Possibly. TB's are great at posting such BS, I'd be very careful. A
common pattern really among many fundamentalists: dazzle with the BS.
Unlike people who claim to beable to self-induce complete brain-
death temporarily?
LOL, not that's not a claim. Keep in mind true brain death would also
include no cerebral perfusion.
Will have to wait to see the results as they become available. As of
now there are few clear light meditators in the west to even do much
research on this topic (as compared to basic meditation, where there
are many subjects). And as you know, most funded research is
interested in aimed groups of reproducible practitioners. It will be
interesting to see what the future brings, but I'm not holding onto
great hope for real large scale studies on this calibre of meditators
who are really the 'olympic athletes of meditation'. They're few in
number. However, just as a casual comment, I'd expect we'd see
something similar to Ken Wilber's neurofeedback experiment, the
nirvakalpa samadhi example: flat on alpha, flat on beta and flat on
theta, but maxxed out on delta. (With mantra, ishta or yidam practice
I'd expect witnessing artifact to be present.)
