Course Description

Maharishi gave two classic talks to the Invincible America Assembly in 2007, that he said he had been waiting 50 years to give.

Finally he found in the Invincible America Assembly the right audience for those teachings. Maharishi considered these special talks essential for those enjoying very advanced experiences through the rounding program of the Invincible America Assembly.

This course will be led by Dr. Bevan Morris, and Drs. Doug and Linda Birx, and is for Invincible America Assembly pioneers past and present. Together we will go deep into the message of Unity Consciousness Maharishi brought out in these two precious sessions.

Delicious vegetarian meals will be available to purchase at Annapurna Dining Hall.

Reviews of Previous Courses with Dr. Bevan Morris

“Bevan has done a brilliant job with this course. I hope he will do more.”

“Dr Bevan Morris has, as always, proven himself an accurate and pure conduit for Maharishi’s Pure Knowledge.”

“Every lesson is filled to overflowing with the reality of Vedanta – one can enjoy again Maharishi lectures from past years which now, seen in the light of this course, provide deeper insights into Vedanta.”

“Taking this course has enriched my experience more than I can say, it has shone a new light on an aspect of my personal experience which was there but not yet recognised – now it has a fresher, deeper meaning. ”

“Very inspiring!”

“Uniquely and very well presented. I learned new things and saw many things in a new light.”

“Dr. Morris, like Maharishi, has a way of making the complex simple. I’ve heard Maya being explained many times by experts including those in the TM organization, but never really got a feel as to what it really is. When Dr. Morris explained Maya in this course that’s the first time I completely understand what it means.”

“Wonderful course!”

“Dr. Morris took great care and thoughtfulness selecting each Vedic Expression and enlivening bliss. The course was delightful.”
