The Importance of Meditation

Until until the mid 1960s or a little bit later, there was lots of evidence. Lots of research into giving people psychedelics that was not done to the standards we want scientific research to be done today. There are loads of fascinating things about psychedelics which you know much better than I do. So they did a smoking trial, they took people who were chronic long-term smokers and my mother smoked 70 cigarettes a day. She would wind up on 60 minutes and then swiftly cart it off to jail. The more you get, and there's scientific research about this, the more you get people control over their work, the more they find meaning in that work.
