Of course you do. > > The ME is a wonderful narrative, but as science it is junk. I think John knows this in his heart, but won't accept it. The ME is now official TM dogma. It is never questioned and no further research is forthcoming. Its validity is exhorted over and over to the faithful who know next to nothing about science. Any prima facia evidence to contradict it is explained away by adding new pieces the the "theory." Again, as science it is pathetic, but as a spiritual narrative it is delightful. >
It must be a drag being a TM phycisist, you can't insist on empiricism as it's the opposite of vedic "science". You can't just claim to like the food and the company and hang around, if you want a management position, because science is so important to the TMO's image. The only solution is to sell your soul and get on with pushing the UF dogma. This must have happened to John as he seems content to be considered to have finished Einsteins work, which is something I'd keep quiet about outside the TMO. Maybe he's happier being a big fish in a small pond than an unknown in the outside world. Regarding the paper under discussion, I haven't found anything that unequivocally demonstrates that consciouness has a quantum element, let alone one that can propagate outside the body. In fact, most people say it's unneccesary/impossible! Which is why I think it should be tried again and again, and independently until it's demonstrated one way or the other. I heard Lawrence Domash said to MMY that we shouldn't be claiming to know consciousness is the UF as we don't know about that level yet. To which MMY replied "We are the leaders of this field!"
