It's whatever makes sense to you. The fact is there is strong consistency between traditions in this core meditation. Maybe you just prefer to take instructions on blind faith, but for me his claim that feelings cause the body to produce chemicals which influence the cells makes sense, removing my resistance to this meditation. His logical fallacies etc do not necessarily undermine the meditation. YMMV.
