Transcendental cosmic consciousness

Cosmic consciousness is said to emerge out of interaction of transcendental consciousness and everyday experience. Its characteristics are clarity and tranquillity of the mind and uninterrupted awareness of self during waking, dreaming and sleeping states, in a dual, non-interfering and unconnected manner. Scientific research suggests increased brainwave coherence.

Postulated by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, cosmic consciousness has been studied along with transcendental consciousness in individual and societal context. Links between proposed ability of effortless functioning and brainwave studies provide objective data for validation. Cosmic consciousness seems to occur spontaneously and to disintegrate if not stabilized into God-consciousness or unity-consciousness.
