I am forced to both disagree and to take offense at the unsubstantiated suggestion that it is possible to allow others to be wrong on the internet. Madness! Besides, 'anonymous' forgot to define what they meant by 'internet'.

As a follower of non-dual Hinduism I believe it to be the insight of those saints/sages/mystics/clairvoyants/whatever that have plumbed the deepest into the nature of consciousness. One rishi I respect says do not take my word for it but investigate yourself and find the truth.How do you know that?
You will not be losing anything. You are to see things as they really are. When one understands all sides, Intelligence will pick the Best choices. Enlighten yourself about all things not just religion. There is much to Discover in every field of learning.If it means "losing my ego", then I don't want it. Why would I want to do that? It seems to be a bizarre desire. Who doesn't want to be themself, and why?
Only ascended masters can nod knowingly at the ignorant on the internet. The rest of us cheat and use the ignore list and act as if we have arrived.I am forced to both disagree and to take offense at the unsubstantiated suggestion that it is possible to allow others to be wrong on the internet.

This is confusing to me. When you say you are attracted to things like yoga and meditation, do you mean as concepts, or in the sense that you practice them? If you practice them, then what are you hoping to gain from them?The weird thing is that I am EXTREMELY attracted to religion, spirituality, yoga, meditation, esoteric knowledge, the list goes on. There must be a reason. And I avoid all spiritual experiences, I don't know why the attraction.
...and act as if we have arrived.

Yoga and meditation practice. It just feels good. Makes me extremely calm. But I quit when I started having spiritual experiences.This is confusing to me.
