IMO, MMY would not like to associate meditation with effort. It would be better to say that the human brain has the natural ability to transcend, which is the secret to fathoming the cosmic mind or the unified field. This ability to transcend is the pinnacle of creation from its basic constituent of matter. Kurzweil's idea of merging the human brain with the assumed emergent intelligence of computers would actually be a devolution from the present condition of human consciousness. >
