Exactly--and most of the intact traditions will have inner signposts,
all entirely subjective but nonetheless personally verifiable--and
teachers who are able to act as guides for this inner landscape.
However when you want to *sell* something, it becomes important to
have some sort of carrot to persuade--and in that persuasion
scientific materialism can be used to foster and promote spiritual
materialism. The TMO probably represents the greatest form of this
style of scientific and spiritual materialism in the history of
meditation. Was it a failed or successful experiment? I guess we all
decide for ourselves--and people's feet.
