[cont'd from part 1]
4) If meditation is to quiet the mind--to avoid provoking extra neurotransmitter activities and to eventually alter the brain "metabolism"--it is definitely not good to read, to write, and to become a writer, lawyer, educator, engineer... etc? It's nearly impossible to go through everyday's busy life while having to keep the brain immobile.
5) When a child is born, part of the growth and living a rich experience is to stimulate sensitivities; meditation seems to do the opposite. In vipassana, you do things very very slowly, it even got robotic. It doesn't make sense. So, once again, an arhat would be like a blank slate, and he's bad at argumentation because no words come to mind!!!!!!
6) SUPPOSE there's more than what meets the eye: suppose we have spirits! How would this change in brain structure *transfer* and imprint onto the spirit, for it to carry and manifest in its next life?
