I should add that Sarlo has no way of knowing the two anti-sites he lists have essentially been produced by cranks, not serious critics of TM. I enjoyed what I read of the site. Sarlo seems very genuine and doesn't take himself too seriously. I did think it was amusing that Barry would tout the site, not having bothered to look at enough of it to realize that Sarlo approvingly quotes his own guru, Osho, to the effect that running around sampling gurus and techniques is counterproductive to realization.
