Hubbard modelled his Dianetics after Psychtherapy. He surely was aware of Samskaras, but in Indian thought samkaras are usually not being rid of by just making them conscious. This is typically Freud. You become conscious of something hiding in the unconscious and get rid of it thereby. You don't find this in the indian Samskar theory. Similarely in TM the stresses are being released when the thought arises. I am not aware that in indian theory the arising of thought is seen as getting rid of Samkaras. I am not saying that it cannot work. I am just saying that I am not aware of such a source. I don't think that it's bad to get inspired and influenced by other contemporary movements. But personaly I wouldn't be too rigit about this thought=stressrelease theory. It's helpful, but its also a trap. You get rid of Samskaras in TM. But it's not one to one with the thoughts arising IMO. you have to distinguish of a theory being helpful to keep a certain process going - as an explanation, to not resist thoughts or force oneself, and it being *literally* true.
