Though blind, Helen Keller had remarkable abilities of intuition and insight.? These talents can be developed by practicing Transcendental Meditation.



Helen Keller
1880?1968 ? United States


Though blind and deaf from the age of two, Helen Keller graduated with honors from Radcliffe College ? the first blind and deaf person to earn a college degree. She devoted her life, through lecturing and writing books, to social reform. The play and film The Miracle Worker tells the story of how her teacher, Anne Sullivan Cheap Logan Cooke Jersey , helped her emerge from her world of darkness and silence to become celebrated as one of the greatest women of her time.


Keller published a dozen books and visited 40 countries, gaining international fame as she campaigned for peace, women?s rights, workers? rights, and rights for the disabled. She helped found the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920. Her friends included Alexander Graham Bell, Mark Twain, and Charlie Chaplin. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and received honors from around the world.


In her book My Religion Cheap Ronnie Harrison Jersey , she describes the following experience:


?I sense a holy passion pouring down from the springs of Infinity. . . . Bound to suns and planets by invisible cords, I feel the flame of eternity in my soul. Here, in the midst of the every-day air, I sense the rush of ethereal rains. I am conscious of the splendor that binds all things of earth to all things of heaven ? immured by silence and darkness, I possess the light which shall give me vision a thousandfold when death sets me free.?


Helen Keller is describing the experience of a transcendental level of the mind. Relating it to ?Infinity,? she describes it as ?the flame of eternity in my soul.? In this deep inward place, she experiences ?the splendor that binds all things of earth to all things of heaven.? Even though she is blind and deaf Cheap Dante Fowler Jr Jersey , confined by ?silence and darkness,? she nevertheless experiences an inner light that transcends death.




In her book The World I Live In, she comments on this experience from a different direction:


?There is in the blind as in the seeing an Absolute which gives truth to what we know to be true, order to what is orderly, beauty to the beautiful, touchableness to what is tangible. If this is granted, it follows that this Absolute is not imperfect Cheap Dawuane Smoot Jersey , incomplete, partial. . . . Thus deafness and blindness do not exist in the immaterial mind, which is philosophically the real world, but are banished with the perishable material senses. Reality, of which visible things are the symbol, shines before my mind. While I walk about my chamber with unsteady steps, my spirit sweeps skyward on eagle wings and looks out with unquenchable vision upon the world of eternal beauty.?


In this passage Cheap A. J. Cann Jersey , Helen Keller recognizes this deep inner field as ?Absolute,? the source of truth, order, and beauty, a field of perfection and totality. She understands all things are the expression of this. She calls it ?Reality? ? and here, she tells us, is ?the world of eternal beauty.?


Helen Keller?s beautiful descriptions of her inner experience remind us of the experience of transcending that takes place when we close our eyes and practice the Transcendental Meditation technique. Effortlessly Cheap Yannick Ngakoue Jersey , naturally, and spontaneously, the mind settles inward. It becomes quiet and settled. There may be moments during meditation when we experience consciousness in its pure state ? as an ocean of pure wakefulness, the silent, unbounded field from which all thoughts and feelings arise.


Maharishi has described this field of pure consciousness as ?the Absolute? ? the very word Helen Keller uses. By this he means it?s a field that lies beyond time, beyond space, beyond change. Though unchanging in itself Cheap Dede Westbrook Jersey , it rests at the foundation of all change in the universe. This is nature?s innermost reality, its ultimate truth. This is the Self of everyone.


Over the last several decades, research in quantum physics has revealed the underlying unity of nature from a mathematical perspective. At the basis of our infinitely diverse, ever-changing universe, beyond time, space, and change Cheap Cam Robinson Jersey , is a unified field. This field embodies nature?s infinite creativity and intelligence, guiding orderly change at every point in space, at every moment in time.


The American physicist John Hagelin has shown that these two fields ? the field of pure consciousness and the unified field ? are one and the same. This means that when we transcend during Transcendental Meditation practice, we are experiencing not only the source of thought but the source of natural law. We are aligning ourselves with the flow of natural law.
