>The dark side of meditation retreats: Two Americans kill themselves after being driven to psychosis by 11 days of silence
RIIIIIGHT…. it was silence that drove them to suicide, NOT their entire lives leading up to that point, revealed to them by the silence
i'm reminded of the recent study that required volunteer subjects to sit alone, in a room, with no phone and no distractions, for a mere 15 min
virtually none of them could do it. a follow up study provided them with a button they could press to administer a painful electic shock TO THEMSELVES
one participant shocked himself every few seconds for the entire 15 minutes, rather than be alone with his own thoughts
this OUGHT to scare the living shit out of any sane people, if there are any still left
