| Let us begin with a disclaimer: This lecture discusses techniques often frowned upon in our techno-materialist society. If some of what I say sounds dubious, please substitute our words with others that you might be more comfortable with. Magic, for example, can otherwise be referred to as “advanced technology”. Those who resonate with ceremony may be comfortable with spirits and spells, while those of you who align yourselves with more pragmatic lineages might prefer calling these things “clear mind” or “prayer” or “contemplation”. And - for the more hardline - rationalists or skeptics, you can consider this as an experiment in meta-belief. | Let us begin with a disclaimer: This lecture discusses techniques often frowned upon in our techno-materialist society.
