“I see several comments about how Thom has stolen Maharishi’s knowledge and teachings. Why is this? As far as I understand it, this knowledge is thousands of years old and is meant to be passed down from teacher to student over and over again. Isn’t that exactly what Thom is doing? Isn’t that what Maharishi would have wanted?
Maharishi didn’t invent this. He learned from Guru Dev. And Guru Dev learned it from his master. And that continues back for many years. TM has been around since, I believe, the 1950s. This knowledge and this technique for many years more than that. So how could Thom be stealing the knowledge from anyone?
Thom very often praises Maharishi in this podcast. He doesn’t claim to own any of this knowledge and he is constantly giving credit to Maharishi as well as other prominent teachers.
The only thing Thom isn’t doing, as far as I can tell, is teaching under the umbrella of the TM organization. He used to, and I am curious as to why he decided to sever ties and go out on his own. I have heard that Thom has inflated his credentials. If so that is shameful.
But, provided Thom is as qualified as he seems, this knowledge and technique can now be spread around the world in more than just one way. What a gift.
Some might say the TM organization exists in part to insure that the technique is taught correctly and so that there can be a maintaining of a certain level of quality. Well, maybe. But it’s been passed down for thousands of years without the existence of TM. So it’s certainly possible. And who’s to say all of those TM teachers all around the world are more qualified than Thom Knoles? I’m sure some are, and I’m sure some are not.”
