A successful book tour last fall by Maharishi University of Management (MUM) Executive Vice-President Craig Pearson resulted in hundreds of people learning more about higher states of consciousness—and hundreds of books being sold.
Dr. Pearson is the author of The Supreme Awakening: Experiences of Enlightenment Throughout Time — and How You Can Cultivate Them.
The book collects and explains experiences of higher states of consciousness as described in the writings of famous people in history such as Laozi, the Buddha, Plato, St. Teresa of Avila, Wordsworth, Emerson, Thoreau, Emily Dickinson, Lucy Maud Montgomery, Einstein, and many others.
Dr. Pearson's tour included venues on the East Coast, in Chicago, and in California during five separate outings totaling over three weeks. Many of the presentations were at centers that teach the Transcendental Meditation technique, while others were mainly for the general public.
"These experiences really resonated with people," Dr. Pearson said. "Many wanted to talk and share their own experiences and to understand them in light of higher states of consciousness. They had some amazing experiences that I was able to help clarify."
The presentations were well received, and many more venues requested presentations than Dr. Pearson was able to accommodate.
During each presentation Dr. Pearson would show PowerPoint slides, read experiences of enlightenment, explain these experiences, and answer questions.
"People were really inspired," Dr. Pearson said. "Some learned the Transcendental Meditation technique, and others who were already practicing it decided to learn the TM-Sidhi program."
Dr. Pearson has also offered presentations via Skype and Adobe Connect.
