A 1982 study[13] of the physiological effects of Tummo has been made by Benson and colleagues, who studied Indo-Tibetan Yogis in the Himalayas and in India in the 1980s. Conducted in Upper Dharamsala in India, it found that the subjects, three monks, exhibited the capacity to increase the temperature of their fingers and toes by as much as 8.3 °C. In a 2002 experiment reported by the Harvard Gazette,[14] conducted in Normandy, France, two monks from the Buddhist tradition wore sensors that recorded changes in heat production and metabolism. A 2013 study[15] by Kozhevnikov and colleagues showed increases in core body temperature in both expert meditators from eastern Tibet and Western non-meditators.

To write plainly, Tummo is known in popular discussions as the process whereby the practitioner (monk, or otherwise) can raise his body temperature at will and on call. Films exist of near-naked monks bodies steaming while sitting in snow. Tummo could explain how near-nude holy men can live in very cold places with no shelter and few clothes. Tummo demonstrations are one of the few esoteric practices that practitioners will display to anyone and to science.

when you have a fever your body heat goes up

heat moves to outside of your body to the cooler areas, to form equilibrium

that sensation of losing heat from inside your body to outside your body is called "getting the chills" or feeling cold

>not at the neural level it's not, the decision making level and how that decision translates to electrical impulses

The reason being that we don't know exactly how every single neuron forms wires and connections in the brain. There's currently a project going on right now that is attempting to figure out how the neurons in the brain connect the different parts of the brain together, and it's called the 'Connectome Project'.

Unfortunately, I don't think it will answer what you're looking for, which is how 'qualia' translates into actual electrical impulses. But just because we have no clue how that works exactly doesn't mean I'm any more willing to believe that 'chakras' have anything to do with how this guy sustains his body temperature.

The reason why chakras are vague and incomprehensible is that they are completely unobservable and most likely do not exist. It's not because people came up with them a thousand years ago. We started naming different types of minerals thousands of years ago too, but we still agree that iron and tin are real things because people came up with those labels off of /sound/ observations.

>we're 20 years away from a singularity

What is the practical consequence of that? I'll tell you. The superintelligent computer is going to quickly realize the planet is fucked and humanity is the problem.

>probably 21 years from terraforming all the planets in our local solar system and establishing colonies.

Complete fantasy. Meditate harder.

>Do you even read?

In the future no one will read anything.

I've just started with his book..
everyone support$$$$$ the guy!
anyway:
"An hour later, we returned home. I went to take off my son's jacket when I realized that he was still holding the ball of snow in his hands! He told me he wanted to put it in the fridge and store it. Like most children, they want things to last forever. So, we let him cherish the memory by storing the snowball in the freezer.
I grew curious as to how he was able to hold onto the chilled ball for that long and not complain about the pain."

>>To my surprise, his hands weren't cold at all. In fact, they were incredibly warm! I'll never forget my son's first experience with the cold.


>>To me, expanding consciousness is the path to true knowledge. The material you learn from books ultimately leads to an expanding consciousness. That experience finally quenched my thirst for knowledge. I now felt peace within and my mind was still."

Maybe everyone interested should check out his book

Quantum Cascade?

>anon what are you majoring in?
>physics and math double major
>WOW YOURE GOING TO MAKE A LOT OF MONEY WHEN YOURE OLDER

Oh god this. (I'm studying Physics w/ Astronomy)
No. No I am not going to make a lot of money. I am going to be a broke ass fucking nigger, scraping by, with mountains of debt, desperately trying to get noticed so I might one day be able to spend all day working on a huge fucking telescope and finally be happy. And if I get really unbelievably lucky, I might even go to space. AND I'M STILL GONNA BE A BROKE ASS NIGGER BECAUSE THE FINANCIAL SYSTEM IS FUCKED.

Picture unrelated, but helps me to forget that my dream job doesn't even exist and may never exist.

The fact that people are realizing that our enlightenment leads to them having nicer shit is a wonderful thing, and I'm not sure why you're framing it like a bad thing. It means that even the most unintelligent of people still have enough sense to realize that science is worthwhile for everyone, even if they have no interest in pursuing it themselves. It means that scientists can get lay people excited for worthwhile projects by talking about how cool it will be. It's a good thing.
