It's an interesting point, but it no longer makes any sense when you take the activity of the thalamus into account. There's no inner activity during samadhi because there's no cortical- thalamic feedback loop, or such is the implication of Fred's findings. Thinking of any kind, according to most modern theories, involves such feedback loops. Stop the looping and you stop thought. If the brain loses alertness, this is called sleep. If the brain remains alert, this is called pure consciousness. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
