have fun exploring possibilities. Nor do all spiritual events need to be based on fantasy, and symbols are invariably rooted in real events and occurances -- otherwise we wouldn't comprehend them as symbols.

One need not be assumed "blissfully ignorant" because one considers and mentally plays with alternate views. Just as one need not be assumed arrogant and self-righteous for the presumption they are enlightened and everyone who doesn't agree with their perception is not.
