“The Center for Contemplative Research, as projected by Alan Wallace, may play a decisive role in a revolution of the science of mind. … Full conversion of our approach of the ‘hard problem’ of consciousness is therefore conditional on a radical change of attitude and even maybe of civilizational orientation. … But such a momentous change in attitude can occur only if a non-conventional method of inquiry of mind and consciousness, by acquaintance rather than distantiation, is systematically cultivated. … This is why I fully endorse the establishment of this center, and will be pleased to participate in its activities.”
