Course Description

Once again led for us by Dr. Warburton in his inimitable style, the course includes charts developed with Maharishi, special recordings of Maharishi, exercises and discussions via Zoom, as well as fascinating stories of a lifetime of experience working closely with Maharishi.

In Part Three of this unique four-part series, Dr. Warburton shows how all the different elements of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge — understood through Parts One and Two of this course – fit together in one unified wholeness. The core of the course will be a special chart that provides a comprehensive vision of all aspects of Maharishi’s Vedic Science as brought out over the years.

This four-part series on Maharishi’s Total Knowledge provides the fundamental building blocks on the basis of which the course participant naturally grows in the ability to see the whole of life in the context of Total Knowledge.

  “Beautiful, consciousness-expanding experience.” —ND

  “The title of the course truly lives up to its name, Total Knowledge, and seems to act like an advanced technique, as it stirs my consciousness to higher and higher vibrations, higher states of consciousness. The stories from Raja Peter are so inspiring, the knowledge is so keen and deep. The only way to improve on it would be to review it again, because it is so full of knowledge, something I plan on doing.” —Gary McCarty

  “I would describe this course to a friend as an ‘awakening.’ Now, awakening will happen differently for each of us, so perhaps a better way to describe the course would be as a ‘beautiful opportunity to awaken’ the light within. Also, an opportunity to see an expanded version of one’s self.” —Dr. Gilda M. Anroman

  “The course is incredibly enlightening.” —Richard Dietzel

  “Deep and clear understanding of what Total Knowledge is. I have been very fortunate that I have been introduced to the Total Knowledge courses.” —Prince Pabbies

  “A series of chats with a 21st century member of the Holy Tradition, Raja Peter Warburton, illuminating Total Knowledge, East and West.” —EPL

  “Where does everything in creation come from? What brings it about? How does it unfold? What does that have to do with me? What am I? Part 3 provides a mind blowing, revolutionary way to understand the answers to these questions. It’s like having a behind-the-scenes, detailed view of how everything we know and even the things we’ve lost our sight of, come out of our own consciousness, and what that means for the potentiality of ourselves and all of creation.” —Terry Laird

  “Maharishi designed this course to convey all his knowledge. I feel he is doing so in me. Raja Peter takes me step by step to understand what he presents. Even when I don’t understand, I get more familiar with the material and some pieces come together in a way that gives me additional understanding intellectually, and more importantly, that structures my inner knowing more clearly and solidly.” —Judy White

  “This course is an expansion of consciousness. Literally. I have finally gotten some real answers to some extraordinary experiences that have occurred in my body and in my life when in a meditative state.” —Anon

  “Like everything Maharishi offered to Mankind, this course reaches in to the core of Being and transforms life — how we see the world, and therefore live in the world — through the deep secrets of why life is like it is, its eternal, dynamic, and utter Goodness. Raja Peter delivers Maharishi as if it were Maharishi himself, with simplicity and humor, and absolute truth to Maharishi’s knowledge. And raises our lives once again with the vigor of flowing force of life of the Master.” —Catherine Berude

  “This course delves deeply into the very beginning of the absolute structure which will become the framework for everything relative and manifest, the multiverses which we can comprehend and those which we cannot yet fathom.” —Alison Burt

  “The course is a nice expression of Maharishi’s Knowledge. It focuses on relationships. The self-interacting dynamics of the structure of the Self (Atma) and its relationship to the structure of the universe is thoroughly reviewed in depth.” —DE

  “A very blissful and thorough presentation of ‘Total Knowledge and Higher States of Consciousness’ taught by an expert in the field, Dr. Peter Warburton, who was working directly for Maharishi since the early seventies.” —CJ

  “The course lays out in great detail how this world and those of us in it are created.” —Anon

  “I highly recommend this course of Raja Peter, who was cultured by our Master Maharishi to reflect the deepest truths in the simplest and purest form. I felt  Maharishi’s presence in the words and content of this course and my heart felt deep gratitude for this gift from the Master.” —WP

  “Every person should take this course and will get exactly what they need. Do not be discouraged about what you don’t retain, because it is within you, we contain all of the knowledge. Trust in your own process of right timing. There is so much knowledge that I will be processing this for a lifetime. It has changed my meditation. My physiology has evolved. I need to take this course a few more times and I will! Dr. Warburton is the perfect teacher.” —Cheryl Johnson

  “The course is so sublime to me, however it is hard for me to describe it as I see other participants describe it so artistically. Quite a challenge!! But I know, I sense, I have experienced, and experience what Raja Peter so eloquently teaches: that I am it. You can find yourself (your layers) through acquiring this knowledge.” —Juliana Arias-Anderson

  “Massively transformational… but extremely crunchy. I was particularly quickened by my deepening understanding of the ‘flowing of creative Intelligence’… from silence to dynamism — collapsing into and out from a point that can only know itself.” —David Plaine

  “Once I learned how to take this course (by easily listening to it and enjoying it, whether I understood it or not), I gained much more from it. I was working too hard to obtain intellectual understanding. This course is associated with experiences similar to those I have had on rounding courses (IAA and in West Virginia with Purusha). I am very grateful for the opportunity to participate in the course, since it has deepened my experiences of transcendence in activity. It seems that Total Knowledge is more experiential than I imagined! This course is the most positive aspect of my life the past 4-5 months! Thank You!!!” —Jeffrey Anderson

  “The knowledge which was given by Raja Peter gave me a whole picture. And I see that all the details of the topic Total Knowledge were put together in a much more complete and holistic picture, so that I feel it more lively inside my self, and more and more I am aware that’s me.” —Achim Parchow

