"No matter what your religion is - no matter what nationality - no matter what walk of life - if you are a human being, get this book - read it - get inspired by it - and act upon it - right away!" - David Lynch, filmmaker, television director, artist, and author
Throughout history, great men and women have described exalted experiences of extraordinary wakefulness, freedom, and bliss - as different from our ordinary waking experience as waking is from dreaming. Laozi, Plato, RÅ«mÄ«, 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. The Supreme Awakening: € brings together a rich and diverse collection of these experiences € explains these experiences in terms of a new, expanded framework of human development - the model of higher states of consciousness developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the renowned Vedic sage and scientist of consciousness € shows how anyone can systematically cultivate these experiences through the Transcendental Meditation technique - simply, naturally, and effortlessly € describes the wide-ranging benefits of cultivating enlightenment by means of the TM technique - inner peace and happiness, improved health, increased creativity and intelligence, improved productivity, and much more - with benefits for education, business, health care, the military, rehabilitation, and society as a whole € shows that the sublime experiences reported by great people across time are real, universal, understandable in terms of modern science - and now available to anyone.
