He said, if Kaplan understood him correctly in the first place, that there was no proof that all the things that Kaplan thought would happen would happen if they implemented what Kaplan wanted. The context was that he was responding to a suggestion to blow all of the TMO capital on a project that would make sure that the TMO wouldn't survive if they were wrong. The implication of the ME studies is that there is a shortcut to trying to teach everyone (or most people) in the world to meditate: get a small number meditating/hopping together will have the same global effect. But what if it didn't? Then the long-term goal of the TMO, to get everyone to meditate, would never happen. ------------------------ Yahoo!
