Do I follow anyone who radically changed discipline during their academic career? I dont mean from like... inorganic chemistry to materials, or maths to theoretical physics, but like from physics to philosophy or something similar.

From neuroscience to religion. Also tried to make the leap to philosophy but with little success. Both attempts at transition have been extremely discouraging career-wise, but deeply fulfilling on a "spiritual" level.

Ahhh that's a bit of an unfortunate outcome. What has been the difficulty for your career?

Somehow I was able to gain admission to a PhD in neuroscience at 23, but haven't had any success in either philosophy or religion (now 29), possibly due to lack of network or other unknown factors. Just hovering in limbo with two master's degrees, subsisting off of food stamps...

Is not common to find neuroscientist who also have a non physicalist approach to studying the mind. I find it very interesting. All my respect to you

@NoaidiX Do you follow any tradition, teaching or method?, for example, Yoga, meditation, self-inquiry or something like that?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Meditation from a variety of Buddhist perspectives, primarily East Asian Mahāyāna (Chan/Zen+Huayan) while integrating other methods attributed to Theravāda+Dzogchen. Chanting (Pāli/Sanskrit/Chinese) + bowing (prostrations) are also personally efficacious + simple yoga and qigong.
