  • @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.

  • @Usernamenottaken2k

    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?

  • The most intelligent and inspiring person of 2011!

  • jkz=genious!

  • frogs agree

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