Re:Meditation v EMDR

I think that you are raising a very interesting issue. A lot of people for whatever reason, academic advancement, profits, to get a name for themselves ..pick up bits & pieces from here & there... sort of cut & paste a few things & give it a name & market the system & develop 'scientific studies' as proofs that people are supposed to believe. That's how a lot of political systems & religious organisations came to be.

A lot of these things are rip offs that like sects have come from the people who had a bright idea..wandered the world, or didn't even do that, just read a few books & came up with some more jargon.

The same sort of thing goes on with educational theory, martial arts systems, adapting other philosophies & so on. Some of these things become fashionable for a while, the latest buzz word, & then when people find they don't work or are too much work & unprofitable they slide off into oblivion. Some ideas undergo a name change & pop up again.
