The Super Mind is a state of expanded consciousness that can be achieved through many different methods. It is a natural state of the brain, reported by people from many cultures throughout recorded time. For now, however, let’s address an obvious question: why recommend Transcendental Meditation.

#10

The Super Mind is a state of consciousness in which you live up to your potential. It is not the end stage of a process, but a process of continued growth in which the development of consciousness evolves together with increasing success and well-being.

#11

#12

In part 1, I will explain the new science of consciousness, which has transformed what used to be philosophical conjectures into measurable phenomena. I will then introduce you to the technique that is, in my opinion, the surest way to expand consciousness: Transcendental Meditation.

#13

consciousness can develop in several ways, not all of them
