sathorSome random talk on the audio forums today got me thinking...
Why is it we never see any skeptics that have practiced meditation or yoga?
After I practiced meditation extensively, the way I looked at reality completely changed. I think it's silly that skeptics tend to discount things because there's no hard physical evidence but they are unwilling, like real scientists, to search out these inner feelings and perceptions that other people claim are a result of practice. Real scientists seek out verifiable results - is it so hard to believe that with spirituality, the results are -within- you and not outside of you?
And no, psychology won't make you enlightened.
