Dattatreya Siva Baba Responds to "Ken Wilber Stops His Brainwaves" on YouTube

I am assuming most of the readers of this blog have already seen the video "Ken Wilber Stops His Brainwaves," in which Ken uses an EEG to demonstrate the brainwave correlates to various meditative states.  This has been an exceptionally popular clip on YouTube--as of this writing there are just over 18,000 views of this video, more than twice as many as any other Integral Naked clip on YouTube.  The video is obviously making its rounds throughout the interweb, and has even elicited a video response from Indian guru Dattatreya Siva Baba, who essentially praises Ken's work while challenging the premise of the video, as if Ken were promoting "intellectual enlightenment" while ignoring "bodily enlightenment."  Here's Ken's response (only half of which seems to have made it to Baba's YouTube page):

“Brain training is only a small part of a total Integral Life Practice, which is much more complete even than Baba’s, although I certainly would recommend that you check out Baba’s as well. But for a complete Integral Life Practice, which works with body, mind, soul, Spirit, and shadow--in self, culture, and nature--check out the Integral Life Practice Starter Kit, here.  There is no more comprehensive, complete, holistic, and integral practice anywhere.  And thank you to Baba for the kind words.”
