Throughout history, great men and women have described exalted experiences, moments of extraordinary wakefulness, freedom, and bliss—as different from our ordinary waking experience as waking is from dreaming.

Laozi, Plato, Rumi, St. Teresa of Avila, Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Black Elk, Einstein—people of all times and places have described experiences that rank among the most inspiring in all of literature.

Today we’re able recognize these as experiences of transcending—experiences of what TM Founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi calls Transcendental Consciousness, a fourth major state of consciousness.

In this talk by Craig Pearson, Ph.D., you will:

  • Enjoy examples of these experiences from across time and explore their common features
  • See how ordinary people today, through their Transcendental Meditation (TM) practice, are describing the same experiences described by some of the great geniuses in history
  • Learn how this experience can become stabilized in our awareness, becoming a permanent feature of our experience
  • Discover the core teaching of the world’s great religions and wisdom traditions—that the greatest treasure in life, the thing to be sought and discovered above all else, lies within us.

Dr. Pearson, Vice President of Academic Affairs at Maharishi International University (MIU), is the author of the popular book The Supreme Awakening: Experiences of Enlightenment Throughout Time—and How You Can Cultivate Them. He has spoken around the country on higher stages of human development.

Dr. Pearson’s talk for the National Coherence Campaign (more below) was hosted by MIU on September 19, 2020.
