Request for participance in research

Helloooo, I've sort of been following the DhO and related communites since some time in 2009.

Basically I'm doing a presentation on the Psychology of Spiritual Experiences in my psychology class.

I'm asking your for your help in answering some questions, if you don't want to participate that's fine, but if you do, please first state what your claimed attainment is and then answer the following questions:

'¢How is your life different from before, after your experience of enlightenment?

'¢What's your mood like? How is your mood different from before, or during or
after your enlightenment?

'¢How has enlightenment changed your perception of the world?

'¢Are there any bizarre psychologically abnormal phenomenon or
occurrences that occurred in conjunction with enlightenment, after
enlightenment or during the process of enlightenment (black outs,
hallucinations etc.)?

'¢What bizarre psychological experiences have you had during your lifetime?

'¢How did enlightenment or the process of enlightenment affect your
feelings or emotions, what feelings or emotions did they generate?

'¢Are you happy?

'¢Have you ever been diagnosed with a psychiatric illness?


Also take the Big 5 Inventory here: www.outofservice.com/bigfive/

and post the link to your results, I don't think you have to fill in the personal information questions.

Thanks very much.

bboyYen, I seem to remember you from before. What other handle have you used here on KFD?

Are you really a psychology student? (I am skeptical.) What school do you attend? Tell us more about your project.

Thanks,

Kenneth

Hi, yes I used the same exact username for the wetpaint Dharma Overground. But I haven't made an account for Kenneth Folk Dharma before.

Well no I'm not a university student but I am taking Psychology AP in high school, I'm a senior in high school and I attend PVPHS in California.

Basically I'm doing a project on the Psychology of Spiritual Experiences, but in truth I don't really want to know, I'm not really researching. The project will probably be a video or powerpoint where I display the names of enlightenment-claimants and the answers to the survey questions. And if I can find any material on the psychology of enlightenment I'll include that too.

Does anyone else want to particpate. I'm particularly looking for someone who claims full enlightenment. For the presentation it will probably be a powerpoint, but I might edit it into a video and put on youtube.

Your name, responses and BFI scores will be in the powerpoint (along with a photo fo you, if I can find one).


If you're uncomfortable with posting here you can email me at

Enlightenment mugshots?

If you want me to I can anonymize (called you Enlightenment claimant # somethings) and not include a picture or any information.

One of the members just sent me this link, where bboyYen posted a similar or identical request on the DhO:

Mr. Yen, based on your contradictory statements, I believe your are misrepresenting yourself and/or your motives. You are now banned from this forum, and this thread is closed.
