A philosopher from the Qualia Research Institute reflects on a 7-day vipassana meditation retreat, proposing connections between Western neuroscience and phenomenology concepts and Eastern contemplative practices. The author presents personal perspectives, models, and hypotheses on how QRI's theoretical frameworks might relate to meditation experiences, acknowledging the tension between intellectual analysis and the retreat's goal of non-conceptual awareness.
