That covers a lot of ground.:-)  I agree that TM is a mechanical means to 
liberation, through the knowledge of the Veda, and that it can work as 
described. It is basically a tool for us to get out of the dullness you 
mentioned, and get things moving again - we are at our core, transcendental 
beings and might as well get on with it. I also see Maharishi as a great 
messenger, responding to the need of the times, to bring out the knowledge that 
he did, though I have no need to revere him as a personality.  

 As for TM being for everyone, it doesn't appear to be. Many who learned in the 
past have now set it aside. The intellectual case could be made certainly that 
it is a benefit for everyone, but each of us makes up our minds differently, 
and we are often drawn to spiritual practices for karmic reasons, in addition 
to a well reasoned approach. 
 

 Simply having the opportunity to find a teacher and learn TM is enough, imo, 
and that is now well established globally.

 You asked: what are the 3 most important ideas in my book:
 A PIRATE'S CALL TO MAHARISHI MAHESH YOGI; GENIUS IS EASY, BEHAVIOR'S A MESS

#1. The most important idea to me in my book came, after I finished writing it, 
as I witnessed what I wrote. 
I am still learning what I wrote, as I read it again and again.
 
In chapter 5, titled: MAHARISHI'S GIFT.
 In so many words, Maharishi had one job...to inform, there lies within: your 
potential, unrealized intelligence and joy. Maharishi provided us with a key to 
unlock the pathway to what we already own: our birthright.

So many people in the world believe or unconsciously assume this knowledge of 
life, the vedas, the meditation process, all this is given, from Maharishi. 
Yes... Maharishi has provided us with the key to turn on the vehicle. Who owns 
the vehicle?...we all do. Knowledge is structured in consciousness, we are 
remembering and tapping into what we already possess. 
If people really understood this reality, they wouldn't say, nah, not 
interested, meditation is not my style. People would line up at age 10 to 
receive their key to unlock their God given potential as human beings.

This is not Maharishi's knowledge, it is the knowledge of life. Thank God, 
Maharishi has enough patience and heart to pursue the work.

#2. That genius seeps through cracks of dullness. In an instant, brilliance of 
mind may surface an idiot of sorts. That is my subjective experience: as dull 
as I am, I am genius in moments as it comes without effort.
Not a lifetime of meditation, an instant, it arrives and one realizes, I am 
more than what I thought, was capable.

#3. That we drag old thought through fresh fields of lost wonder. Starting with 
chapter 3:  realizing that habits and conditions of mind, filter out, our love 
of life. Meditation is a tool for a freshening sense.
