Dr Hagelin: Maharishi, if time allows, there are a few more very beautiful questions of knowledge and practice. This question, Maharishi, is a very beautiful question based upon Maharishi's comment of two weeks ago: Two weeks ago, in Maharishi's answer about how Yogic Flying creates bliss, Maharishi described the experience of a man living in freedom, beyond boundaries. Maharishi said, "One sees far beyond what the eyes can see; one hears far beyond what the ears can hear. One goes beyond boundaries; one goes into freedom." Would Maharishi please elaborate on this beautiful description of freedom and explain the mechanics by which one can perceive beyond the organs of perception? How can one see beyond the eyes?
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: There is a word “think”, there is the word “imagine”. In imagination one can imagine anything, see far beyond, and there are techniques on the way to total enlightenment. This is the technique of we call it the “Siddhi programs” where one goes from thinking level, to finer levels of thought, finer levels of thought, and goes to the source of thought, and one goes at the basis of thought, to the source of thought, and there is the unmanifest field of intelligence, and the unmanifest field of intelligence, you can have a concept of it, you can conceive, is the Unified Field, where all the diversity stands in a unified state, and there is the field of all possibilities. There is freedom from bondage, there is no space-time boundaries, that's why it is called transcendental field of the Self referral consciousness, and Dr. Hagelin calls it “unified field”. This unified field is an experience, it's an experience which means it's a reality.
To the source of thought, and one goes at the basis of thought, to the source of thought, and there is the unmanifest field of intelligence, and the unmanifest field of intelligence, you can have a concept of it, you can conceive, is the Unified Field, where all the diversity stands in a unified state, and there is the field of all possibilities. There is freedom from bondage, there is no space-time boundaries, that's why it is called transcendental field of the Self referral consciousness, and Dr. Hagelin calls it “unified field”. This unified field is an experience, it's an experience which means it's a reality
And in that reality one sees which one doesn't see with the eyes, one years which one doesn't hear from the years, all the five senses of perception seeing and touching and tasting another and all the five organs of speech they are awake to their extreme level of simplicity, where there is nothing else but all the five senses equally awake. But there is nothing else but all the five organs of action fully awake total silence fully awake, total dynamism fully awake, so it's a field of reality. The field of reality where one can see what one cannot see with the eye, one can hear what one can't hear from the ears, this is perception in the transcendental field of consciousness. This we can experience, and this is so beautifully described authenticated by knowledge in the Rig Veda, and Sama Veda, Yajur, Atharva Veda, the whole Vedic literature, just that level of life, which is a world of transcendental consciousness, a world it's a world on its own, a very soft world, it's a very soft world, it's a world of transcendental field, it's a unified field, there is no diversity in it, but a very real world which the eyes cannot see, those eyes are the inner eye we say, the inner hearing, the inner taste, you know some call it divine seeing, some call the divine hearing, divine tasting, divine touching, it's a world on its own.
The whole Vedic literature, just that level of life, which is a world of transcendental consciousness, a world it's a world on its own, a very soft world, it's a very soft world.
The example is, you are in a dreaming state, now you see something, which you don't see from your eyes, you are sleeping and you are seeing some very beautiful garden, some very beautiful roses, beautiful trees and there is nothing, so something that is not there, you don't see with your eyes, but you can have that level of consciousness. Where a different world you can see, a different world you can hear, a different world you can touch, so it is described in the religious literature, divine in touch, divine hearing, divine tasting, divine, all the in terms of the light of God, light of God.
So it's a great loss to life when one is not trained to see beyond eyes, it's a great loss to life, when one is not trained to hear beyond ears, it's a different world.
That's why this probable easily : “your world is as you are”. In as much dreaming state you are, you have that world, you have much drowsy state you are, you have a world of that level, in as much awake you are, you have a world of that level, so the world is as one is. That is the reason it is taking such a long time. When I started from India around to go around the world I thought it would take 10-12 years and the world will be free from problems and negativity. Later on, I knew it is a different world, you say something and people hear and they nod their head and they smile at you, but you are not heard by them. So in many places, when I went there repeatedly this country that country, I ask them what made you meditate? They said, to be frank with you, when you spoke we heard, we did not know what you were speaking, when I said how did you start? They said we started thinking that you seem to be saying something nice. Not understanding, but intuitively they started and when they started they said thank you very much she was right in saying this... So you can tell the people, but what they understand can be completely different in what you are speaking. That is what is taking time to create a new world, and a new tradition and perfection of government and all that. This it's a different world, but you have to keep on saying, because we enjoy talking about it, it's for our own joy that we talk about it. But what people understand is completely not dependent on what we are speaking. It depends on what they can understand.
