re: #6 kreyagg

As a matter of fact, I’ve been going to both acupuncture and an allopathic doctor for over 26 years. There are certain symptoms which baffle the western doctor that the acupuncturist treats very effectively, and there are certain procedures that only western hospitals can deal with. There is no need for conflict, no need to discredit one over the other.

However, not all knowledge in the history of mankind has come from the European tradition.

When talking about consciousness, the same holds true. There is no reason to assume that all valuable knowledge has come out of the European tradition.
