The Writing Arts in Light of Total Knowledge

The writing arts are the science and art of expressing the flow of knowledge and information for increasing progress and fulfilment in life.

The supreme value of the writing arts is achieved when the writing arts enliven the transcendental field of all life – the unified level of knower, knowledge and known.

Total knowledge of the writing arts is available at the level of the science and technology of total Natural Law, the unified field of all the laws of nature.

Anyone can access the field of total knowledge in consciousness, and unfold their full creative potential from the level of the Atma or inner Self of the Writer through the Transcendental Meditation technique.

The Writing Arts studied and practiced in the light of Maharishi Vedic Science allows the writer to gain mastery over the three-fold structure of Total Knowledge – Knower, Process of Knowing and Known, as follows:

• Unfolding full creative potential from within consciousness (Knower)
• Enjoying a more spontaneous and enriching creative process (Process of Knowing)
• Maximizing the value, effectiveness and influence of the finished work throughout the environment (Known)

The gift of Maharishi Vedic Science and it’s practical technology of consciousness, the Transcendental Meditation technique to the writer, is in opening to awareness the field of total knowledge for maximum creative energy, clarity of perception and coherent brain functioning, whilst simultaneously improving health of mind, body, and social well being, and contributing to peace and harmony in society.