  “I remember as a child receiving a copy of the New Testament one Christmas and then struggling to understand John 1:1. My mother’s explanation as to what/who the ‘Word’ was, was not satisfactory. This course provides the answer.” —EVZ

  “This course answers many questions about the mechanics of manifestation and, in doing so, lights the way to ever-expanding awareness of Unity Consciousness. Priceless experiences of equanimity abound in this safe and supportive learning environment.” —Marilyn Crawford

  “Who is concerned where the darkness goes when the light is turned on? The further we go, the more and more the journey becomes brighter and brighter!” —Anon

  “This course answers the essential question of life: who am I? It enables you to know yourself at the level that is eternal, absolute, whole, and complete.” —Heathere Evans

  “Delving deeper and deeper into the layers of ATMA (the field of Total Knowledge) as given to us by Maharishi.” —Anon

  “Well worth while, of great value to my understanding of life. I mostly value Raja Peter’s teaching and also Maharishi’s lectures.” —Anon

  “This course is an enlightening journey that reveals deeper meanings to the reality of life and its meaning. I am very happy with the course. Dr. Warburton is very patient and explains in a manner that one can catch the meaning in a variety of ways. I appreciate his teaching style. Thank you.” —DE

  “The essence of this Part Three was the understanding of the characteristics of the Gap and how all matter emerges. It is the whole story of how consciousness is transformed into matter — how consciousness is physiology and physiology is consciousness. So beautiful and enlightening. All the questions regarding existence and who we are, where we are, and why we are — get answered!” —David A. Ponder

  “This course has really saved me during this Pandemic. It would have saved me even if there was no Pandemic! It is mind- and body-changing, in that mind and body develop to their fullest capabilities and awareness through the intellectual understanding and study of Transcendental Consciousness. I really love these courses so much and am so happy I am taking all four parts. It inspires me to keep learning and studying and taking more and more online courses through MIU, because putting one’s attention on Pure Knowledge is so very fulfilling and blissful. I would keep taking this course even if there were 10 parts to it! Thank you.” —Susan Petersen

  “This has been a very powerful course for me both in terms of gaining intellectual knowledge and realizing increased positive lifestyle changes. For instance, I am more organized in my daily activities. I have also noticed that I am more stable emotionally and not as overshadowed by my environment. Exciting changes!” —CL

  “Very deep knowledge. The course is designed by Maharishi himself, who is expert in Vedic Science.” —Harry Appadoo

  “From all the parts, Part 3 was great. It was a great connector to all the other parts. And the knowledge is integrating and accepting into my mind and body.” —Sameer (Sam) Syed

  “This course is the most important knowledge available to any sophisticated ‘neurophysiology’ that wants to understand its own nature, how it is a Knower, is also the process of knowing, as well as that which is known. I don’t know if there is a way to improve the course.” —Frederick P. Blume, Jr.

  “The product of this course is tremendous joy. In Part 3 we delved into a chart that unfolds transcendental emergence of Veda, the light of God. While a chart may seem a dry thing, the flavor of the course is the light of God and love. The chart Maharishi developed with his team is magnificent. He wanted to be sure to leave us the whole of his knowledge. I can’t wait for Part 4 of the course sequence. Those who were puzzled by the abstract material in the first part of the series now feel that the penny has dropped and they get it. That’s how effective this course experience is.” —Anne Martha Melfi

  “I would say it basically takes some of the scientific discoveries about our reality through Quantum Physics and expands it to explain consciousness and the origins of the universe. It’s not teaching the TM technique, but it’s giving the underlying process that leads you to higher states of consciousness.” —Cary Cox

  “This course will give you a better understanding of what is Veda and what the Vedic literature represents in regards to Creation.” —Daniel Teixeira Eloi Santos

  “I feel as though I am settling into the transcendent as the course proceeds. I have a feeling of profound growth.” —Ann Rappaport

  “In this portion of Total Knowledge, Maharishi unfolds the mechanics of Atma – the ‘lamp at the door’, as a living expression of Brahman, where one’s awareness when reaching and ‘gathering up’ the Light of God, from the home of all the Laws of Nature, will have the total support of Natural Law, free from mistakes, where every action is administered from the Constitution of the Universe.” —BH

  “A must, if you would like to have deep insights into total knowledge. Great teacher and so inspiring, with lots of personal stories included.” —YL

  “This course is perfectly enjoyable. Although I am viewing the sessions after the fact, so to speak, I still feel the connection.” —Andrew Towne

  “It such a wonderful course. I don’t understand some of the teachings, but have been put at ease by Raja Peter to just keep going, and in time the understanding and feeling will come to the heart.” —Julie Hammond

  “If you really want to gain the intellectual understanding of who you are and what is your relationship to the universe, then you should take this course.” —TGH

  “This is a great course to enhance Transcendental Meditation and the Siddhi Programme, because they naturally support one another — deepening both experience and knowledge through this mutual support.” —RK

  “I don’t know, but Raja Peter is amazing, so I will just take the course when it’s offered again. I should probably rate it a 5 instead of a 4, but I’m giving it a 4 because of my lack of understanding.” —Anon

  “In order to explain this course to a friend, I would say that to fully understand the Knowledge that Maharishi has been passing on to us for decades, this is The Course to Take. It provides us with a basic framework for understanding what Maharishi is talking about when he explains the manifestation of creation, the Veda.” —Manon Asselin

  “Transcendental Consciousness, which seems to be dark, empty, and absolute infinite nothingness is a dynamic Unified Field of All the Laws of Nature, full of endless possibilities.” —AH

  “Fascinating and immersive.” —Thomas Tupper

  “Maharishi’s perspective of the nature and reality of Veda and the process of creation.” —CT

  “This course is hard to describe, but worthwhile.” —JK
