Chip seems to translate 'saMyama' to 'focusing with perfect discipline'. Example:
By focusing with perfect discipline on the body's relationship to the ether, and developing coalesced contemplation on the lightness of cotton, one can travel through space. I wonder how much that translation of 'saMyama' is due to Chip's apparently being a fan of Buddhism... http://www.arlingtoncenter.org/Sanskrit-English.pdf (p. 53)
