Sufism: Where Do We Draw The Line?
yes brother, meditation is very good to increase focus, manage stress, find deep peace with ur self but it can teach nothing about any reality beyond this physical realm. it is offcourse scientific. There r fMRI and EEG studies on buddhist monks in deep meditation. However, the results people claim from meditation are not scientific if u believe that meditation can open doors to the metaphysical world then u have to believe other claims too. for e.g. seth talk or R-one, these group claim to go in meditation and then a metaphysical being come and talk to them about past and future. Another group can meditate and find out about their past lives. Yes, unfortunately our sufis have manipulated religion a lot yes, it will be scientific one day but that day is not gonna come in our life times because we still do not have anyway to connect physical with metaphysical. I enjoyed our discussion, may Allah help you and I find what we r looking for
