Know the knower, develop higher consciousness—the fundamental point of Maharishi's Vedic Education

Dr Bevan Morris, Prime Minister of the Global Country of World Peace and President of Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment and Maharishi University of Management, explains the influence of Maharishi’s Vedic Education for total brain development and improved academic performance of students everywhere.

In a recent Global News Conference, Dr Morris answered a question from the press about what will be the impact of Maharishi’s Vedic Education. The reporter commented that, in spite of a new $57 billion federal budget for the US Education Department, critics say there is nothing new or innovative to boost academic performance and floundering academic test scores.

Dr Morris answered that under the leadership of Dr David Lynch and the David Lynch Foundation, there is a powerful new wave of knowledge being presented to schools in the US. By simply adding Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying to the students’ routine every day, the nature of the educational achievement and the experience of the students will be completely transformed.

We currently have a system of education that is based on fragmented knowledge—parts of knowledge, Dr Morris said, and ‘Learning only parts of knowledge in the different disciplines only enlivens parts of the brain, and never the whole brain.’

Even after 12 or 16 years of education, nothing students have been taught gives them the experience of the holistic development of their brain.

‘The only experience which develops the holistic functioning of the human brain,’ Dr Morris continued, ‘is the experience of that which is not fragmented, but which is whole. And that is consciousness—in its holistic, unified, transcendental state.

‘This is the fundamental state of consciousness—the experience where the individual mind is identified with the universal reality of the Unified Field of consciousness itself,’ Dr Morris said.

This holistic experience during Transcendental Meditation has been clearly demonstrated by scientific research to awaken the holistic functioning of the brain in a way that nothing else does. ‘When the brain begins to function holistically, in a highly coherent and synchronous way, then the correlations are there for every aspect of the performance of the student, because everything is dependent on his brain,’ Dr Morris explained.

'The creativity and intelligence increases; the physiological performance, the reaction time, the reflexes of the body improve. Academic performance increases; and there are remarkable developments in the personality, self-actualization, and higher moral development that are almost never seen in the population generally,' Dr Morris said.

‘If we develop the total brain, everything is going to develop—and it does,’ he said. More than 600 scientific research studies from over 250 research institutions in 35 countries are there that measure this development. The evidence is there in seven volumes of scientific research papers.

‘Educators are always saying, “Let’s find out what is the latest scientific development in the field of education, what works the best in the classroom,”' Dr Morris said, ‘resulting in a fad for this and a fad for that.’

‘Why don’t they use the most powerful, scientifically-proven system of education of the total brain?’ Dr Morris asked.

Dr Morris said that many educators are now introducing Maharishi Consciousness-Based Education in their schools. ‘They do not care what ignorance has gone before, they’re going to apply the thing that works the best—and that is indisputably Consciousness-Based Education.’

‘Any educator only has to walk into a classroom using this system of education, and they know in five minutes that this is the best education,’ Dr Morris said. This fundamental point is ‘going to spread like wildfire—both throughout the United States, and to every school in the world’.

‘Know the knower, develop the total brain and higher consciousness; gain the support of the intelligence that is the administrator of the universe to fulfil any desire of the student. This is the certain future of education everywhere on earth, and this is Maharishi’s gift to the field of education,’ Dr Morris concluded.
