Nice post, Alan!

By all means I agree with this. Any thought would have some results (not necessarily desirable ones) in us. And pseudo-science; or scientific jargons without enough understanding of their deeper meaning; could not help us in a positive way. Not spiritually, and not intellectually.
Up to now, scientists has very little to say about the mechanics of yoga, meditations, etc, although we do know some of their effects. Using scientific jargons without any thoughtful real substance gives no explanation. The way it "influence matters"?----Pseudo-science gives layman a feeling of "being very deep and mysterious". At best it gives people some entertainment or some peotic (but meaningless or wrong) statements; at worst it can be often used by "false guru" to cover their poor quality of actual teaching, creating many traps for the public.
I am a strong advocate of examining yoga with science. Just not to confuse that with careless statements full of scientific jargons. For a more thorough discussion on a related topic in the forum, see: http://www.aypsite.org/forum/topic....TOPIC_ID=884

Hi Alvin;
Yes it's good. Lets continue to measure and test the effects of yoga and meditation on the organism. It is part of our adventure toward the infinite. I do believe though that ultimately the infinite will never be measurable except by our individual experience. Each one of us makes our final measure until the measure dissolves away and measure, measurer and measurable become one
immeshed, immersed, immesure
