But that isn't what I said, now is it.

Why not call it a magic trick. I mean, technically it underlays science. So it's transcendent to our scientific way of making sense of stuff. Which is a pretty good definition for magic.

Did I say that it is mind-blowing?

That 3 problems in a row for you. 2 of them misrepresentation of the words.

Maybe the problem is on your end. Try thinking about it a bit and then get back to me.

You could say that people with this personality trait are inclined to become artists, scientists and engineers.

And you could call this personality trait a magic trick.

I'm describing a way of using attention. To put it entirely in one place and to completely remove it from everything else.

And then the place where you put your attention blossoms and everything else rots.

It's more of an ensemble of virtue-signals denoting membership in a certain tribe. Same people tho.

It goes like this : Focus intensely upon your work. Make it awesome. And let everything else go to hell.

This is a post-joke society

It's more of a shallow, faux-woke pandering

Actually yes, they changed. Dr Who literally changed sex and race.

I mean samatha/vipassana or whatever.

I encounter things relevant to atheism sometimes when I meditate.

 

I know meditation isn't necessarily a christian thing. Maybe prayer.

I figure, buddist or christian, we're all studying the same reality. Whatever we call it or however we describe it. And in our process of investigation we will all do that same self-cultivating and deeper seeing.

I do shikantaza (zen meditation).
