Abstract:

Business acknowledge that their most valuable asset is the creative intelligence of their employees. However, training programs currently rely on Western techniques and no U.S. educational or training programs have been measured to systematically improve creative intelligence. The most creative and intelligent minds, thus, become a scarce resource of our knowledge-based era. Traditional Vedic approaches to knowledge focus on realising Atma, pure consciousness, the source of intelligence and creativity. Maharishi's Vedic Technologies of Consciousness, the most thoroughly researched programs of self-development available today, have been scientifically measured to improve intelligence creativity, and other variables hitherto treated as invariant. Thus the problems of scarcity (and diminishing control) are solvable.
