Course Description

The first of these two basic Total Knowledge charts reveals intellectually that the “Field of Total Knowledge” at the center of the chart is at the basis of all streams of knowledge and action. The second chart is a map of direct experience. It shows that once the “Field of Total Knowledge” is fully known and appreciated as my own Self – the level of the Atma or Aham – spontaneously one starts to discover that all levels of creation are nothing but the expression of Aham, my own field of ‘amness’ or consciousness.

In the basic courses on Total Knowledge, Maharishi takes us on a journey from the top of the first chart downwards, and then on down through the second chart. In Maharishi’s words, we discover that, “Creativity is where silence works. … Silence becomes dynamism – it is a very great thing; this is the art of action.”

Through the combination of understanding and experience, Maharishi said, “You will have Total Knowledge and then you will see what a wonderful position you have. Your position is on that point which opens inside, which opens outside. … Just like the lamp at the door.”

This is the profound journey that Maharishi took us on during the Total Knowledge courses. In addition, Maharishi laid out the implications of the reverse journey, and that will be the content of this new course:

  • How the realization of everything as Aham, my own Self, transforms dramatically every area of life and living.
  • What will happen to us as Total Knowledge dawns in every area of life?
  • How will our personal relationships change, our health, our work, the world around us, government, international relations, climate, the ecosystem of our whole planet, and our connection to the wider universe?

Maharishi said that Natural Law rising towards Sat-yuga, the Age of Enlightenment, will be reflected in changes in every single aspect of life of all the species on this planet.

Maharishi spelled out the nature of these changes in great detail. It will be our joy during this new course to take this journey with Maharishi and see a picture of the reality as higher consciousness dawns individually and collectively in the world.

“Total knowledge is in a point of knowledge. It is just that point like the star. From the point in all directions, it radiates – in all directions, unlimited range of authority.” – Maharishi
