The Science of Deep Trance Meditation THE MASTER MIND: A WORKING HYPOTHESIS FOR THE DEEP TRANCE The following is an unpublished article by a Canadian-based author, who has followed Douglas' career for three decades. Anyone interested in scientific research of Deep Trance Meditation (DTM) will find this article illuminating. Note that the opinions expressed are those of the writer, and do not necessarily reflect those of Douglas Cottrell. During one "test" of Douglas, done in a hotel room in Toronto, Ontario in the early 1990s, a medical doctor read the names and addresses of five of his patients - as was done with Edgar Cayce - and Douglas, to the doctor's satisfaction, discussed the symptomology of each. Students of Cayce lore will immediately observe that this test duplicated a key test of Cayce at a turning point in his own career. At the tail end of that session, the MD, a specialist in diabetes research, mentioned to Douglas, still in DTM, that they were testing two protocols for pancreas transplants - one with extraneous fatty tissue still attached, and one without. Which would do better? "The one with the fatty tissue," Douglas replied. Several weeks later, the good doctor was kind enough to contact the writer to confirm that Douglas was correct. All of which begs the question, how much time could have been saved, if scientists and researchers sought Douglas out before their tests, to solve these problems...in advance? And then there is the plain, won't-go-away fact that what Douglas does is not very sexy or "Hollywood." In fact, for many experiencing the DTM for the first time, it is downright spooky and uncomfortable. For someone dealing with the DTM for the very first time - assuming you choose to be present in the room and not be read "remotely" - the impact can be jarring. So, the question begs for an audience, is there any "capital-S" Science to this? Click on subtitles to keep reading... v Scope of Deep Trance Meditation
