Initial Meditative Experiences
Abstract
A more detailed account of meditative experiences is available elsewhere, and for those readers who wish to see a detailed case study of meditation employed for a specific clinical disorder an excellent account is available in Shapiro. The extent of reaction to the stimulus itself as opposed to the label seems to be a direct function of the degree of mindfulness or meditative awareness. In the West surrender has connotations of succumbing or being overwhelmed but it is employed more in line with its use in the meditative traditions. Layer upon layer of imagery and quasilogic open up at any point to which attention is directed. The clarity, power, persuasiveness, and continuity of the hallucinations is difficult to express adequately. Synesthesia, or cross-modality perception, is the phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory modality is perceived in several, as for example, when sound is seen and felt as well as heard.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
