Fladrif: yes, I think this is the point made by a number of respected academics, researchers and psychologists (real ones -) ) In the section on "cults"  they state that TM is indeed a gateway as well as a mechanism of control (i could have introduced many more respected sources that stated this but did not under accusations the section was to long. This is important. You are of course also completely correct about the "science of creative intelligence". this is central to TM's beliefs regarding how the mechanism "works" yet it is highly conspicuous by it's absence here. While i always attempt to assume good faith there has been a suspicious amount of NPOV POV Forking in this article - the most clear aspect of this is the TM-Sidhu program which has somehow been split of from this article. The reason of course is that it is difficult to discus this with out mentioning "science of creative intelligence". We must I think redress this imbalance, as I am sure all good WIKI editors here are keen to do and dispel any question of POV Forking
