The experience I gave last Saturday, which many told me they like:
About the course "Individual is Cosmic" given by the Drs. Alarik and
Cynthia Arenander
This is the third time in a row I'm taking this course. The second
had a greater influence on me than the first, and the present one has
brought me to unprecedented heights both during the program and
activity.
Now, on the third evening Alarik gave us a clear explanation why
repeating the course has such a profound effect. He showed us how
after one day of exercising playing the piano, there is a black blot
in some part of the brain, denoting a greater number of connections
between neurons, which together with coherence means, to my best
knowledge, a more efficient brain functioning. On the second day of
playing the piano the black blot grew bigger, and so forth on the
third, forth and fifth day. On the fifth it, actually, was at least
10 times as large as on the first day. The experiment was repeated,
but this time with the piano played only in the mind - and the
results were almost the same.
So this is what repeating this course does to our brains - with one
difference: instead of doing it to some restricted part of the brain,
it does it to the whole, the global brain. This matches my experience
during the course that my whole brain - I tangibly feel it all over
the brain - gets into a higher style of functioning. The whole brain
feels full of light, there is a sense of fullness and of lightness -
it just feels great. I also feel more and more tired, which I
recognize as a sign that my body has gone through great
transformation and needs, cries for, sleep to metabolize it all. This
fatigue appears not only while watching the display, but also while
listening to Cynthia and Alarik talk about Aatmaa, Veda, Brahm,
Purusha and Prakrti.
After our second day on this third time I'm taking the course,
between 2 flights, while my mind was wandering between thoughts, a
thought occurred to me. You see, I'm coming to know the incredible
Bliss and Light as me, and on that day I experienced them as
undivided unity encompassing my body. Suddenly recalling that
Maharishi has referred to both Bliss and Light as one and the same as
Pure Consciousness, a thought hit me - my body is consciousness! It
was not a mere theoretical thought born of analysis - it felt like a
cognition, and I was so delighted and surprised that I clapped my
hands - there in the midst of practice at the Dome. Sorry, brothers,
I disturbed you.
I can't say that since then I know my body is Consciousness, but the
misconception that it is just flesh and bones has been greatly
shaken, and with another shake or more I hope to know it clearly.
On the evening of our fifth class I experienced for the first time in
my life Unboundedness in activity. On the next day, I experienced it
when I was gazing before program and afterwards at the holy pictures
of Guru Dev, Maharishi, Mahaaraja Raam and the Holy Tradition and at
the Maharishi Vedic Observatory. It felt wonderful wonderful.
Throughout the 33 minutes of the display in the evening I was not
only unbounded, but also incredibly silent and peaceful and
unprecedentedly blissful, as the Chaandogya Upanishad declares:
Naalpe sukham asti - bhuumhaiva sukham (There is no joy in smallness
- Joy is in the infinite.)
Throughout my first year on the Invincible America Assembly my only
experience was thoughts, thoughts and thoughts, so my dear dear
Mahaaraja, it goes without saying (and I'm not saying it, of course)
that I am grateful to you, Jalalatookoom (your Highness). I have no
doubt that this course is one of the great gifts of Maharishi to the
world, on par with Ayur Veda and chanting in Sanskrit.
So I intend on taking this course or any course centered around the
model again and again. Bless you Alarik and Cynthia, and most of all
- bless you our glorious Guru, Your Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi,
who are always saying -
Jai Guru Dev

INDIVIDUAL IS COSMIC
SEVEN-LESSON COURSES
EXPERIENCING THE BEAUTIFUL ELECTRONIC MODEL OF VEDIC PHYSIOLOGY
Enlivening Perfection in Individual Life Through
Access to All the Laws of Nature Available in the
Sounds of the Veda and the Vedic Literature
Seven-Lesson Course - Afternoons 2-3:30 PM - Men's Dome
"Expecting nothing, I innocently began to watch and listen to the
Vedic physiology model. Surprisingly as soon as it started, a
beautiful sublime nectar-like bliss began to flow through my entire
body and brain."
"This feeling of owning the Ved is quite an exhilarating experience
that I can't get enough of, like a child who just finds out that it
can use its legs to walk or its mouth to emit meaningful sounds.
"I feel the different areas of my body totally enlivened as the
display lights up. The different areas feel very full, lively and
pulsating with energy."
"I am experiencing deeper meditations and stronger flying."
"Since the course started, I feel as though the Ved stepped out of
the books and entered my physiology. It is a great relief because I
have been acutely aware lately of my body not following up with the
wholeness growing in my consciousness. Now this course is bridging
the gap between consciousness and matter (the body) so that I can be
one whole person in body and mind. I feel that my body now is
pulsating Ved.
"I have had bad hearing for 10 years, but it has improved since the
course began. Before, I could not hear recitation without my hearing
aid, but I can hear it quite clearly now without it.
"I noticed that when I am looking at the Model of the Vedic
Physiology, I feel blissful, super happy feelings, coming from my
heart and mind."
"For 40 years, I have had some pain and tenderness from a sports
injury. Then, I re-injured the same injury about 5 years ago. When I
finished the second course, it started to throb and the pain that has
been with me for years disappeared and has been gone ever since."
"I perceived the "field" of being was lively everywhere, vibrant with
soft, blissful wholeness. My experience changed within a moment from
"I am that" inside, to also include "that" is pervading the space and
everything outside of me as well.
"I am experiencing deeper program, clearer intellect and bliss
throughout the day."
For the first time, a Vedic Physiology course is being offered with
the aid of a beautiful electronic Model of Maharaja's discovery of
Veda in the Human Physiology. This allows the viewer an opportunity
to realize how these sounds enliven the body's innate intelligence.
Maharaj explains that Total Natural Law is within us, and is
available to us in the sounds of the Vedic Literature, which are
vibrations of the Self. These sounds become the physiology, our
brain, our heart-our whole physiology is an exact replica of the Veda
and Vedic Literature. A live brainwave demonstration of meditation
and listening to the Vedic sounds will provide a display of brain
mechanics that express the dynamics of Veda - a direct visualization
of Totality.
