Two psychologists who authored the book Buddha Pill started with 4000 research articles and concluded in chapter 5 - " Despite the anecdotal evidence on the merits of mindfulness meditation. and despite the hundreds of studies produced in the last 20 years, there was no robust scientific evidence that mindfulness has any substantial effect on our minds and behaviours." Its sexy science ! The Oxford Mindfulness Centre themselves in their own extensive study could not show proof that mindfulness is the active ingredient in MBCT that worked.

Dissociation of brain function and brain damage causes mystical experiences ! We can romanticize these experiences but can we rely on them ? These unitive experiences had existed since the sacred sound/word "Om" established meditative contemplation 4000 yrs ago in cultures and countries that are now most divided !

Neuroscience has shown that the experiences of meditators narrow down to only a small combination of a number of neural phenomena. Much as the religious traditions that possess their respective meditative practices are varied in culture and "theology", their explanation of these experiences are consistent, not diverse. Science, religion and personal experience all converge in revealing that meditation is an awareness of unitive consciousness thru neural phenomena that are ultimately do not stand the test of reality. 

From the narrative of the meditators, the one common denominator of this consciousness seems to be that each individual possess at birth, a God-given " personal-immortal-divine-entity" which awaits discovery in meditation. When that phenomena of nirvana ( Hindu), awakening ( Buddhism ) , sartori ( Zen ) , god-consciousness ( TM, etc ), being in God's presence ( Christianity ) occur, the contemplative experiences his divinity as one with the dvinity of all humanity in the DIVINE ONE [ click M #07 ] . The power of this basis of unity is evident when Pope Francis gave prominence to the US Congress in his Sept 2015 address of a Catholic monk, Father Thomas Merton whose "contemplative style" would be an example for uniting all peoples and religions [ click Archive A # 03 ] . 

What is of greatest concern is that only when brain functions are dissociated and the mind is open to hypnotic suggestion, that the meditative common experience of "universal consciousness" which is variously expressed spiritually as "oneness with Divinity" occurs. Why is it that when the mind is not in meditation, when it is in any other state, that these experiences do not occur ? Mystical experiences occur only in trances, in hypnotism, with hallucinogens, with damaged frontal lobes and when frontal lobes go "offline" in meditation, these should alert us of the dangers in such practices.Click: S #01- 07

One of the most dramatic account of brain damage and mystical exoerience is Dr Jill Bolte Taylor's own observation of her own left brain going through a massive haemorrage resulting in a clot the size of a golfball. Here is her account..."and I'm realizing that my hands look like primitive claws grasping onto the bar. And I thought, "That's very peculiar." And I looked down at my body and I thought, "Whoa, I'm a weird-looking thing." And it was as though my consciousness had shifted away from my normal perception of reality, where I'm the person on the machine having the experience, to some esoteric space where I'm witnessing myself having this experience....And then I lost my balance, and I'm propped up against the wall. And I look down at my arm and I realize that I can no longer define the boundaries of my body. I can't define where I begin and where I end,because the atoms and the molecules of my arm blended with the atoms and molecules of the wall. And all I could detect was this energy -- energy...

The stated objective of eastern meditation is to detach from this world where good/evil, life/death, etc are regarded as illusions, withdrawing internally to something else which they term the "true-self" which by definition has to be pure spirit, body-less and thus devoid of physical, mental and ethical/spiritual boundaries. How does love, compassion, courage, joy, reality and our will exist in this state ? Or are their absence compensated by tranquility ( calmed amygdala & sleep waves ), universal oneness ( the phenomena ) , the hypnotic suggestion of being divine, energy, visualization and addiction ( endogenous dopamine ) ?   Click: S #01- 07

2 psychologist started to write a book on the transformational power of meditation, initially planning to title it " From Monster to Buddha". However, after much research, they had serious doubts about its benefits and decided to title it " Buddha Pill" because as it goes, pills would sometimes work and often do not. One of the psychologist meditates and had to "drastically reduce " the practice. Read about how meditation deadens the mind...." lack of attachment made me less sensitive and empathic to other people’s feelings. It was only when a friend joked I was becoming a ‘meditation junkie’ that the penny dropped. He was right; meditation was turning into a way of bypassing real life, or at least of avoiding the parts of it that were difficult or bitter. I had decided then to drastically reduce my practice."...... Buddha Pill, Bliss Techniques S #11 - 15
