Fantastic!. I wonder if the 20 people who disliked this have the courage and knowledge to speak like the guy who delivered the presentation.

@zazenfrax Because I myself prefer evidence and proof that something works. People can tell you all sorts of crazy things- testing these assertions (which is what science is, essentially) allows you a tool to help accept or reject these assertions. However, if you don't believe science is necessary, I do have this amazing invisible elephant I'll sell you.

Very enlightening. Will use with my healing work with recovering addicts.

@zazenfrax
I agree. Here science fails. It needs 100% objective proof and puts no trust in subjective experience... But science is needed now to spread the word and to possibly develop a technology based on neuroscience to make it easier for human beings to reach enlightenment. Shinzen Young talks about it.

@zazenfrax One view is that not everyone can accept an idea with a fundamentalist acceptance. Questioning all view is essential to understanding beyond dogmatic reiteration.
It reminds me of something I once heard Dzongsar [Norbu] Khyentse Rinpoche say: Always be very skeptical of the rinpoche, because the rinpoche is always very skeptical about you!
Meanwhile, also cool that Buddhism has recently looked at quantum physics...and agrees!

This work is careful to avoid anything that has any connection to meaning, whether spiritual or emotional. All effort is in directing the attention away from the activity of the amygdala as if the amygdala is about as useful as an appendix - esp. in it's ability to detect something real. Inasmuch as you do not find a way to reintegrate this use of the amygdala back in, this will not be a permanent solution. Meaning happens. Deal with it.

@zazenfrax I actually have a different perspective for you, zazenfrax. It is important for us to look at ancient truths thru a sci lens because for so long the scientific agenda has been to destroy anything real that is even remotely connected to spirituality and it's way past time to stop doing that. This demonstrates that that trend is reversing. |
