SUMMARY:"Advanced Lecturers" Series: John Cowhig shares stories from his time with Maharishi
DESCRIPTION:“Advanced Lecturers” Series: Guests Speak On TM Topics\n\nJohn Cowhig’s March 16th talk about his years with Maharishi was very popular\, with many requests for more. Accordingly\, on April 27th\, John will delve more deeply into his time with Maharishi.\n\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nJohn began his lifelong adventure with TM in Vancouver\, Canada\, in 1967\, and was made a TM teacher by Maharishi in his ashram on the banks of the Ganges River in Rishikesh\, India. From 1974 to 1977\, he served as Maharishi’s personal secretary and worked with him everywhere he went.

SUMMARY:TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential
DESCRIPTION:There is more to life than waking\, sleeping\, and dreaming. As TM practitioners we have begun to experience a fourth state of consciousness known as transcendental consciousness or samadhi.\nHowever\, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into seven states of consciousness. \nIn this session\, Maharishi describes the hallmarks of these seven states of consciousness. He provides a concise explanation of how each state of consciousness has different qualitative changes in perception and sense of self.

SUMMARY:TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential
DESCRIPTION:There is more to life than waking\, sleeping\, and dreaming. As TM practitioners we have begun to experience a fourth state of consciousness known as transcendental consciousness or samadhi.\nHowever\, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into seven states of consciousness. \nIn this session\, Maharishi describes the hallmarks of these seven states of consciousness. He provides a concise explanation of how each state of consciousness has different qualitative changes in perception and sense of self.
