It's like if you're at college and you go to a study group and you haven't been coming up as much as you should be and see how everyone knows their stuff so well and you're like "dang, I want to be that smart" so you go home and study and try your best to get it right. Naw mean?
No What does any of this have to do with being spiritually high? As in euphoric effects?
