From Raemon's Project Hufflepuff thread, I thought it might be helpful for there to be a periodical check-in thread where people can post about their projects in the spirit of cooperation. This is the first one. If it goes well, maybe we can make it a monthly thing.
If you're looking for a quick proofread, trial users, a reference to a person in a specific field, or something else related to a project-in-progress this is the place to put it. Otherwise, if you think you're working on something cool the community might like to hear about, I guess it goes here too.
I'm working on an overview of the science on spiritual enlightenment. I'm also looking into who has credible claims to it, whether it is something worth pursuing and a survey of the methods used to get there.
If anyone knows someone (or is someone) that thinks they might be there or part-way there and who would be willing to chat a bit, that'd be lovely. If you've just dabbled in some mystical practices and had a few strange experiences and want to bounce some ideas around, that could be fun too.
This blog doesn't appear to be active anymore, but it contains a lot of helpful ideas from an LWer who was an experienced meditator.
The blog led me to buy the book The Mind Illuminated which is a very clear, thorough, secular and neurologically sound (where possible) manual on attaining classical enlightenment through vipassana+mindfulness. I'm currently trying to follow its program as well as I can.
