wine Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 When do you think Monkeys started meditating and what are your opinions regarding what caused them to do so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Can you first show clear evidence that monkeys DO meditate? Also, are there any particular species to which you're referring? Different groups of monkeys developed and evolved along different time lines, so that would be a factor in the discussion as well. However, per your question: When do you think Monkeys started meditating and what are your opinions regarding what caused them to do so? ...it would seem that giving evidence they meditate at all would be a proper first step. Ohhhhmmmm.... :thumbs_up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wine Posted January 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 US!When did WE start meditating?Did the fungi teach us?Was it some ancient information passed around the galaxy like a bottle of Jack?I was wondering if there was any evidence from observing bone structures, we could see when our species started getting tangled, and down to earth. I wonder what kind of aliens right now in the universe are . . . meditating.So scientists don't really know or care when we started to meditate? I was just curious, thought I'd ask the Hypopartitionoftheworldinternet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InfiniteNow Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Okay, that works. Can you then define what you mean by "meditate?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfiniteNow Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 You're difficult.And no I can not. It's not my intent to be difficult, so I'm sorry if that's how I'm presenting myself. However, these are some pretty basic steps to get you an answer to your original question. Just because the questions are hard does not mean the answer will be. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronthepon Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Wiki says meditation is concentrated attention. For our purpose, we could call meditation the process of 'controlling' the 'wandering' mind. Might want to read the wiki article, it's gives few hints towards the subject. (Plus, I've been to that shiva temple many times:D ) Chacmool 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wine Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 No offense, but I definitely do not need an explaination of meditation. I was only curious about it's origin, if there had been any scientific studies, but alas,I formulated my own theory and it's in my mind where it belongs. Thanks for your help.
