The Science of Creative Intelligence gives direct experience and understanding of how the same intelligence that governs the universe operates within you.
Physicists today describe a single underlying field, the unified field, from which everything in the universe arises. According to Maharishi Vedic Science, this same field is the field of creative intelligence, the pure consciousness you experience each time you practise Transcendental Meditation.
Through SCI you don’t only learn about this connection, you experience it directly, and come to understand life as an unbroken flow of intelligence from the cosmic to the individual.
The recorded lessons feature historic lectures by Maharishi, led by Dr Bevan Morris and Dr Ashley Deans, one of our course leaders of 2027. Maharishi’s precise explanations and examples make the knowledge easy to absorb and apply in daily life.
Ashley James Deans, PhD, is a teacher of Consciousness-Based Education and has lectured in over 100 countries. Dr Deans is a professor of Education and Physics at Maharishi International University, Dean of Faculty at MERU, and the Director of Maharishi School of the Age of Enlightenment, where SCI is integrated into the curriculum. Maharishi honoured Dr Deans as the Global Ambassador of Consciousness-Based Education.
Hubert Hol is a Transcendental Meditation teacher based in the Netherlands. At Maharishi European Research University in Vlodrop, he coordinates the in-residence courses. With a deep dedication to Maharishi’s knowledge, he strives to live and share a consciousness-based way of life.
