But is it valid from the TM perspective? Two interesting things I found: 1) dissociative states are often associated with asymetric functioning of the hemispheres of the brain; 2) at least one advanced buudhist meditation technique appears to bring about asymetric functioning of the hemispheres ofthe brain. What if: the witnessing state of TM is based on the balancing influence of transcendental conscioiusness, whereas at least one Buddhist technique induces exactly the opposite effect. Both effects are described the same way, but what if one is based on a balanced, relaxed functioning of the nervous system, and one is based on an imbalanced fucntioning? People who have permanent witnessing due tothe balanced functioning would have a more relaxed response to life, whereas the people with permanent witnessing due tothe asymetric functioning ala dissociative states would have a dysfunctional response to life. The descriptions are the same, but the response to life is totally different.
