ABOUT THE COURSE
Spiritual Development is a Maharishi Knowledge Course exploring the development of consciousness and the unfoldment of human potential.
Through seven lectures by Maharishi, the course examines spiritual development from the perspective of consciousness—including the experience of pure consciousness, wholeness, the relationship between mind, body and consciousness, creative intelligence, and the progressive development of consciousness.
The lectures were originally given by Maharishi in 1973 in Hertenstein, Lake Lucerne, Switzerland.
Presented together, these seven lectures offer a concentrated study of Maharishi’s knowledge of spiritual development and the progressive unfoldment of consciousness.
The course is intended for verified Transcendental Meditation practitioners who want to continue their study of Maharishi’s knowledge beyond the foundational instruction through which they originally learned TM.
HOW THE COURSE IS EXPERIENCED
Maharishi teaches the course through the recorded lectures. Courtney “Ketu” Thomas facilitates the live course experience.
The course contains seven recorded lectures by Maharishi totaling approximately 5 hours and 30 minutes, presented across seven live Saturday sessions.
I will host each session, orient us within the progression of the course, facilitate reflection, discussion and Q&A, and help maintain continuity in the knowledge from week to week.
My role is not to replace or reinterpret Maharishi’s teaching. It is to create a structured setting in which we can hear the knowledge as it was presented, reflect on what we are studying, bring questions into a shared learning environment, and experience the complete course together.
For many TM practitioners, Maharishi Knowledge Courses like this provide an opportunity to continue their education in Maharishi’s knowledge well beyond the foundational instruction through which they originally learned the TM technique.
