About malabar

Non-fluffy empiricist healer type, recovering from hard neuroscience addiction. American living in UK, formerly spent time in Santa Cruz, Silicon Valley, Oregon, L.A. I think there are phenomena in the universe that cannot (yet?) be adequately explained. It may be that we just haven’t developed the instrumentation yet – nobody believed in X-rays at one time! – or they may be beyond our understanding at our current level of evolution. This does not make them less real, and we disregard them at our peril. I think that over the centuries, different cultures have conceptualized such things in their own particular ways, but what they are all describing is essentially the same, so it seems silly to get hung up on the small differences. Learning to work with these things is essential if we are going to survive as a species, so we’d better grow out of the petty bickering and get on with it.
