"Much of what I have written about derives from my own personal
experience with meditation and other activities associated with
spiritual states. A hallmark of understanding the workings of
meditation is the experiential aspect. One cannot truly understand
it just through the intellect. One must experience it directly to
comprehend fully. The authors of the recently published book
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, all seasoned
psychologists, wrote about this issue. In attempting to incorporate
Jon Kabat-Zinn's time-tested Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction
Program into their own cognitive approaches in treating depression,
they realized that hearing and thinking about the methods were not
enough. They needed to be deeply engaged in the Mindfulness
practices themselves before they had a true comprehension. They
also realized in order to effectively treat depressed people with
this technique, during teaching, they needed to remain in a mindful
state themselves for the students to gain maximal understanding.
When one has a direct experience, it can have powerful effects on
belief. Such was my own as it pertains to spirituality and might
explain why, as a scientist, I felt the need to search for clearer
understanding of it."
