Hi Hillary,

Thanks for including this quote. I have never read this material but it covers something interesting to me in regard to meditation.

Some time back I began to think that being able to maintain conscious awareness during the sleep cycle might be very desirable. Then, when listening to one of Joseph Campbell's lecture tapes he stated that the purpose of all religious exercises was to develop this ability, and it greatly encouraged me to explore this notion more.

I kinda figured that the best approach to do this would be to learn to meditate for at least an hour and a half, the length of a normal sleep cycle as a way to accomplish this. Now, reading this person's statements seem to clarify things even more.

Is this guy the same one that taught TM?
