The other fascinating thing here is that Vaj actually quotes these researchers as saying something that demonstrates they haven't a clue what TM's claims even are: > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj <vajradhatu@> wrote: <snip> > > Similarly, the initial claim > > that TM produces a unique state of consciousness > > different from sleep has been > > refuted by several EEG meditation studies > > that reported sleep-like stages during this > > technique with increased alpha and then > > theta power Of course nobody ever claimed TM produces a unique state of consciousness different from sleep *throughout the meditation period*. That "sleep-like" stages may occur during TM says nothing whatsoever about whether TM produces a unique state of consciousness different from sleep, let alone *refutes* that claim. This has also been pointed out repeatedly to Vaj.
