Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

The reason that there would be unanimity of experience is because those having the experiences are all human beings. When people pratice meditation, they all have similar experiences, transformative experiences, and that is because that is what the practice of meditation brings about in those who practice it, not because there is an objective thing being experienced.
