Hare Krishna

[Angrboda]

The modern scientific method is great for a certain field of knowledge. But it's a completely different philosophical assumption to assume that the modern scientific method applies to everything knowable.

There is an old method for spiritual knowledge. Of course the methods for achieving such knowledge are somewhat different than achieving knowledge in modern material science. Attaining spiritual knowledge requires the elevation of one's consciousness. There is a deep science to this, and, just like any dope off the street can't easily realize the truth of quantum physics, it's a category of knowledge that requires serious discipline and is not available to anyone and everyone.

How would I achieve elevation of consciousness. Will standing on a chair help, or do I need to get up on the kitchen table?


(For what it's worth, I've achieved samadhi several times, and I'm still far from convinced that it's not all just Makyo. Do you believe that you can convince me otherwise?)
