Episode notes
Fire Kasina Mirrors Fatima Reports
- Fire kasina (fire-kasina) meditation produces colored, spinning afterimages and evolving visual disks called nimittas.
- Daniel Ingram's reports closely match many Fatima witness descriptions of colored swathes and spinning discs.

- This helps explain Fatima reports of drying clothes and feeling unusually warm.

- Rapid, mass attainment of advanced kasina effects (70,000 people) remains hard to reconcile with the practice's usual difficulty.
