Consciousness is not a static field but has evolved over time and will likely continue to evolve in the future. Various Eastern scriptures, such as the Vedas and Upanishads, propose that consciousness extends beyond the individual mind. These texts have developed models that explain what consciousness is, the different types of consciousness, its origins, and its potential future evolution. 

Many scholars have drawn on this wisdom to define their own models of consciousness. Sri Aurobindo, an Indian philosopher and mystic, provided a comprehensive model of consciousness and outlined what humans need to do to advance to higher levels of consciousness.

WHY ATTEND:

In this workshop, you will:

• Discover the origins of consciousness as described in Eastern scriptures like the Vedas and Upanishads.
• Get acquainted with Sri Aurobindo's model of the evolution of consciousness.
• Understand the higher stages of consciousness and explore the techniques suggested to reach them.

This event is part of the "Consciousness Studies" course, held (almost) every Tuesday in Fall '24 at MQ Academy, that delves into diverse perspectives from science, philosophy, psychology, and shamanism.
