[The once and future king]

I practise Buddhist meditation. This is a practise with many benefits one of which is increased intellectual function as a consequence of massively improved concentration.

Luckily for me Buddhism dosnt even approach the idea of God, and one of the central concepts is that there is no monadic soul.

Green men would be more than welcome and wouldnt challenge any of the core principles of Buddhism and neither would any advance in scientific understanding.

It might once have bothered me that you lump buddhism in with all the other God worshiping religions but these days Im more than able to let such things ride, buddhism is much like poker in that most people have a mis conception of what it is and what it is about.
