Hey Davino,
I'm new around here, (but not to conversations like these), and your post made me curious. Mostly what I don't get is why "the human survival game" and what you call "the most profound peaks of consciousness" are mutually exclusive.
I don't know what you do or how you'd define "profound peaks of consciousness," but I am reminded of the Zen koan which translates something like, "Before enlightenment, carrying water, chopping wood. After enlightenment, carrying water, chopping wood."
Does that resonate at all?
