Thank you too, Jeff, this is what I was trying to say. I think now everybody can see the similarities of both explanations. Now the question is: whos was first? My guess is that scientology was first, and MMY used that model, adapting it for his own purpose of Mantra Meditation. It didn't change the meditation, but it changed how we see it, and how we see our own progress. It's one of the puzzles showing how MMY was trying to rid TM from its own religious heritage, or rather transport it into a new terminology. IMO the 2nd day checking explanation plus the prep lecture are the backbone of the TM ideology.
