As it is, I'm always left wondering "is this real or was this fudged because M. said 'you either produce the effect I say is there, or you're out.' Frankly I'm excited about the Shamatha Project (which begins Sept of this year). This may end up being the most incredible research yet on meditation. I'm just reading some recent comments by Ken Wilber--who used to support TM (esp. Skip Alexander's) research. Now he seems to be wising up too--not even knowing all the extent of all the fallacies and chicanery.
