From my POV, what appears to happen in some meditation practitioners is that the object of meditation, the mantra in TM, becomes a non-ascertained object to an inattentive awareness. As awareness allegedly expands, moments of non-ascertaining awareness should decrease and inattentive awareness should be replaced with an over-arching awareness or presence. It’s the over-arching remembering that keeps a practice from falling into non-attentive states and it’s sequelae.
