Summary (excerpt):
We now come to the last step in our journey of the ‘pathless path’, described in Maharishi’s great teaching of the seven states of consciousness. In the sixth state of consciousness, as we have seen in the previous chapter, pure consciousness, the Self, continues to be lived as a permanent reality throughout all the relative states of consciousness, as it has been ever since the onset of Cosmic Consciousness. In this experience the Self has been found to be the basis of individual life.
