This is the source of much confusion. For a traditionalist who understands the concepts of chakra, center, hara or dan tien, K .

When I was referring to "scientists", I was referring to scientists whose area of expertise would involve studying awareness. Scientists would have gotten that because they understand that they are not experts in areas outside their field even if they hold an opinion as a layman about the topic. Making an issue of that ...
