Following are excerpts from a recent essay in which Tom Ball* writes about Transcendental Meditation as a simple, natural, effortless technique for full awakening of human consciousness in the state of enlightenment.

Almost everyone who learns how to practice the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique is surprised just how simple it is. And yet, the TM technique is designed for full awakening of human potential.

Before Maharishi Mahesh Yogi introduced the Transcendental Meditation technique to the world in the 1950s, the common thinking was that it is very difficult to directly experience the Transcendent, the most deeply settled and expansive state of human consciousness—unbounded awareness—and even more difficult to attain the highest states of consciousness. . . .

To transcend means to go beyond the active level of thinking, to experience the silent field of pure awareness at the source of thought.
