Argues that Maharishi's teaching is scientific because the field of pure intelligence it describes is validated by direct experience through the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, and that this possibility of experience demonstrates the scientific character of Vedic wisdom as a whole.
Abstract
Maharishi has always presented his teaching as a science. Our approach to it has therefore been framed from the outset in scientific terms. In Chapter One we noted that all the descriptions Maharishi gives of the field of pure intelligence are validated and made meaningful by direct experience through his Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program. It is just the possibility of this experience, we concluded, that makes Maharishi’s teaching scientific; which is, in effect, to demonstrate the scientific character of the Vedic wisdom as a whole.
