Much better she read this: http://www.imprint.co.uk/Wilber.htm Written in 1997, it represents almost two decades of Wilber's thinking after "No Boundary" and actually mentions the "hard problem" (Chalmers didn't even introduce the term until the early '90s). And Wilber's had another 16 years since then to develop his theories. If nothing else, Share will see why I was discouraging her from attempting to make her own synthesis when she doesn't even understand the nature of the "hard problem" (and won't until she deals with it on its own terms rather than trying to "explain" it via Maharishi's teaching).
