found this link while reading a bit on memes and thought it might make for an interesting discussion.
Personally, I think it is total BS, but at the same time I do tend toward believing in a multi-verse and the "anything that can exist, does" way of thinking. My main reason for thinking this is bunk is that, well, first off its something that costs money on the internet and is supposed to to help you. Secondly I think that there are lots of things that really cant exist.
I know jack and shite about physics, but I figured I would post this here and see where it went.
First, let me introduce myself. My name is Alexandra and I'm
Burt's assistant and Customer Happiness Manager.

lol, I like the testimonies on the page. "I wanted to be a writer, so I jumped into another universe and found the version of myself that was a successful author and we discussed how to do it. This totally did away with the fact that I had spent my life being a slackass!" xD
call this quantom jumping, praying, meditating what ever its all the same thing.... the point is your not really going anywhere, you're just meditating, somepoeple float while they meditate and others can stay in 10 degree weather with out clothes, the point its mind over matter.
the kind that josh grimes is talking about is a different type having to do with lazzers.
well its not technially floating, but floating sensations that ten degrre weather thing is deffinately true though i cant seem to find the source....it was a google news article
Not to be a dick, but anyone who doesnt employ the necessary research to convince themselves of something (i.e. putting faith in other people's research) is gullible.
Me? I've read enough to form an opinion of meditation. I also know that these sorts of stories are often used to push religions, and have no actual proof aside from the stories themselves. If you mean that me simply reading about meditation is different from trying it, you are very right. I think the human brain can do some amazing things, but I also know that the laws of gravity prevent people from floating, and that several monks used to do this as a trick to convert people. Honestly I compare it to this
These things are set up to trick people, but everyone knows they are fake.
What I was stating about your post was more the approach you used, not the content. Sorry, I like learning about rhetoric, and the over all structure of your argument stood out to me. Had little to do with the monks themselves. Like I said, I really wasn't trying to come off like a dick, just something I noticed.
