Waking Up
A Guide to Spirituality Without Religion
Sam Harris, Hillsdale 204 H3161w 2014 , Simon and Schuster
- meditators should have a "healthy sense of self", no schitzophrenia
Advaita Vedanta non-dualist, no "higher" external being

mother LA writer/producer Susan Harris
vipassana Mindfulness (sati), clear awareness, "free mind from suffering"
- Mindfulness and loving-kindness meditation (metta)
- consciousness without the self, avoiding suffering
- visual "blind spot"
- decreases representation in the DMN Default Mode Network, self representation
- LSD alters consciousness, but uncontrollable extremes
