Ken Wilber, Integral Philosopher and founder of Integral Institute has been meditating since his youth.
In this Video he enters various meditative states, one of which is a type of "thoughtless," "image-less," or "formless" state, whose correlate is that his brainwaves come to an almost complete stop, as clearly recorded on this portable electroencephalograph (EEG) machine.
We asked Ken to do a short 10-minute commentary on these various meditative states and the corresponding brain-wave patterns that are shown on the EEG machine in the video. Ken enters four meditative states (nirvikalpa closed eyes, nirvikalpa open eyes, sahaj, and mantra-savikalpa), each of which has a very distinctive brain-wave pattern. In his commentary, Ken emphasizes that the patterns shown on this machine may or may not be typical, but they do emphasize that profound consciousness states can be evoked at will, and these show immediate correlation in brain-wave patterns. (This video is discussed in One Taste, April 10 entry.)
Well im not the one to judge this amazing video. im only hoping to be able to produce the same effects soon :) by using various techniques of meditation i learn at agama yoga school.
