States attained during meditation?

[Steppingfeet]

Hello Ecz,

I am attaching a chapter from Scott Mandelker's "Universal Vision" regarding meditation.

I'm not sharing this to promote Dr. Mandelker, though I think his work worthy of promotion.

I share simply because, in my personal experience, this particular chapter formed the bedrock understanding of meditation, both in theory and practice.

It doesn't delve into particular techniques or schools of thought, but in a short space it gets to what I feel meditation is at the core. Bare-bones concentration and formless, choiceless, unattached, unmoved, all-accepting, mirror-like awareness. (That sort of awareness needs lots of adjectives. )
