Still need brains to scan? … I’ve been meditating for a while and i think I’ve reached that kind of level. I’ve certainly gotten somewhere.

Meditating on “oneness” is nothing I ever heard about.

And “non-duality” is something completely different.

You need to get your facts straight, not just assuming you know what is being meant here — because you don’t.

The title is right out of a buddhist joke.

How does a buddhist order a hotdog?

“Make me one with everything.”

Which is funny.

But it is also not actually how a person meditates.

It's nice that sience is starting to grasp meditation. But it tends to lead people away from actually doing the work. and that is very contrasting to mind usage. isn't it? I guess you can only learn from life experience not scientifical proof Letting Go

Sorry to state Carina’s story appears to be very weakly researched and written badly.

After all, the work with Tibetan Monks withe guidance of the Dalai Lama has been going on for over a decade at Wisconsin on Buddhist Meditation. Dr. Newberg’s work at Pitts as well as that of Beauregard at Montreal on different types of meditators are also very well known. What is the newness of the NY group.

Secondly, it is a very strange definition given to Oneness of Advaita as the unification of internal and external brain circuits. Oneness in Advaita is absence of an individuating sense of ’self’, a zero-thought condition.

What constitutes a Default network too is not uniformly accepted amongst neuroscientists. There are many research papers on this subject.

Trust the Editors would come up with a more thorough paper on this interesting topic of Non-Dualism and neuronal networks.

“oneness” isn’t just for monks!
You guys should have a look at holosync by centerpointe.com – Bill Harris has come up with a perfect meditation programme which forces the brain in to meditation.
I’ve been using this for 6 months and although I am only 1/12th through the entite thing, I have already experienced oneness severl times, the most recent was while I was meditating (naturally, without the CDs) during reiki training.
It is something I have integrted into my life and wow does it ever make a difference.
If you want to know more, drop me a mail, I’d be hapy to answer any questions.

Love & light
