Trancendental Meditation (TM)
Created | Updated Jan 28, 2002
How does Cosmic Consciousness sound to you?
At first it sounded like a dream of a delirious Zen-Buddhist to me, but actually its something attainable to everyone.
Cosmic Consciousness is one of the seven states of consciousness that a person can live in. The seven states are as follows:
1: Deep sleep
2: Sleep with dreams
3: Awake Consciousness
4: Pure Consciousness
5: Cosmic Consciousness
6: God Consciousness
7: Consciousness of Unity
Most people in todays world only experience the first three states, wich is a shame since all seven is a birth-right.
Trancendental Meditation is a very effective tool to achieve a higher level of consciousness because it is a technique that works in the same way as the mind. The Nature of the mind or the Self is that it streches towards happiness and taking advantage of that knowledge that is exactly what happens during TM. That happiness combined with a calm silence and no activity is called Pure Consciousness. That is however a fragile state which only occur during meditation, but as time goes by it is slowly manifested in every-day-life. That state is Cosmic Consciousness.
Futher information about the technique can be obtained at TM-centres around the world since it must be taught by an educated teacher.
All Honour to his Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, he who rediscovered Trancendental Meditation and systematized it so it has come be accesible to us.
Jai Guru Deva
