In a Global Press Conference Dr Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace and President of Maharishi University of Management, answered a parent’s questions. They asked how Maharishi’s Consciousness-Based Education will ease the concern of parents and pressure on their children to work hard and get the best grades in order to get into the best schools, colleges, and universities.

'It is very natural for any parent to want the best for their children,' Dr Morris said, 'but what Maharishi has revealed to us at this time is that the best that a child can have is to use the total brain potential with which they are born.

'The kind of education into which parents are pushing their children with ever greater intensity does not totally develop the brain,' said Dr Morris. ‘In fact it has the effect of leaving multiple "holes" in the brain, by creating a lack of any real foundation for the success of the child in their life.

‘So while seeking to create more success for their child, they are actually reducing the child’s chances,’ Dr Morris said.

‘By contrast, Consciousness-Based Education has as its principle feature the technique of transcending to experience the holistic and unified state of consciousness, Transcendental Consciousness, the child’s own Self,’ explained Dr Morris. ‘"Know thy Self"’ is fulfilled by this system of education.’

'This experience of the unified, holistic state of the consciousness of anyone is the only experience that has been found to maximize the use of the total brain. It creates highly coherent and orderly brain functioning,' said Dr Morris. 'It creates holistic brain functioning in which the whole brain begins to function together.

‘The basis of all creativity, the basis of all rising intelligence, all the ability to make the laws of nature move to support one’s desires and achieve anything is based on the use of the total brain,’ Dr Morris said.

‘So in Consciousness-Based Education every child has this joyful, sweet, soft experience first thing in the morning and then again after class, and sometimes in the middle of the day also. This is combined with an academic routine that is not stressful, it is not pressurized,’ said Dr Morris.

‘When the students study with this more awakened brain, they are able—in a much more effortless way—to absorb the knowledge. Their container of knowledge has been expanded,’ Dr Morris explained. ‘They are able to enjoy gaining knowledge, to be enthusiastic to learn, because of this awakening of their total brain—which is to say, the awakening of their creativity, their receptivity, of their intelligence, and of their simple joy of living.

'Every field of knowledge the child learns in terms of its origin in the Unified Field of Natural Law; that all knowledge is one, one grand wholeness of knowledge, Total Knowledge, and that Total knowledge is in my own Transcendental Consciousness in my own Self.

‘So the children feel at home with everything, they feel connected to everything they study.’ said Dr Morris. ‘They feel that everything is an expression of their own consciousness in its unbounded state.

‘Then they grow up to become Yogic Flyers, the advanced technique of Transcendental Meditation, which intensifies all the effects of Transcendental Meditation and gives the subjective experience of bubbling bliss,’ Dr Morris continued. ‘There are big smiles of joy and bliss in the student’s life.

'So if anyone wants success for their children, this is what they should do, Dr Morris said. This is what they should have either in an existing school; get all the children to meditate in the school your child already goes to.

'Or have a new school that is a Consciousness-Based school in your area and let the children grow up joyfully, peacefully, and with the basis for unlimited success, because when they think, they get established at this level of the transcendental field, the field of Total Knowledge—whatever they think from that level it is so powerful, they gain success, not through exhaustion and stress and strain, which take away the very joy of living, but through soft, powerful thought, thought motivated by the basic intelligence that administers the universe,’ Dr Morris said.

'That cosmic intelligence supports their thought to effortlessly gain fulfillment. They engage the managing intelligence of the universe to support them in whatever it is that they achieve effortlessly.’
