TM Essentials: Discover Your Full Potential
2024-07-24 18:45 - 20:30 (America/Vancouver) | Vancouver TM Centre, 328 West 8th Avenue, Vancouver, BC, V5Y 3X2, Canada
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.
However, that’s not the end of the story. Maharishi has delineated the knowledge of the progression of enlightenment into seven states of consciousness.
In 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.

Emotions & Intellect
2024-07-28 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Ashia Freedeen and moderator Nuard Israelyan.
In this video recorded in 1971 on a TM Teacher Training course in Mallorca, Spain with 2,000 participants, Maharishi speaks about the intimate relationship of emotions and intellect.
Maharishi explains that:
« Intellectual thought means decisive thought, and in decisions emotions are deeply involved. When you decide, it’s the force of decision that takes in emotion very deeply. Decision is never free from the grip of emotion; decision is guided by emotion. Apparently, it may appear that they are guided by logic, but logic is always in favour of emotions. »
Begins with a 20-minute group TM.

Les émotions et l'intellect
2024-07-28 19:30 - 21:00 (America/Toronto) | En ligne
Avec le professeur de MT Roger Périgny
Dans cette vidéo enregistrée en 1971 lors d’un cours de formation des professeurs de MT à Majorque, en Espagne, avec 2 000 participants, Maharishi parle de la relation intime entre les émotions et l’intellect.
Maharishi explique que :
« La pensée intellectuelle est synonyme de pensée décisive, et dans les décisions, les émotions sont profondément impliquées. La force de la décision, lorsqu’elle est prise, implique l’émotion de manière très profonde. La décision n’échappe jamais à l’emprise de l’émotion; la décision est guidée par l’émotion. En apparence, elle peut sembler guidée par la logique, mais la logique est toujours au service de l’émotion. »
Nous commençons par une méditation de groupe de 20 minutes.

The Neuroscience of Enlightenment: How the Experience of Transcending Cultures the Brain to Maintain Deep Inner Calm
2024-08-11 13:00 - 14:30 (America/Toronto) | Online
With TM Teacher Andy Guest.
In enlightenment, how can the nervous system maintain the experience of unbounded, non-changing inner Being even as the body is involved in focused activity or immersed in the inertia of deep sleep?
In this presentation, Fred Travis, Ph.D., looks at brain networks during the Transcendental Meditation technique, as well as during sleeping and waking. He examines how these networks can be integrated through TM practice, providing scientific support for Maharishi’s statement in his commentary on the Bhagavad Gita: “The gradual and systematic culture of the physical nervous system creates a physiological situation in which the two states of consciousness exist together simultaneously.”
