Alexander, C. N.; Heaton, D. P.; and Chandler, H. M. Advanced human development in the Vedic psychology of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: Theory and research. In Transcendence and Mature Thought in Adulthood, eds. M. E. Miller and S. R. Cook-Greuter, pp. 39-70. Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1994.
The authors describe the development of higher states of consciousness as brought to light by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in his Vedic Psychology, and contrast this to contemporary theories of cognitive or self development. The authors then review research demonstrating uniquely high scores on self-development measured among advanced participants in Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program.
