Holosync

This is just the dialogue I was looking for. My reactions while using it have been mixed.  On some occasions it has put me into a kind-of spacious state I have occasionally reached in traditional meditation. But I've had every other kind of reaction as well from plain old distracted thinking about regular stuff, to odd physical sensations, discomfort sitting - all the usual. Like you say, he hammers away about "subjective reactions mean nothing" and "let anything be ok."  Well, I think most traditional meditators, me included, feel ok about evaluating a particular session as "deep as opposed to shallow" or even "good" or "not so good."  I agree the long-term effect is what counts, and that it's not even suppose to be all about bliss, but I also think it's ok to expect some steady progression in achieving state changes and ultimate greater daily peacefulness in any method.

The same personal changes that led me to make an investment in Holosync are happily leading to me a greater calm and acceptance in general.  I'm not sure one could ever quite separate out what benefits are the result of the motivation that lead to the purchase in the 1st place, the investment in sitting for an hour a day listening to pretty sounds (OR complete quiet in traditional meditation) and the effects on binaural beats in the ears. As I dug deeper into what scientific research is offered by Harris I learned it's pretty damn old - back in the 70ties a lot of it. I hope II is working on something more conclusive then that "many Integral users say it helps." Most all Integral users complain that the promotion is over the top - even those who claim benefits.

Well, in conclusion, I bought it. And I'm going to use it according to instructions for at least 4 months. And I'll see what happens. Keep in touch with your experiences and thoughts.  I'm really interested.
