In Buddhism they say the way to enlightenment is to follow the eightfold path. He uses the termonology of people who know what they mean.

Gratz. Hope it is what you need spiritually to help you in life. It is an interesting way of living. Simple and not simple all at the same time.

That's great! I wish you well and hope you become a bodhisattva. When I discovered that I was a pantheist, buddhist texts were among others like the Vedas that I turned to help me remember what I already I know!
