@xmorganconklinx I am not defending the teachers in this video. I don't know them but if you, xmorgan, have never tried meditation then I suggest you do. It's not about trancing out but about becoming very aware. Egoic thinking has helped us to get to where we are now as a species but at this point it will take us no further. In fact we are de-evolving. We need to, as many true teachers are espousing, transcend our ego and realize compassion for one another.
Another thought came through.Conflict itself sometimes causes "madness"so if one's "conflict" is completely gone, though meditational analysis,& many previous years of meditation,the mind is "empty" of those so-called"dependent arisings"which cause the so-called "madness" in the first place.In other words,madness won't occurr with a genuinely clear mind."genuine" meaning the "buddhanature"mind......
This looks like the "real" retreats. Long ago,I went on "retreat" for a couple of hrs.with a very different group of people/religion.But they were all together,hundreds of them under a tent together listening to a lecture all together.f hrs.at home alone can cause a lot of "genuine"self to appear,& a lot of other "conflicts" out too.If one weren't strong,3 yrs.could cause madness.When they bring food,do they check for that person in retreat?
are you brother of nancy and collin from sandiego?
