Miguel de Molinos was very popular with laymen and women. The reason he was
condemned by the Church was because he was giving people a method of
salvation that bypassed the Church hierarchy. (There were other contemporary
Christians teachers that taught similar methods so he didn't emerge out

Yes, Centering Prayer is a rip-off of TM. But there are precursors remarkably
like TM in the earlier Church, especially among the Quietists.
The 17th-century Miguel de Molinos taught us to turn our attention inward

Quietist in method like us. Was he influenced by others? His teaching became
a spiritual movement at a time? Published? Held meetings? He had students?
Another transcendentalist within the 17th Century.
The truly distinctive aspect of TM is how it's taught. And that's the biggest
difference, actually, between TM and Centering Prayer: TM is taught live,
one-on-one. Rather than a step-by-step set of instructions to follow, TM has
