Harris Kaplan, a native of Westmount, near Montréal (and cousin to Leonard Cohen), has led a life of dedicated service. He and his wife, Arlene, served as directors of the Montréal TM Centre and were pioneering figures at Canada's first in-residence TM facility, Académie Château Lac-Beauport. After teaching TM full-time, Harris transitioned to the financial sector, where he had a successful career as a fund manager.

There is a saying, "Join the Navy and See the World," which often applies to TM teachers! In 1973, Rig Gelfand began working with Maharishi in Seelisberg, Switzerland — the former international headquarters of the Transcendental Meditation Organization. Since then, he has assumed innumerable roles in Europe, North America, and Asia.

The Consciousness Advisor Programme provides tools to support the practice of TM, helping individuals cultivate better habits, including regular exercise and healthy eating. Making such lifestyle changes is often a struggle because of subconscious barriers such as emotional triggers, limiting beliefs, self-sabotage, or lack of self-confidence. These underlying obstacles often lead to the reemergence of old patterns.

Mark McCooey exemplifies the ideal of a well-rounded individual: he is an athletic intellectual, successful business owner, compassionate philanthropist, and much-loved leader within the Canadian and International TM organizations.

In this exquisite lecture from 1968 in Lake Louise, Canada, Maharishi offers an enlightening survey of the precise, sequential changes experienced as consciousness grows, culminating in Supreme Knowledge.
