Where's the research?



None was necessary, although there's research out there for those who  

need that crutch.



Feeling a bit superior this morning? (Therapy may help dismissiveness

actions based on superiority complexes. There IS research on that.)


Not at all, I just find the robotic repetition of "research" as a thought-stopper silly and more an artifact of marketing, conditioning (in this particular case) and obsession. Interesting you didn't see the superior tone in Spairag's orignal question. As if somehow research was important to meditators. 

Prejudiced? There's LOT'S of research on that.



The direct experience is the important thing.



Assuming all the neuural pathways that Spariag touches on in prior

posts, and the 100 billion synapes in the brain, are all functioning

'well", and that the 'experiencer" has had rigorous training to

overcome the many potential cognitive and logical errors,

pyschoanalytical complexes (can yuo say "Oedipal"?) that the human

mind is prone to make (particularly in interpreting "spiritual

experiences". As Dana will tell you extensively and in detail -- with

research (not his, but cites).


Not of course what I meant.


Meanwhile, I just experienced that I am Lord of the Universe, so I am

going with that. :)


Say no more.
