OSHO said in the following video that he was a Rich Man’s Guru:
who looked after the rich. But Osho is dead now. And who cares in the year 2024 for the souls of the rich? Twenty years ago, Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk with a PhD. in Cellular Genetic gave talks about new scientific findings about meditation which might be revolutionary:
He talked for instance about this paper published in PNAS in 2004:
Long-term meditators self-induce high-amplitude gamma synchrony during mental practice
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.0407401101
Matthieu Ricard said in the above video, that he hopes that new scientific data will come after this paper. But where are these scientific data 20 years later? The data which are published in «Altered Traits»?
Is not a main message of this book, that 20 min of daily practice of meditation can be objectively measured in a brain scanner, and changes or brains as a consequence in an objectively measurable way? But is this all after the revolutionary PNAS paper about meditation from the year 2024?
Richard Davidson and Daniel Goleman said also in an interview on YouTube, if we remember correctly, there are people in India who meditate as a full-time job (and teach it also?), and these are also funded for doing this. But did Richard Davidson and Daniel Goleman not also say, they can’t do what these people in India do?
But what about rich people who suffer and are unhappy in the year 2024? Are there not yet any special medical treatments which are clinically validated with brain scanners and highly qualified scientists who offer this for a lot of money? Where are these long-term scientific studies about meditation done with brain scanners? Do we not expect these data 20 years after the revolutionary PNAS paper on 2004?
Have such scientific studies been done by now, but where those funded by private funds from people who now want to make money out of these scientific findings, and don’t want to publish those? Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org invites you to ask for these scientific data and also special offers for instance
- at the Center of Healthy Minds in Madison USA.
- At Laghsam Meditation in Zurich
- At Vanja Palmer’s Felsentor Meditation retreat center on the mountain Rigi.
- Or at other places you eventually would expect such offers, for instance in the Research Institute of Rob ter Horst, who tests smartwatches but also has a brain scanners in his lab.
Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org invites you to go there and to ask for it. Maybe you can get the phone number of a law firm at the Bahnhofsstrasse in Zurich. Eventually one with a business lawyer who manages foundations. And a nice young lady picks up the phone, invites you for an appointment, and leads you into the discreet office of a Swiss business lawyer at the Bahnhofstasse in Zurich. Eventually you find such an offer, where these kind of lawyers can eventually help you, and will communicate you the conditions.
Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org once met a a nice young lady who worked for a business lawyer on Bahnhofsstrasse in Zurich who managed foundations. She picked up the phone in the lawyers office, opened the door, and then guided the people to the office of the lawyer. But the young lady said to Peter Gamma from www.petergamma.org, that she was working for two years in this lawyers office at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich. But after she had worked there for two years, she still did not know what they where doing there. And she felt unhappy working there and quit her job at the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich.
But in spite all of this negative hypothesis Peter Gamma from www.peteramma.org articulates here, he still hopes that scientific data about long-term meditation studies which are sustainably published in journals at the highest level will be published sooner or later, scientific studies which are publicly funded, and will be available for everyone.
