That's a silly mission. There's already a ton of AWESOME wheels out there from psychology research, the self help movement, religious practices, and others. The short term goal shouldn't be to build a new wheel, it should be experiment and figure out which of the existing wheels actually role. Once that's done, you can go about inventing new techniques, but starting from scratch is just a silly way to go about it.
Are you really suggesting CFAR should pick up techniques from religious practices and import them as is without reinventing them and stripping out all the paranormal stuff?
In terms of religious practices, I think CFAR could play the same role that EG The Center For Mindfulness does at UMASS Medical Center. They figure out which wheels from zen practices actually role, and which don't.
