Episode notes
Scale Problem For Kasina Theory
- Advanced fire-kasina stages usually require extensive practice and retreat-level hours.
- Rapid, mass attainment of advanced kasina effects (70,000 people) remains hard to reconcile with the practice's usual difficulty.
How To Safely Test Fire Kasina Effects
- To reproduce kasina-style afterimages, use a moderate-sized light and attend to the afterimage, not the source.
- Daniel Ingram suggests a 4-inch ceiling bulb and a minute or two of focused gazing as a safe experiment.
Videos Likely Camera Artifacts
- Modern video evidence of sun miracles is likely camera artifacts from automatic exposure and sensor limitations.
- Commenters replicated the camera brightness adjustments as the probable cause of apparent solar changes on video.
