After many years of meditation, thoughts abruptly stopped, replaced by stillness and peace, a state that has continued for 12 years for 95% of the day. How does this happen? What is like? Where is the "I" located if we use the latest scientific tools, like fMRI? Current cognitive neuroscience studies on awakening.
Presentation at Science and Non-Duality Conference in San Rafael, CA in October 2010. Other videos from this talk are @ "Practices for Reaching a Thought-Free State" and "What is an "I"? How Does It Get Built and Who Solves Problems?"
