I don’t think I ever said I don’t “believe” in the “Maharishi Effect”. I think it’s an interesting theory. I think consciousness is a field. I’ve been in groups as large as 8,000 meditating, and the effect was palpable. I think the movement bends over backwards to try to get sometimes dubious research to validate their theories, but even if the research isn’t as rigorous as might be hoped, the theory might have substance. I think TM research may have validated it to some extent, but with the vested interest being so strong, one has to take the reseach with a grain of salt.

In context Rick don't have to believe nothing like what you are trying to say, he certainly knows the Meissner field effect [M.E.] of consciousness like the Maharishi Effect observes.

He also describes his current take on his activities back then: Insane.
