He's made the rest up in hindsight throwing in some Soviet political philosophy.
However on my TTC I started thinking about how Maharishi was distracting a lot of young folks who would have otherwise become world or community leaders. Some were there because they wanted to be leaders and felt that TM would help them be better at it. I like to credit MMY with inventing "yuppies" because so many wanted to spend more time with MMY and figured that the only folks who were able to do so were those wealthy kids (with trust funds) so they needed to become "financially independent." Remember when that was an important phrase among teachers? So many got into businesses, multi-level marketing schemes and along the way forgot about TM, became less into spirituality and more into materiality. Alan Watt who is a frequent guest on many alternative talk shows even believes the Freemasons behind the scenes engineered MMY's success just for the purpose of distracting and controlling youth with TM being a blend of Christianity and Hinduism. Sometimes I wonder if Watt was a TM teacher but never has admitted to it though he seems to have a lot of knowledge of the movement. The guy has a lot of MP3 files on his site of his "blurbs" about the history of man and how the elite like to engineer the culture to control the common folks. Some is a bit far fetched but interesting nonetheless. I would recommend first downloading the files where he is a guess and thus asked to provide an overview of his philosophy. http://www.cuttingthroughthematrix.com
