Course Description:
Join Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of Maharishi International University and the worldwide Transcendental Meditation® organization, on a fascinating journey of discovery of higher states of human potential.
In this beautiful 16-lesson course, Maharishi describes how higher states of consciousness unfold in human life and gives special attention to Unity Consciousness, where we live the wholeness of life in every part and particle of our individual existence—the totality of life in full enlightenment.
Maharishi describes in great detail the transformation of mind and body that upholds this development, the nature of subjective experience in each of the higher states, the processes of growth that give rise to each state, and the practical values of life in enlightenment. These talks therefore provide a rich source of knowledge and support as your own experiences of higher states naturally unfold—as well as great inspiration and comfort.
