[Buddha-l] thank you for the brain citation

[Gary Gach]

score two for buddha-l; first attribution for the wuthnow cadge and now this

thank you, katherine.  yes, it is an obg, oldie but goodie.
which is why i'm using it, joanna ... ditto for the olde
righte braine/lefte braine divide (similar to easte / weste?)
along with :

   - mirror neurons
   - neuroplasticity
   - dan j. siegel's studies

within a chapter also discussing

   - quantum physics
   - fuzzy logic
   - emergent behavior in complex sysems
   - remote viewing
   - prayer

plus some bonus points i can't yet reveal
... all within context of Buddha Way,
(and with exactly one week from start to finish,
hence, steve, my inability to take better advantage of your
suggestion: yes i'm aware of the high gamma tests but still
not able to coherently 'explain' their contextual relevance
other than perhaps (1) a higher 'set-point of meditators
(which i've done in discussion neuroplasticity);
(2) the positive effects of compassion meditation, 'tho
apparently various techniques of meditation produce high gamma
(from richard davidson's report, i think it was, i thought the tibetans
were the first to exhibit such high marks, but like i say, i'm strapped for
time
and proportionate perspective on this whole puppy)

oh and as to news item from our noble moderator,
(unattributed, but it must be true 'cos it's on buddha-l)
i'm not shocked about the zennies but rather about the
person willing to (in the fashion of stanley milgram)
knowingly torture other fellow life forms, no matter how
bald their pointy pate ... simply shocked, i tell you ... shocked ...
