I learned plain vanilla TM and then after awhile learned the Siddhis
as a result of a work credit program. I never learned an advanced
technique, because I always had my hands full with the basic stuff,
and there was something about the way they were marketed where we
were just supposed to get them on faith, because they
were 'advanced'.
There seemed to be a two-tier system of knowledge in the TMO. On the
one hand the TM technique and TM Siddhis techniques, which had clear
benefits outlined and were heavily proslytized and sold. Then there
was all the other stuff, jyotish, advanced techniques, gandarva ved,
sthpatya ved, mapi, etc. Intuitively I found that it was much harder
to take advantage of the second tier stuff, so I stayed away from
it.
