"No matter what your religion is - no matter what nationality - no matter what walk of life - if you are a human being, get this book - read it - get inspired by it - and act upon it - right away!" - David Lynch, filmmaker, television director, artist, and author

Throughout history, great men and women have described exalted experiences of extraordinary wakefulness, freedom, and bliss - as different from our ordinary waking experience as waking is from dreaming. Laozi, Plato, R m , St. Teresa of Avila, Emerson, Emily Dickinson, Black Elk, Einstein - people of all times and places have described experiences that rank among the most inspiring in all of literature.

The Supreme Awakening:

explains these experiences in terms of a new, expanded framework of human development - the model of higher states of consciousness developed by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the renowned Vedic sage and scientist of consciousness

shows how anyone can systematically cultivate these experiences through the Transcendental Meditation technique - simply, naturally, and effortlessly

describes the wide-ranging benefits of cultivating enlightenment by means of the TM technique - inner peace and happiness, improved health, increased creativity and intelligence, improved productivity, and much more - with benefits for education, business, health care, the military, rehabilitation, and society as a whole

shows that the sublime experiences reported by great people across time are real, universal, understandable in terms of modern science - and now available to anyone.
