Everything that I share in this class is based on very rigorous research. 我在这个课上讲的理论都是经过大量研究证实的。This is one area where it's a hypothesis. 只有这个领域是假设性的。But bear with me and see what you think of it, of this hypothesis when I finish explaining it. 但还是请大家听一下，我讲完后请好好想想这个假设性理论。Because there is some, some research on it, not enough, you know for a stand of approval yet. 因为虽然是有一些相关研究，但是不多，不足以证实其真实性。But think about it. Does it make sense.

But experience just one with everythingThis is the experience they talk about in Zen, being connected to the present, feeling so good so complete like you don't need anything else. Everything is right here. 这种体验就是人们所说的禅与现在连接起来，感觉是如此美好如此完整。好像你已经完满了，拥有了一切
