“Will you forgive me for making literal an experience that seems? more real than life, less possible than death? There is no place to put it, no way to hold it, nothing to know it with And yet it belongs, it stays, and it begs consciousness...”

I first met Bob at a gathering of friends. He appeared quiet, introspective and somewhat shy. However, we quickly cut through the small-talk and anxiety of first meetings to a deep discussion of awareness and self-observation. As I listened, I thought, ‘He must practice Buddhist mindfulness’. But no, he neither followed a spiritual path, nor was he engaged in psychotherapy. He was a musician. Later that evening I heard him play the trombone and recognized a seasoned jazzman.

The recent controversy over some unlabelled ingredients from a traditional medicine source has stirred up an old controversy — the validity of ancient healing systems vis-à-vis the modern medical establishment. The advocates of the first believe that allopathy, the child of modern science, is risky and dangerous, that it merely suppresses symptoms rather than cures the illness and that its side-effects are excessive and can even be life-threatening. Those who side with the latter believe that all other systems of healing other than allopathy are unscientific and unproven, that they do not have any effect or perhaps only a minimal one, that it is dangerous to use them for serious illnesses since their non-effectiveness simply leads to a natural worsening, and that whatever cures are claimed are simply the result of natural resolution of the illness rather than an effect of the medicine. Since both sides cling to their beliefs, people are left to decide for themselves and choose whatever system they prefer.
