I met Bob in the mid-1980s. I was collecting essays on TM for a book (never, alas, published), and I think he submitted one to me. He was very scornful of anything to do with the TMO and didn't take anyone on MIU faculty seriously. Interesting that like many people he no longer acknowledges that it was TM that gave him his first start in the kind of experiences he discusses.
It's pretty obvious though he's taken a lot of ideas from TM without attributing them, merely changing the names.
