Truly there is in this world nothing so purifying as knowledge; he who is perfected in Yoga, of himself, in time, finds this within himself.

How is it relevant to me and my life?
Especially for all TM Meditators and Sidhas.
VEDA declares Ultimate Reality to be aṇor aṇīyān mahato mahīyān – smaller than the smaller, greater than the greatest. From point to infinity, perfect silence to infinite dynamism, everything in between and everything simultaneously – this is the majestic realm of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge.
All very well, you may say, but what does this have to do with me and my life, with its successes and failures, its joys and sorrows, and its pleasures and pain? What relevance does it have for my career, for my relationships, or for my financial situation? Will it show me my path in life, lead me to my soulmate, and help me pay my bills?
In this unique course, Dr Warburton will explain the fundamental principles of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge but from a fresh and very personal perspective – to examine precisely how the highest truths expounded by Maharishi have their practical application in even the smallest details of our lives, drawing the support of the infinite organising power of Nature into every nook and cranny, and leading ultimately to higher states of consciousness and enlightenment.
What does this all even mean? Join us to explore some of the answers together.

Published by Maharishi in 1963, “The Science of Being and Art of Living” is the summation of both the practical wisdom of integrated life advanced by the Vedic Rishis of ancient India and the growth of scientific thinking in the present-day western world.
“It presents a philosophy of life in fulfilment and brings forth a practice suitable for all men everywhere in the world to glorify all aspects of their day-to-day life. It deals with the fundamentals of all problems of life and suggests one sure cure to eradicate all sufferings.”
“This book presents a practical thesis of integrated life which has long been the abstract goal of the various sciences, religions, and metaphysical thought groups. This thesis will enable all men to harmonise their inner spiritual content with the glories of the outer material life and find their God within themselves.” [1]
In this course, Dr Morris shows how, in the Science of Being and Art of Living, Maharishi presents the Science of Being as the systematic investigation into the ultimate reality of the universe. Like other sciences, it begins its investigation from the gross, obvious level of life, then delving more deeply into the subtle levels of the experience of Nature, ultimately transcending the subtle regions, and reaching the transcendental field of eternal Being.
The Science of Being, applied to our lives through the technique of Transcendental Meditation, provides us with the Art of Living – thinking, speaking, acting, and behaving, well established at the level of pure Being. Experiencing pure Being twice daily through Transcendental Meditation, any individual in any nation can rise to enjoy higher states of consciousness, in which human life becomes filled with peace and joy, is vibrant with the infinite creative intelligence of being, and enjoys the support of the almighty power of Nature, the infinite organising power of Natural Law.

“Learning TM over six years ago was a game changer for me. After years of battling stress, anxiety and adrenal fatigue, practicing TM got my health back on track. I noticed that I started to think more clearly and that my confidence and creativity steadily increased.
After I experienced such powerful transformation, it was a natural progression to train as a TM teacher to share this technique with as many people as possible! Now after serving my local community for several years I can say this is far and away the most enjoyable teaching role I’ve ever had. It’s an absolute joy to teach a technique that allows people to continue to grow and flourish under any circumstances. TM really does meet you where you are at, and take you where you want to go! Whether that’s improved health, clarity, confidence or establishing inner peace, all of this available, plus so much more when we take the step to learn TM.”

I am a Soft Furnishing and Interior Designer (IDI) and started my own business and ran it successfully for 20 years. It gave me such a wealth of experience dealing with the public which also prompted me to take a Social Psychology Diploma Course.

I learned to look at life differently, still do and still learning. The natural progression for me 10 years ago was to become a TM teacher (MVI) and help to pass on this profound Knowledge for our overall health.
My inspiration always being Maharishi. I opened the first TM Centre in Jersey 9 years ago and it has been successful and a joy to run, teaching many hundreds of people in our community in Jersey and Guernsey with my ongoing focus to teach as many people as possible to grow coherence on our beautiful Island.

Dr Peter Warburton and Dr Tom Egenes illuminates Maharishi’s precious insights into the Bhagavad-Gita on the perfect ground of his Total Knowledge, with the invaluable support of archival and contemporary treasures from Dr Vernon Katz.
ARCHIVE TREASURE
Dr Peter WarburtonDr Vernon KatzDr Tom Egenes
Dr Warburton and Dr Egenes reveal the wisdom of the Upanishads on the ground of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge, which embodies the full knowledge of Brahm, the full knowledge of Absolute and relative, and the connection between the two, as is expressed so completely in the Upanishads.
ARCHIVE TREASURE
Dr Peter WarburtonDr Vernon Katz
Maharishi explains that, as one goes inward, then freedom comes. Freedom reaches its climax when Eureka – Unity – is declared. The Brahma Sutra is needed in order to understand the comprehensive meaning contained in the Upanishads, and the reading of the Upanishads is needed in order to get some understanding of the whereabouts of Unity.

Dr Morris reveals the essential expressions from Veda and the Vedic literature used by Maharishi in his Vedic Science to elucidate and crystallise our experiences in the rise to higher states of consciousness.

Dr Bevan Morris
Vedānt means the end or culmination, anta, of all knowledge, Veda. Maharishi revealed that Vedānt becomes a practical living reality in the state of Unity Consciousness, Brahmi Chetana. This state is revealed by the famous Upanishadic sayings – mahavakyas – such as Aham Brahmasmi, I Am the Totality.

Celebrating the way Maharishi changed the destiny of the whole world with the offerings of his knowledge and technologies of consciousness.
“Dr. Nader offers ideas that can change the world. He gives profound solutions to questions that have long fascinated and intrigued philosophers and scientists alike, covering fields as diverse as the purpose of life, good and evil, what is consciousness, do we have freedom? Is there law and order or chaos in the universe? How to mend differences between the atheist and the believer, determinism and choice? How to make the best out of one’s life, fulfill one’s desires, and create peace and harmony among peoples and nations? He offers these solutions based on one simple underlying paradigm that unifies mind, body, and the environment in one ocean of pure being, pure consciousness.” – David Lynch from his Prologue to Dr Nader's recently published "One Unbounded Ocean of Consciousness".
“The presentation by Dr Warburton was brilliant – such clear explanation of what could be a very, very complex subject. I realise Maharishi structured the course but Dr Warburton conveyed the content so very well. The online course seemed every bit as powerful as the earlier live Total Knowledge courses I have done and being able to look at sessions again on 'catch-up' really helped.” — Course Participant
“Dr Bevan’s lifetime of devotion to Maharishi pours out of every story and description he provides. He brings to life the unfathomable depth of Maharishi’s vision in a way that feels fresh and intimate to my own level of understanding, whilst always pointing to deeper levels ahead.” — Course Participant
“Dr Warburton ran the course brilliantly, always making everyone feel so comfortable and at home, and, at the same time, presenting the knowledge in a more focussed and clear way than ever… The balance of knowledge and stories etc. was perfect, and it was such a delightful experience for everyone. Dr Warburton made every course participant’s contribution valuable and acceptable, however unusual! The course really fulfilled the whole range of course participants, from new Meditators to old timers.” — Course Participant
“Life-changing! The knowledge from this course is invaluable. I would leave the lectures a changed person - meaning transformed in my new evolution. The new way of thinking about myself has uplifted me to my absolute status that has been hidden and now revealed - in minutes!” — Course Participant
