Four types of letting go:
1) Giving; expecting nothing back in return
2) Throwing things away
3) Contentment; wanting to be here, not wanting to be anywhere else
4) "Teflon Mind"; having a mind which doesn't accumulate things

This man's biology is remarkable.
In the future -- maybe 30 years -- assuming we're not all dead, I believe there will be something you could call a "neo sapien", an entirely new species of genetically enhanced human beings which will all have powers like this... hopefully, in my lifetime...

Also on that user's youtube channel there are other "Extraordinary People" including a man who can calculate large numbers in the blink of an eye (aka Human Calculator) and some people who claim to have their senses mixed together, so that they can "taste sounds" or "hear colours", etc.

and there has been research done on this form of meditation.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
