No, it's, actually, not an insult. What Aral means, is that there are two theories about the function of our brains:
1- Human brain is a fully functioning computer, with own CPU's, memory, etc.
2- Human brain is a ChromeBook, with only the bare necessities on-board, for the rest it must reach the "Cloud services" through the Internet connection.
3- The Universe is holographic, every tiny piece of anything contains all the complete information about the Universe.
The second one is what Aral calls a "fertile brain". Most (if not all) practices (e.g. yoga, qi-gong) assumes (2) and to some extent (3). Western science is beginning to expand from (1) to (2) and (3), because way too many things cannot be explained with isolated (1).
I've been practising every day (usually 3 times a day) for the last several years (spontaneous qigong, natural flow yoga and/or meditations) and according to my experience, yes, not everything can be explained rationally from the Western science point of view.

But there is a government -- you can't deny that.Governments, just like religions, and all other systems are egregors. You can connect to or disconnect from them, feed them with your energy and experience and get energy and information back. Such egregors do not assume the existence of higher aspects.
This example, while seems logical, is, actually, not. This is what the major difference between religions and science is. Science is based upon repeatable proofs, religions are based on beliefs with rare proofs in the form or miracles (egregors of religions accumulated enough energy for occasional miracles to get more followers). It's very easy to prove, that the government does exist, but reliable proving the existence of higher aspects seems problematic.

The ideal situation is when the internal dialogue is completely switched off. For example, the goal of radja yoga is to control your own mind. In order to achieve it, you have to learn to control your emotions, in order to achieve it, you have to learn to control your body. (Very simplistic.)

1- Your physical state is improving
2- Your relationships with other people are improving
If any of the two is not true, something is wrong. Showing anger and absence of patience are clear indicators of "something is wrong".
