Happiness + Hallucinations = Spirituality

Many highly spiritual people report experiences that are akin to mild versions of psychiatric illnesses. That's not terribly surprising because, as researchers have learned, hallucinations and such like are actually a rather common part of the human experience.

Probably 70% of people experience some form of 'unusual experiences' at some time in their lives.

Now, you might think that hallucinations would be distressing, but people often report them to be quite pleasant. What's more, spiritual people often report being happier than average.
