--Thanks, Vaj, as usual!. Your analysis, though astute, is typically Vajian erudite and consistent with history; but I'm into the NOW reality of which M-Fields are predominant.
I think the M-fields are still existing in all of the above with an authentic master of any of these traditions. The problem is 'can most people differentiate between spiritual placebo effects from authentic transmission?' Either way, the key is maintaining the transmission thru guru-yoga: uniting your consciousness with the masters and see what happens. If one has that link, one is connected to the M-field, irrespective of time or distance.
Origins make no difference. By analogy, Toyota is surpassing the other auto makers in sales. This is significant!. ...but I don't care about the origins of Toyota. If we look at the major influences NOW, we can categorize them as a simple list: for example.... a. the TM "Movement" on its last legs... (too bad), b. SSRS, c. Ammachi; d. Tibetan Buddhism as a whole e. Neo- Advaita; etc. These types of Movements are what I'm interested in, not an academic analysis of their origins in relationship to the original founders. Make sense?.
Somewhat. It's vital to understand and appreciate where, why and how they differ.
