Course Description
Once again led for us by Dr. Peter Warburton in his inimitable style, the course includes charts developed with Maharishi, special recordings of Maharishi, exercises and discussions via Zoom, as well as fascinating stories of a lifetime of experience working closely with Maharishi.
Shortly before he left this world, Maharishi completed his comprehensive exposition of Total Knowledge. Part Four of this series comprises the essence of these talks – Maharishi’s gift of supreme knowledge to the world.
In Part Four, Dr Warburton shows how all the different elements of Maharishi’s Total Knowledge – understood through Parts One, Two, and Three of this course – fit together in one unified wholeness. Here, Maharishi analyzes the fixed and flowing values of Total Knowledge – in terms of number and language – before returning once again to relate these to the development of higher states of consciousness. Finally, Maharishi reveals the ultimate reality of “Administration in Silence” – life in Unity Consciousness, Brahmi Chetana.
This four-part series on Maharishi’s Total Knowledge provides the fundamental building blocks on the basis of which the course participant naturally grows in the ability to see the whole of life in the context of Total Knowledge. As inner experience grows, this knowledge reveals itself in ever-expanding waves, until ultimately “Administration in Silence”, Brahmi Chetana, becomes a practical living reality.
“That is the Unified Field, and Raja Peter has expressed that – is going to express more and more of the delicate union between the two values, silence and dynamism.”
– Maharishi

“I loved all four parts of this course, each class building on the previous. It’s different from anything I’ve ever studied—abstract concepts that seem impossible, but at the same time make sense.

“This course gives full meaning to existence, consciousness, and life by bringing out how infinite silence contains a fabric which unfolds in predictable and orderly dynamism.

Raja Peter Warburton is a master teacher bringing just the right balance of head and heart to make plain what past intellectuals and scholars have muddied.” —Ron White
“This, like the other three courses in this series, is the gift that keeps on giving. Learning about total knowledge and the ancient wisdom of Vedic sounds, vibrational frequencies, transformational gaps of silence, and alphabet/language stimulates so many new concepts and emotions and experiences of Unity Consciousness that the learning continues even after the classes, as we become more aware of the flow of well-being streaming from that wisdom.
“Great, amazing teachers and MIU associates involved in making this course such a beautiful learning experience are evidenced by the quality of the content, the high level of interactivity with participants, and the safe and nurturing learning environment that is created.” —MC
“Maharishi’s Total Knowledge encompasses his entire teaching and puts every aspect into perspective from the point of view of Brahm or Totality. Total Knowledge describes systematically, step by step, how the silence and dynamism of consciousness simultaneously appear as material creation, both together as one Wholeness. Total Knowledge, being both the pinnacle and foundation of Maharishi’s knowledge, makes it very blissful and intellectually satisfying to study.” —Susi Halley

“Congratulations to Raja Peter for holding such a course. He is totally permeated by Maharishi’s teachings.” —CM

“This course on Total Knowledge and Higher States of Consciousness, all four parts so far, is the most positive and easy way to learn the details of Maharishi’s elaboration of knowledge. It is extremely fulfilling on many levels of the heart and mind, and it must be awakening the intellect in a way it has not been done before — because a very satisfying quality of liveliness and bliss seems to be the result. The sheer love and patient attention to the students from the professor is a sweet thrill. The stories are such delightful gifts! Maharishi knew what he was giving us when he appointed Raja Peter to teach these courses.” —VM
