Because its inconvenient? To have some non-subjective
non-self-interpreative means to point to higher states?
Objective reality gets in the way of some story-tellers -- which to
them [the stories] form a higher truth than measurement, multi-party
verification or repeatability.
Fred Travis' work is interesting. Though I have not dug that deeply
into it. But physiological correlates to higher states and "more
refined functioning of the nervous system" has always a theme with
MMY, even back in the 60s.
Its not clear why many appear so harsh, or negatively reactive about
MMY's theme of siddhi's performance and higher states. (And I have
heard him say it.)
Its not clear why Fred and his gear are not invited to Satsangs. Maybe
he has been. Or maybe its the same propensity for stories over
measurement, multi-party verification or repeatability.
The latter is what brought the world out of the dark ages. But, hey,
stories are good too, entertaining, inspiring and all. And the dark
ages had their moments.
