Yes, you are probably right, it is very, very deep rabbit hole.
"Mantras, the Sanskrit syllables inscribed on yantras, are essentially
'thought forms' representing divinities or cosmic powers, which exert
their influence by means of sound-vibrations."

Appraently Ms Stein is the only person left on the planet that still
believes the TM mantras are not based on the names of the Hindu
personal gods mentioned by MMY in his "Beacon Light" and by SBS in
numerous satsangs. This correlation has been discussed by MMY in
detail in his comments on Bhagavad Gita. There's never been any denial
of this connection by anyone in the TMO, that I know of.
The notion that the TMer mantras are just meaningless sounds made up
by a yogi fakir are just untenable, on it's face. If that were true,
then just about any old sound or non-sense gibberish would suffice in
order for us to attain enlightenment in 5-7 years.
However, since we have the testimony of MMY and SBS, and a long line
of ilustrious rishis, we can accept their word as being true. Almost
all yogis and yoga adherents agree with MMY that the names of the gods
fetch to us the grace of the personal gods, Ram, Shyam, Saraswati, etc.
Why Judy would take this position of denial must be of a personal
nature, just to make people think I'm not posting the truth about TM
practice and the TM bija mantras. Otherwise, I guess she would offer
us an explanation for her strange and unauthorized beliefs. Go figure.
Our leader, Raja Nader Ram, has demonstrated the correlation between
the Vedic 'gods' which are shown to actually be the different types of
intelligence within our physiology. A groundbreaking report by Nader
Raam about the connection between the Vedic sound vibrations and human
physiology!
