Worry not, for secular meditation does not get that far. Otherwise we'd have seen a psychosis pandemic vis-à-vis Calm.com's 40 million app installs.

- ramchip 5y agoIt's a meditation app
- pasquinelli 5y agoyeah, i got that, but installing an app isn't meditating, even if it's a meditation app. a measurment of app installs doesn't give you information on people's meditation practice.
- tokenpreneur 5y agoYou do not need information on their meditation practice to support the idea that secular meditation is on the rise and proof of that rise is at the very least evident in a secular meditation app getting such a large amount of installs.
- Finnucane 5y agoThe Buddha sought an escape from the state of dukkha, and our western political and economic systems depend on maximizing the state of dukkha. How do you make ‘self-help’ from a philosophy that teaches that there is no permanent self to help?
- loopz 5y agoEscape and seclusion is circumstantial, so bound to change into bridge-building on middle ground.
- mbg721 5y agoThat's aspirational meditation, it's like seeing how much people exercise by counting gym memberships.
