Everyone keeps recommending Mindfulness in Plain English, including people I have a deep admiration from. But I went into it thinking it'd be a no-bs exploration of meditation and closed the book once the author mentioned how some meditators experienced "talking to their ancestors".
I'm sure that you can be objective and cut through that type of statement but meh, I couldn't do it. Maybe I'll try again at some point but that one really put me off.
- arc_of_descent 10y agoI somehow agree with you, but I especially found the book great since it has little or no mention of Religion or gods. Although spiritual experiences can occur if you think of them as hallucinations due to the state intense meditation can get one into.
