In the future, perhaps, we will have greater knowledge and expertise of the integration of higher states as well. This knowledge has thus far belonged chiefly to the spiritual lineages, to different forms of pre-modern yoga and so forth. Let’s hope that changes: We have some promising trends in “positive psychology” and research on mindfulness.
This is the next area of true development. Think brainwave technology, early introduction and general lifestyle arranged around meditation techniques and other care of the body and mind, positive drugs that enhance.
