From a renowned Vedic scholar, leader of the Maharishi Foundations, and Harvard-trained neuroscientist- this book answers fundamental existential questions with practical benefits for enlightenment, peace, and fulfillment. "In this landmark book, Dr. Tony Nader presents ideas that can change the world. He proposes profound solutions to questions that have long fascinated and intrigued philosophers and scientists. What is Consciousness, do we have freedom? How to get the best out of life, fulfill wishes and create peace and harmony among peoples and nations? He offers these solutions, based on a simple underlying paradigm, that unifies mind, body, and environment into an ocean of pure Being, Pure Consciousness. A must read for any seeker of answers to the mysteries of life, the absolute and ultimate truth." - David Lynch Is there some hidden purpose in life, a secret design, a meaningful logic, a goal to be achieved? Where do we come from and where do we go after we leave? Why should we be fighting? Can we choose? Are we free or slaves of destiny, of the laws of nature or of God? As sentient beings who wish to take control of our lives, we end up making assumptions about these fundamental questions or strongly subscribing to beliefs about them. Those convictions become our underlying "cosmovision" that influences everything we do. Dr. Tony Nader originally turned to the study of medicine, psychiatry, and neurology to try to understand why, despite being so similar, we can be so different in our opinions, mentality, and points of view. But the answers to his fundamental questions were too complex and abstract for scientific investigation. It was Transcendental Meditation that allowed him to explore them through direct experience, rather than analysis and deduction. This book is dedicated to all seekers of knowledge, scientists, philosophers, teachers, wise leaders, and guides who investigate the secrets of how nature works and who seek to improve life on Earth.
