Actually, Fred asked for volunteers who were reporting long-term 24/7 witnessing. He interviewed them and found correlations between how they reported their internal perception of "self" and their EEG and other physiological measures: http://www.brainresearchinstitute.org/research/ConcCog2004.pdf > Can't help comparing Earl's question to MMY about why he doesn't > establish a group, when I think about this ....

And, while perhaps I misremember the original letter, my recollection is that Kaplan reported MMY as saying "there is no evidence that what you say would happen would happen." Kaplan took this to be referring to the ME. I took it to be referring to financial support from a grateful world...
