Are you simply incapable of reading and understanding? There is NO valid description of samadhi. Not even the gods themselves can describe it. Period. THAT is the 5000+ history of Indian religious history. People who say otherwise are nuts, pure and simple. We can even explain why this is so, on a physiological level: when the activity of the thalamus is reduced, the ability of the brain to describe inner states is reduced as well, since perception, even "subtle" perception, is based on the recycling of sensory input through the thalamus. When there is no perception, yet the brain remains alert, this is smadhi. ------------------------ Yahoo!
