He was at MIU SB mid 73. He had come (perhaps not directly) from Ft.
Bliss (for real) in TX doing some TM related studies. So I would guess
he was practicing TM at least back to 1970 or so. So 36 years.

So you have a point. Interest started "40 years ago". 1966. Low
probabilty that he started TM with the LA SIMS or SRM or other fringe
crowds in 1966. So he may have had several years of "seeking", trying
other techniques. But what was (readily) available then was a small
slice of what is avalable now.
