Opis

There is nothing in this book that one must do. No advice is given and there are no rules to follow. Where certain actions would ordinarily be advised for self-improvement, the emphasis is on how the human organism heals itself through self-awareness. This awareness is both on the level of ordinary day-to-day consciousness-where we are aware of our shortcomings- and ultimately on the level of Absolute Pure Consciousness, the source and healer of all things. Nature knows how to heal the organism it created, and the ability of self-knowledge it placed within us is the activating factor. This is the simple ability we all have to see and know. I give you what I have learned from Maharishi only to help you see. For from seeing develops knowing and-at the level of Pure Consciousness-knowing accomplishes everything. John C. Hornburg has been an educator and writer most of his adult life and considers himself a teacher through his writing. In the 1970s he wrote two book-length manuscripts on Maharishi's teachings: The Absolute Theory of Golf and Transcendental Christianity. In the 1980s, after several years of teaching Maharishi Transcendental Meditation he presented a self-written series of 28 half-hour lectures on Prescott (Arizona) Public Access Television entitled Consciousness: The Final Frontier. During this period he also wrote and taught several non-credit courses at Yavapai Community College in Prescott, including The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and Understanding Stress: Just Say Know. Also at this time he published two articles in Fellowship in Prayer magazine: The Non-Specific Basis of Ideal Prayer and Resolving Christian Paradox. He served in the U.S. Peace Corps as a secondary school teacher in Ethiopia and Malawi from 1964 to 1966. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Government from the University of Texas (1964) and a Master's in the Science of Creative Intelligence from Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, 2000.
