Robert Wright Interview with Kenneth Folk

I thought it was a great interview—for me. But, I would not recommend it to a beginner or intermediate meditator because it might turn them away from all the benefits of meditation. Meditation has helped me be a more compassionate, kind, peaceful person. Hopefully this trend will continue. But, I have no desire to reach a point that some negatively describe. I would either stop before it hits if there are indicators of this or it might not come up because of my intentions and training in other Buddhist traditions.

Either some of the PD practitioners are more advanced than those of other traditions or their practice and scripting leads them toward it.
