    we have no idea they all had the same delusion.

    You have no idea that they did, and you have no idea they didn’t.

    That’s why I said before that if you can see how religions rhyme, you can find a core message in all of them. And that, I think, is the truth.

      Given we haven’t even defined Enlightenment between ourselves it’s unlikely everyone else who claims to have achieved it will agree have the same definition/experience.

      You are correct I have no idea, but my prior expectation is that these experiences are independently located within each person’s brain, without any external connection.
