I guess I'm more talking about the effects. If your effects are not just, "I don't have conceptual thought anymore", then I have no idea what kind of meditation you're doing.
yeah I get the sense I have a favorite entreatment from a scientist I know: go to the library and read the scholarship the psychology tools probably haven't evolved but I wonder if the depth to which they analyzed components of meditative systems has, i see 'no' right now

I'm a massive fan of Paanskepp who I'm basing an exhaustive search of emotion landscape around, the books im reading right now are right in that period

Oh hell yeah. I am also a giant Panksepp appreciator. He's freaking great, and I don't think he got a fair rap from one of his scientific rivals who was better at podcasts than him.

Have you read any Reggie Ray? Maybe we've talked about this? Imperfect as he is, he is a very good communicator about affective experience and how some meditative approaches distance us from it, while others can deepen our contact with it.

Heard of, not read. Thanks for the tip! Sounds super relevant.
