I'm glad not everyone found it schmaltzy ;) because even though I do, I still think the substance of what he says is true. I’m a big fan of simplicity, so I agree with that.

I agree it's strange but amazingly expressive. I just read Lynch's book about Transcendental Meditation and I didn't find it "schmaltzy" at all. I think that sometimes talk about TM can sound "simplistic" when in reality it's simply "simple." I mean simple in the most profound sense. As the beautiful description of enlightenment above is simple, but so profound. Any meditation that isn't simple will only further complicate the awareness, I've found, and not allow the mind to transcend and get to where the "big fish" are.
