Really though, mindfulness the concept is a useful thing IMHO, as opposed to mindfulness the industry. Meditation has scientifically confirmed benefits.
- pmoriarty 6y ago"Meditation has scientifically confirmed benefits." This study makes me wonder if those benefits really come from meditation itself or from being more narcissistic or feeling spiritually superior to others.
- tartoran 6y agoNarcissists are all around us and if they get attracted to one thing or another, it doesn’t make those things narcissist specific. If one is seeking to meditate quietly or have some bigger than themselves spirituality it’s likely they have no connection to narcissism whatsoever. Howevet if they actively promote themselves as best meditators, gurus, most spiritual etc they might as well be narcissist. Narcissists seek to lift their ego by means of the world around them without which they collapse. Oh, and narcissists are quite easy to spot. Humble people cannot be narcissists though some narcissists fake ehumility, but they do it poorly and again it is quite easy to spot
- loopz 6y agoThis may depend on personality and group dynamics. If leader is so-and-so, expect the followers to mimick those traits. Everything else being neutral however, people adhere to their personalities. They're often rather stuck with that, contrary to advertisements. Externally-induced transformations are bogus claims, as life itself is transformation. One may be guided along a known path though, however, every traveller is distinct and unique.
- dwaltrip 6y agoThere is a lot of research. Check out the book “Altered Traits”.
