Bryn Mawr Classical Review: 2009.10.50

Rated Oct 27 • 2 reviews • religion, science, ancient history • bmcreview.org

"It is now abundantly clear that human consciousness is largely defined by the neurological functions which are characteristic of Homo sapiens as a biological species, irrespective of social conditions. Hence, the conclusions of modern neuroscience are applicable to the study of historical phenomena, including ancient Greek religion and philosophy. Neuropsychology provides a methodological basis for the study of the consciousness of religious practitioners and its transformation in different environments. Especially revealing is the study of altered states of consciousness which, in many cases, entails a sense of ineffable revelation of superhuman truth. Since such states of consciousness often occur when people are exposed to sensory deprivation, seers, shamans, and other mediators between gods and mortals undergo long isolated sojourns in caves and other closed spaces in their quest for ecstatic illuminations"

"A microchip-sized digital camera patented by the California Institute of Technology could provide vision for the US military's insect-sized aircraft. It is light enough to be carried by these tiny surveillance drones and also uses very little power."

Buddhism and physics

"Penilla concludes by stating, "Reality does not exist without the mind that is defining it. Without mind, reality exists only as infinite potential. Quantum physicists have now stumbled upon what mystics have been saying for over 2000 years--that reality is a projection of the mind."

Trouble arises on the basis of subjective associations layered into the terms 'mind' and 'reality' which may be mistaken for objective entities and require far more definition if one is to make an intelligible statement. Interesting territory, well covered in Zukav's Dancing Wu-li Masters.

"I felt like I was almost looking at a secret... that humans weren't supposed to see this. This is not anything you're supposed to see. It's too beautiful .. There are no words to describe how beautiful things are out there. So I like to describe what was going through my mind at the time... It was like looking into absolute paradise.""

"Practicing like this is not about being judgmental. It's not about whether someone is right or wrong. We're trying to take the anger a few stages back and work with it in the privacy of our own mind so that we're not as susceptible to the grip of high emotion. We start to see that the situation or person we would like to blame is not the reason for our anger. The reason is that we've rolled subject, object, and action into a reaction and a response, and solidified that thought into a feeling as big as a house."
