God didn't want us to know about good or evil, he doesn't want us to study the angels or the hierarchy of heaven, he doesn't even want us to think for ourselves. God wants us to follow his dictates blindly, without question or thought.

Why would God give us free will and a powerful mind to deny us the ability to use the extent of it?
Why does God want us to be ignorant?
How can anyone respect a God who wants his followers to be ignorant?

I've learned about the kosher diet in detail and it seems strict. In fact it sounds easier to be a vegetarian or vegan than follow the kosher diet. So I was wondering if anyone in the Jewish community here could honestly say that they don't follow all their kosher rules, or have even tried pork?

the most non-ordinary state of consciousness you ever experienced? Ordinary, meaning your day to day being that doesn't change much. I want to know about an experience that you had where you felt like someone, or something, completely different from the way that you are used to feeling. Did this experience change you?
