So do you feel that there are "study design" issues with some of the TMO research? I would think that almost any question presented to your typical TMO research subject would be completely indoctrinated into the "good" response, no? How could you hide that? Wouldn't you have to have TM/TMSP meditators who were not exposed to any such bias--which would even mean the literature which precedes the intro lectures and the scientific lit. IN the intro. lectures? Pretty hard person to find. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!' Yahoo!
