Zen is one of several mental or spiritual disciplines that have become the object of recent scientific interest and theory. The authors discuss several aspects of Zen, such as the psychophysiological effects of meditation and the general impact of enlightenment, that are potential areas of fruitful research. They stress, however, that researchers can gain true understanding of the different...

A homologous series of 4-alkyl-2,5-dimethoxyphenylisopropylamines (alkyl = H through n-C5H11 and t-C4H9) was synthesized and compared with mescaline as serotonin agonists in a sheep umbilical preparation. The three-carbon homolog 6d was found to be the most potent of the straight-chain series in accordance with its observed psychotomimetic effectiveness in man.

The Common Ground of Merleau-Ponty's and Wittgenstein's Philosophy of Man MICHELE F. EPSTEIN I. THE MIND--BODYPROBLEMis one of those old philosophical puzzles that appear to defy solution and remain today as controversial and perplexing as ever. Monistic materialists, on the one hand, and dualists, on the other, despair of ever succeeding in winning over their opponents or in reaching even the...
Kybernetes April 1, 1975 W. Stallings
In recent years, evidence has accumulated that there are four distinct states of consciousness under normal conditions; in addition to the three commonly experienced states of wakefulness, sleep, and dreaming, there is a fourth state achieved by various Eastern meditation techniques. A model of man is discussed that could account for these states. This model, inspired by the concepts of...
Planning Review April 1, 1975 Raymond Van Over
Are hunches, intuition, and extrasensory perception valid methods for making business decisions? The reasonable answer is no. Our intellectual and cultural history dictates a rational, thoroughly examined, and logically analyzed approach to problem solving. But there are hints that the traditional approaches to decision‐making are being modified, and that subliminally generated material is not...

Gellhorn and Kiely's attempt to generate a neurophysiological theory which accounts for the psychophysiological states produced during Zen and Yoga meditation is criticized because it: a) ignores fundamental differences within and between the various meditations; b) fails to consider certain important published evidence on Yoga meditation; and c) provides an ambiguous interpretation of...

Western sage psychologists, such as the Murphys (1968), have long felt the need to inform themselves and their confn!res on Asian psychology, now looming so large on the western horizon, Like western psychology, Asian psychology developed a scientific methodology, first, by observing mind phenomena, called dharmas, introspectively.Originally, the Hindus turned to introspection for other than...
PSYCHOLOGIA 1974 Robert A. C. Stewart 2 citations
Systems for promoting self-realization have come both from the West and the East.Two basically Eastern systems of "therapy," in the Zen tradition and the Hindu Yoga meditative tradition, are now attracting substantial interest in the West.There is now substantial Western concern to evaluate their effectiveness in the way that many other psychotherapeutic traditions have been examined.In...

A new dimension in the nature of man is coming into view in modern psychology.This dimension may be termed the Self .It is the central core, the deep source and foundation of the empirical self, the latter being comprised of constantly changing thoughts, emotions and physical states.The Self may be known and experienced through the transcendence of the normal state of consciousness to a higher...
Religious Studies September 1, 1973 William J. Wainwright 14 citations
In this paper I propose to examine the cognitive status of mystical experience. There are, I think, (at least) three distinct but overlapping sorts of religious experience. (1) In the first place, there are two kinds of mystical experience. The extrovertive or nature mystic (in some sense) identifies himself with a world which is both transfigured and one. The introvertive mystic withdraws from...
