Searching the World Wide Web for connections between James Austin and Susan Blackmore, I stumbled upon a website hosted by the Buddhist geeks (www.buddhistgeeks.com). Both the neurologist and psychologist are associated with this group. In short, they collectively explore a wide variety of mystical experiences by scientific means. This is how they approach enlightenment, as well. Delighted, I wished to contact them at once. Having found the contact page, I started writing that I was a Buddhist geek, just like them. A rational mystic, that is. I explained how I approached the connection between shamanism and abstract art, which I also practiced. Also, I explained how I approached my yoga practice. My fascination with books by scientists like Austin and Blackmore rounded off my message. And then I added a few words about my website as a map of my own quest for enlightenment. Half way through the last sentence, though, I suddenly stopped in my tracks, erased the message, left the website, got off the Internet, and turned off my computer. Why in the world would I wish to get in touch with other Buddhist geeks? Is it not enough to be delighted that they exist?
