Below is the Anti-TM Fundies' Dilemma that drives them crazy, so they
ignore it and go off making crappy jokes to each other, or changing
the subject to Cajun Cooking Tips or some other nonsense:
There will never come a time when Science (research published in peer-
reviewed scientific journals) will be superceded by New
Age self-agrandizing dribble. This is the reality of life. This is
the modern world. You need to accept this new realization to become
liberated .
If this is indeed the case (I suspect it is not) then you should
expect to see TM and the TMSP fade from view.
Recent scientific studies on meditation show the results of
meditators in actual samadhi and show a profound level of gamma
coherence, one of the primary markers for samadhi. These same markers
are not present in TM. Also deep meditators show a market decrease in
metabolic rate 5-6 times deeper than relaxation techniques like TM.
It could just be that legitimate science will make inferior methods a
thing of the past as spiritual consumers actually choose methods
which really do work.
