Knowledge of the knower - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi

http://www.mum.edu There are two sides to knowledge: the object of knowledge, and the knower. Present education provides knowledge of the object but misses knowledge of the knower.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, speaking to the American Association of Higher Education in Houston, Texas. (1973)

Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students' inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.

Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one course at a time. Students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.

The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM's most popular undergraduate major.

@TheLetsbegin He says, "If we look into the process of gaining knowledge, we find...." Sorry about the audio gap – it's a very old tape. But as you say, great insight.

This resolves a great problem or blind spot of education today: knowledge of the knower!! Else we will continue using the most beautiful scientific inventions to create the most appalling weapons. And the solution is practical: Today we can start resolving that problem: Transcendental Meditation!! As a nuclear scientist I have looked for such a solution all my life.....

knowledge is structured in conciousness.

@awakearound As an MUM student I can tell you why, because as soon as you arrive, people from all walks of life and all countries are shaking your hand and asking you about yourself, where you're from, your beliefs ect, and it rubs off on you fast, now, in only 5 days of being here, I am the one approaching others to shake their hand, good stuff man

thank you, Maharishi, for showing us the path, leading us on the parth, and sweetening it with the tangible goal at every step

I checked out the MUM site. The students seem really happy there.

Knowledge of the knower, your creative Self, helps you learn way faster because everything has way more meaning.
