Wilber co-wrote a review of spiritual teachers, and seems to approve of the practice of TM. From what I've read, Wilber's parents started TM practice some years ago. Read more: 'Spiritual Choices' The Problems of Recognizing Authentic Paths to Inner Transformation by Dick Anthony, Bruce Ecker, and Ken Wilber Paragon House, 1986 According to Wilber, the states of consciousness include: waking, dreaming, dreamless sleep, and nondual. Marshy seems to agree with this. Apparently Wilber ascribes to the 'two truths doctrine' of Nagarjuna. For Wilber no metaphysical doctrine or apparent reality is true in an absolute sense: only formless awareness, "the simple feeling of being," exists absolutely. "And tell me: is that story, sung by mystics and sages the world over, any crazier than the scientific materialism story, which is that the entire sequence is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying absolutely nothing? Listen very carefully: just which of those two stories actually sounds totally insane?"
