Sir Arthur Eddington, the British physicist, said, “The stuff of the world is mind-stuff.”
The Yoga Vasistha of the ancient Vedic literature states, “Even as from the waking state there is no materiality in the objects seen in a dream, this world appears to be material, yet in reality it is pure consciousness.”
We are not in the world; the world is within us, and the Simplest State of human awareness is that state where consciousness is open to itself--a field of all possibilities.
The development of higher states of consciousness is a theme of all cultures throughout time. Each in their own way, our guests have searched for something more, and we learn from them how their search for higher states of consciousness has impacted them as they describe the pursuit, development, and expression of consciousness and creativity in their lives.
Unique guests, fascinating stories, wonderful revelations, and spiritual epiphanies, all brought to light in an entertaining and informative fashion on Simplest State.

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.
