I wonder about how the analogy is being used though. On the face of it, it is just an analogy, saying that they work in the same sort of way. But usually analogies are made to something that the listener is already familiar with, to explain something new. Are people really that familiar quantum mechanics?
I'm wary that actually the alalogy is that meditation is like this concept, which lots of smart people believe in, even though it is accepted that the details are very hard to understand; so you won't need to understand the details of meditation either.
It does have some use as an analogy though, despite its flaws.
