   This is pretty standard mysticism stuff.  It has been around since   
   before recorded history.  The biggest  fear should be the loss of his   
   money to learn something that you could have learned for cost of a   
   book and practice.  But it appears that it is helping your brother   
   open up to new levels of consciousness and so it maybe well worth the   
   $150 or so.   
      
   I suggest that you stop fearing it and give it a try yourself.   
   Besides, meditation has been shown to have great many more practical   
   benefits as well.  It's great for relaxation and can thereby improve   
   your health.
