If i would follow your logic i would hear you say that the rosary and
the mass is what Christ was teaching when in fact Christ never teach
that and he was even against such rituals.
You haven't got a clue what meditation is all about.
You never practice tantric meditation and you wouldn't know that
with the inhaling and exhaling there got to be a sound or mantra.
Every vibration in the universe has a sound so when you breath you
also produce a sound whether you are aware or not.
In the tantric meditation this awareness get deeper and deeper
as your meditation get stronger.
You have two choices James.
Or you get real and experience this practice so you can judge
with your own experience or you keep on masturbating your brain
into believing what religions and wiki say.
You are just a fanatic, you can define meditation all you want but plenty of other people disagree with you, and you offer no evidence beyond your own idiotic "insight". You are right that we don't know what Buddha said, not that I care much, but the earliest Buddhist writings are the closest we will ever get. Therefore they are the best source for what the buddha actually believed. Your claims to know that he practices your type of meditation are just the fanatical ravings of a religious fundamentalist.

the human beings CAN NOT deal with saturated fats, cholesterol
and toxin while omnivore animals can.
Firstly our bodies are quite good at dealing with cholesterol and saturated fats, it is only in old age when people really start to see the bad effects of meat eating. This is after our reproductive years, which means there is little evolutionary selection pressure to drive improvements in our metabolism. Secondly, take for instance cholesterol since you brought it up. We have HDL in our bodies to scavenge up cholesterol in our blood from our diet into our liver, where it can be used to make bile or further transported around the body. We have HDL precisely to deal with dietary cholesterol. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_lipoprotein
Quote:You got stuck in the usual dogma once again.
We usually say.........THE GREEKS as if all the GREEKS behave in the same way when in reality only less of 1% of Greeks had this knowledge.
There is no need to use intuitional knowledge to know this.
The history tell us.
I am not asking if they all believed the earth was round, I am asking you how you know their nervous systems were different.
Quote:You don't need intuition to understand how the humans evolved.
For a million years nothing much happened.
It is only in the last 15000 years that the things started moving
and it is in the last few hundred years that they started moving even faster.
As i said yesterday this is due to the avalanche effect.
That is due to science and technology, the very things you reject when you make appeals to you "insight", not genetics or evolution! Show me the genes that were altered during this evolution of our nervous systems? You cant because you have no idea what you are talking about.
