Perspectives

The discussion was about inducting Archimedes into the Hall of Fame of spiritualists and Mindfullness  practitioners.

Those opposed felt that that Archimedes was not a very Mindful person. He,instead of being totally mindful and aware and in the present moment ,while having his bath, wasin fact thinking of the problem of the King's crown and Hydrostatics..

Those in favour ,however argued that Archimedes was in fact totally into the act of having a bath. He had in fact cleared his mind of all matters pertaining to the piquant problem of proving or disproving the purity of the gold used in the manufacture of the Crown. In this empty space of the mnd, the soluton to the problem arose,from  the depths of his Unconsciousness.all by itself.

The jury is still out.
