@blueguitar17 He also said that meditation can be profoundly healing by working on the entire organism from the cromosomes to the brain actually making it thicker. Now I would love nothing more than for this to be true. BUT I still subscribe to good science. It's a reason for double blind studies and randomized trials. Can he actually site the research that concluded that meditation actually has all these proven effects? A LOT of bad science going around these days.
-
No, he actually said 'certain' kinds of effects which is a completely different statement than the one you cited. His hopes are that the effects of meditation will be looked at in an objective way with out bias.
-
Excuse me but did he really say "If science would not be biased by a desire for metitation to show any kind of effect". Isn't that how science works? You need evidence?

Seems so sensible. Learn to know what human beings are like by tuning into yourself
