The recognition of higher states of consciousness is a recurring theme that is evident in all cultures throughout history.
What is the basis of our conscious experience—the cycle of waking, dreaming, and sleeping?
The simplest state of awareness is a self-referral state. It is a field of all possibilities.
As the physicist Eddington said, ”The stuff of the world is mind stuff.” The ancient Yoga Vasistha likewise teaches that this world appears material, but is ultimately pure consciousness.
These profound insights infer that consciousness is all there is, and we are not in the world; the world is within us.
Welcome to Simplest State where we examine these understandings and explore the very nature of consciousness and self-realization.

In this engaging conversation, Ron speaks with Dr. Craig Pearson, a distinguished scholar and PhD in Vedic Science. Dr. Pearson discusses his book 'The Supreme Awakening' which explores the universality of experiences of enlightenment across different cultures and eras, and has been praised by prominent figures like David Lynch.
Dr. Pearson shares his motivation, rooted in his practice of Transcendental Meditation, and the extensive research process behind the book, which involved sifting through hundreds of texts to find first-hand experiences of higher states of consciousness. He explains the stages of consciousness described by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, emphasizing the natural progression beyond the typical human development as it is defined by modern psychology.
Dr. Pearson and Ron explore the fascinating experiences of well-known figures such as William Wordsworth, Eugene O'Neill, Billie Jean King, and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj.
Dr. Pearson emphasizes that these profound experiences are accessible to everyone, and reflects on how Transcendental Meditation can systematically cultivate these states.
The discussion highlights the spontaneous and diverse ways these states are experienced, and their significance in achieving full human potential. Dr. Pearson also addresses the impact of individual transcendence on global issues, promoting the idea that cultivating higher consciousness can lead to global peace and enhanced creativity.
The conversation concludes with reflections on how anyone, regardless of their background or daily life, can achieve these profound experiences and contribute to a better world.
