Maharishi teaches that God is realized first on the level of Being; Then on the level of feeling; Next on the level of thinking; And finally on the level of the senses. Here in the world, we have the consciousness of the relative field: The consciousness of waking, dreaming or sleeping. God is not realized with consciousness of the relative field. God is hidden or covered by all the activity here in the world; And by all the thoughts of your mind. God is first realized in the Transcendent, on the level of Being, as Universal God. When you have […]

When you enter this particular lifetime, you bring some of the store of Karma with you; Karma that has been built up over your many lifetimes.

Karma unfolds with reference to That Wholeness, and also with reference to what has come before: To the consequences of your […]

Here in the world, we have the consciousness of the relative field. We are either waking, dreaming or sleeping. This consciousness of the relative field is full of duality; Full of the pairs of opposites: Hot and cold; Near and far; Great and small. The relative field is a world of multiplicity full of duality. Consciousness of Self, however, is the Consciousness of the Absolute Field of Unity. There is no duality in Pure Consciousness. When the relative field is transcended in your Meditation Practice, the experience is of Self; The experience is of the Unified Field, Pure Consciousness. In […]

Your spiritual nature, your mental nature and your physical nature are all interdependent and interrelated. The individuated Consciousness projects your mind; And your mind projects your body.

Religions hold that God is other. Maharishi teaches, in the tradition of the Ancient Vedic Masters, that God is your Self. Atma is the Sanskrit word for Self. Atma is the Field of the Absolute That underlies the created world. Atma is never changing; It is unmanifest and unbounded; It is eternal. The relative field of Creation, on the other hand, is always changing; It is manifest with phenomenal appearances; It is bounded by space, time and causation. We experience our relative world with the consciousness of the relative field; The consciousness of waking, dreaming or sleeping. The consciousness of […]

Your Self, Atma, is the Field of the Absolute. It is the Field That never changes; It is unmanifest, unbounded and eternal. It is the Field of Divine Being.

There are infinities of possible Universes with all the lively possibilities of the Field of the Absolute. Your mind creates the particular circumstances of the particular world that will evolve your Consciousness; Evolve your mind; And evolve your physical body. The purpose of Creation, and the purpose of […]

Consciousness continues to develop with the practice of devotion to your Personal God. In time, the consciousness of the relative field is of […]

Your Personal God may be Krishna, or Buddha, or Christ, or Muhammad, or Maharishi, or any other fully realized human being. Now the practice is devotion to your Personal […]
