European centric methods of scientific discovery frequently rely on quantitative analysis of problems and not allowing room to explore “giving-on-and-with.” We see acceptance of what we can’t discover the bottom of nature and recognizing not everything is reducible in our own lives. Meditation is a form of acceptance that we do not live in a linear drive and consenting to the tumbling currents of our lives. When we surrender, we find new sources of knowledge without grasping for complete definitions and find unity with global populations. To practice “giving-on-and-with”, I want to get lost in other cultures eradicating my culture.
