I am suggesting, since the consistent experience of people who have begun witnessing frequently has been that, once it "started" they realized it had never *not* been present, that witnessing has no more physiological coorelation to enlight- enment than having toenails does. The witnessing was present before it was noticed. It is there after it has been noticed. What is to test for? I am unconvinced that anyone will *ever* find physiological coorelates to enlightenment.
