Jimmy:

I would definitely look into MUM more. It’s a unique experience for sure and for me it gave me an opportunity to grow from within and bring out deep knowledge that we all have inside us. The experienced heightened my sense of intuition, awareness and peripheral vision of the universe. In other words, it expanded my awareness. My perceptions have become sharper and more profound. I’ve had incredible opportunities come my way after I graduated. I became a successful published author (actually I became a best-selling author – you can see here: http://sjhopson.com/images/AmazonRanking.png

It’s all because I went back inside and took my mind off the world for a while. I re-discovered nature and learned Sanskrit, a very ancient form of language. And finally, I learned to meditate.

Hi Stephen
A search for Maharishi University brought me to your blog. I am looking to go there and was wondering what your thoughts are now that you have been there a bit.
Would you advise Maharishi or look elsewhere from your experience?

Thanks
Jimmy

John: TM has totally changed my life and I’m exeedingly grateful for it! I’ve been doing it for almost 2 years and WOW. What an amazing journey it has been for me. I agree that the world would be a better place if everyone practiced TM. I graduated from MUM last June 2010 and my life has been like on a jet stream, moving forward rapidly with amazing opportunities that continue to unfold. Thanks for your comment.

Reading your article made me smile. As we know Transcendental Meditation does have its benefits of calming the mind, but it is also increasingly being researched for potential physical health benefits as well. The world will be a better place if everyone practices TM. Good luck with the university and Namaste.

Steven you inspire me to continue on my own self discovery. I too have been on a inward journey for many years and in recent times have really began to feel an inner peace that is difficult to describe. Certainly, I still have days or weeks of self doubt, but with positive inward energy am finding that these days are becoming less. I was once a competitive spirit who looked to change the world. When in fact I now know I can lead by example and not put up a fight, but just accept nature, nurture and people who are at different levels of being without causing self inner conflict.

Scott: Congrats on your acceptance! So you’re deaf too? Or you just happen to know ASL? While I am deaf, I actually speak and happen to know ASL. I just graduated a month and a half ago but am still here doing Invincible America. When are you coming? We should definitely hang out when you get here. Do you have a website or are you on Facebook? I’m on FB – just do a search for Stephen Hopson.

Hello! Congrats on your acceptance. I found this blog post through a Google search on MUM. I’ve just been accepted as a transfer student in the Sustainable Living program for February 2011. I can’t wait to start. I know asl (though I’m rusty)- we should hang out when I get to campus. I’m really encouraged by the university’s efforts to make their programs accessible to the deaf community.

I have been doing some meditation and relaxation exercises for about a three month period now and I got disappointed because I’m not getting any good or successful result. Although, I’m still continuing my mental exercises and in the hope that someday I might be able to tap my inner potential.
