For me, states of contemplation are.

How about you?

The reason I say contemplation-meditation is it is a state of being, like ferment in wine, which predisposes me to making discoveries. It engenders new ideas and I conceive of new artistic subjects.

Strange thing to say.

You don't consider contemplation and meditation to be part of study or intellectual expansion?

I definately think they are.

Enkidu, I accept your worldview. However, we have different metaphysical underpinnings. I have access to deeper layers of what I call soul in contemplation. The soul is the brain of a spiritual life. Without getting caught up in the mind-body problem, I do believe : All is One. So, your position is as true as mine.

We really should talk about your take on metaphysics sometime in another thread, Mo. I'm intrigued by it, but not really sure what you mean by it.

Enkidu, talking about silence is somewhat contradictory.

Try meditating, if you dont already. It may have an impact on you as a scientist (i.e. predispose you to new discoveries).
