About David Orme-Johnson, Ph.D.
Maharishi’s Vedic Psychology is the complete knowledge and practical technologies to unfold the full range of human development. It describes Seven State of Consciousness. The familiar Waking, Dreaming, and Sleep are the first three, and Transcendental Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, and Unity Consciousness are the sequence of higher states of consciousness.
