An amusing quote was "Is ESP real? Today virtually all informed people agree that it is. It has been proved to the last decimal point of probability statistics that information is availible to us through something other than the five senses."
In my opinion if you are interested in meditation learn it from ancient Eastern tradition, because they have several millenia of culture based on their techniques, and don't have to rely on "the last decimal point of probability statistics" which doesn't even make sense.
