I don't think most TM'ers or most meditators in any group have been able to achieve the 'breathless' state which is indicative of Samadhi. Even if TM research merely points out TM produces states of rest comparable to sleep or better it is good and legitimate research bolstering the usefulness of TM in daily life....however, to suggest it proves higher states of consciousness without demonstrating complete cessation of the breath (and in some cases heart rate as well) is wishful thinking and TM spin.
