I cannot know that, and neither can anyone else. The reasons being that meditation does not have a good scientific definition and is not falsifiable. We shouldn't consider it as science until both of those reasons change.
- smallnamespace 10y agoI don't understand why rigorous science is required to answer a simple question like 'Are you meditating?', as long as someone has provided you with a common-sense definition. Science hasn't unraveled all the mysteries of consciousness, or ethics, or economics either, but that doesn't force us to remain silent on those topics. You might think that meditation is a bunch of hocus-pocus and isn't real, but science hasn't decided either way.
