Course Description
When Maharishi designed the Total Knowledge courses in 2006-2007, he defined all aspects of the courses and asked Dr. Warburton to record these private discussions. This special new course will include these and other talks by Maharishi in which he explains how, in the unmanifest transformations between the first two letters of the Veda, ‘A’ and ‘K’, we find the emergence of the entire Veda.
This course goes beyond the basic Total Knowledge courses and explores this deeper realm of knowledge. It also includes charts, exercises, stories, and all that we have come to know and appreciate in Raja Peter’s courses on Maharishi’s Total Knowledge.
These Total Knowledge courses encapsulate, in the most lively, illustrated manner, the profound structure and fabrics of the unmanifest and its relationship to all its manifestations. Maharishi explained that the Total Knowledge courses expound Brahmavidya — knowledge of totality. “This is developing in the expression of the exposition of Total Knowledge through these graphs, through these charts, by Dr. Warburton,” Maharishi said in his historic talk on Raja Peter’s birthday in July 2007. “And he is yet to express — what is further going to come out of him — is Brahm … Total Knowledge in action, that is centered in ‘A,’ the first syllable of the Veda, which is the flow of Atma, the flow of the Self. Everything is there in the Atma.”

Reviews
“Imagine sitting at the feet of Maharishi during his final years as he describes the process of creation, with a trusted Raja at your side to provide further elaboration. This is the experience during this course. Absolutely extraordinary!” —NK
“This is an incredible course for gaining intellectual knowledge and experiential evolutionary progress. It is a joy to learn Supreme Knowledge with Raja Peter at the helm. The knowledge presented is in a simple, organized, sequential format with time for Q & A. The Tapes of Maharishi with Raja Peter provide an amazing front row opportunity to view the fine tuning of this extraordinary knowledge. I experienced what it was like to be in the room with the Master as he prepared Total Knowledge courses for the world! I am totally GRATEFUL!” —CL
“An explanation of how knowledge, and all there is, manifests from the underlying field of unity or consciousness” —DL
“This is such deep and profound knowledge, it will really bring some fulfillment to everyone no matter what their level of experience is.” —FL

“These Total Knowledge courses are actually advanced techniques for higher states. Not only is the intellectual knowledge blissful to absorb but it enlivens itself in the brain physiology and allows for deeper experience. The content isn’t available anywhere else and is comprised of Maharishi’s final and most advanced teachings. Raja Peter and crew are an absolute joy and the fellow students brilliant.” —SH

“A look under the hood of creation to see and experience the inner workings of nature without leaving ‘home’. “ —KA
“Maharshi structured Total Knowledge Courses in which He revealed in detail the mechanisms and transformations in the realm of Total Knowledge, the Veda, and passed this knowledge on to Raja Peter. With this Knowledge Course, accompanied by Raja Peter’s brilliant and competent guidance, we embark on a journey into Maharishi’s incredible cognition and exploration of the age-old question of the origin of matter.” —HS
“It was a very systematic complete description on the flow of Atma from infinity to its point of consciousness to its point of matter. Raja Peter was very patient and repeated the concepts so participants could comprehend the material easily. Maharishi often used repetition in his teachings. And Raja Peter followed that approach perfectly. —PC
“The original Total Knowledge Course gave us the diamond. This course as part of Total Knowledge 2 magnifies the facets to deepen the beauty and understanding of the whole. As always, Raja Peter along with Mary and Paul have put together a well run and artfully curated presentation that gives us Maharshi’s words and close review.” —KA
“If you have a deep inner urge to know the truth of how this material/physical universe originated, what is its source and the actual mechanics of emergence of Veda, the blueprint of creation, this course will give you substantial answers. “ —IM

“I feel I participate in bringing forth knowledge to a more accessible, surface level for our world collective consciousness. I feel I am more deeply settling into who I am within.

“Maharishi is describing the finest fabric of consciousness by describing what happens between the first syllable of Rig Veda in layers and details.” —LM

I feel a deep impact from taking the course, but it is subtle, hard to put into words.” —SM
“We gain deeper experience and understanding of how to live in accordance with natural law. Knowledge has organizing power.” —CM
“In this course you will learn how pure Consciousness has an unmanifest structure, and how in great detail it unfolds and emerges in sequential steps to become the Veda, the mind and body, and ultimately the universe. A truly magnificent course.” —DJ
“I had the pleasure of explaining this course to my daughter, who is also a meditator. I told her that we are studying the mechanics of creation. I described the verse in the Bible that says that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. In the Vedic terminology this word is “A” and with each sound is a corresponding form. I told her that we are learning the mechanics of the transformation of that non-changing “A” into all of creation.” —GK
“It is on a very, very high intellectual level, I understood more through the heart than by the mind. It was an overall experience of bliss with glimpses of understanding.” —Anon
“If you want to go to the core of things, this is the course to take.” —Anon
“I want to say “mind-blowing” but it is more like a gentle smooth flowing expansion of awareness that happens. It’s like you become the knowledge. You feel as if you are “A” itself unfolding Itself to Itself in all its expressions, in blissful dancing spirals of convergence and emergence. It’s out of this world. You will enjoy it, absolutely.” —AW
“Worldview changing.” —JS

“Wonderful, easy, natural, and fulfilling!” —DD
“Great course for deepening the total knowledge of Veda about consciousness flow, life emerging, enlivening memory from the finest level of our Being. Very Inspirational. Amazing. Brilliant. Not completely understandable by intellect or literally, but recognizing deep feeling of something that we have already experienced. Recognizing something that we are all in, revealing level by level our true nature.” —DZ
“As always–I say that it is a rasayana, and essential to sanity in these insane times.” —SV
“Layers of the Veda” —GS

“These Total Knowledge courses just get better and better as they progress. This was the best course yet in the series. It was positively thrilling! It really reveals the inner world at the basis of Everything in Creation. Take the beginning courses first so that you can properly understand and appreciate this one. I can’t explain how incredibly wonderful this knowledge is!” —VM
“Amazing continuation of the in-depth study of Total Knowledge, both intellectually and experientialy.” —MA
“Hold on to your hat! It’s careful study of deep cosmology, I guess you could say, cosmology meaning consciousness, the source of consciousness. But it’s like transcending a lot: dive deep, and then comes the expansion, and then the relative, and then the deep dive to the very meeting point of soul and flesh, and know that meeting point for what it is and does. Far from being dry and cerebral, this is the most viscerally engaging study ever. It’s such a real-life thrill to have the deep deep secrets bared, step by step by Maharishi and the amazing, engaging Raja Peter.” —CB
“Intellectually fascinating but I wonder if the course has practical applications.” —JR
