He talks about presenting the knowledge in a scientific context for people living today because that is what they believe in. But despite the trappings of a Science of Creative Intelligence Maharishi did not hold the methods of science to be anything so valuable that he needed to respect them. And he didn't. I was characterizing his presentation of consciousness based on physiology as scientific materialism. I guess the reason this has caused debate is that I am implying that Maharishi was talking out of two sides of his mouth and Judy and perhaps you would like to see him as more sincere. We all have to make our own choices on the sincerity question. >
