Self-knowledge

At MUM, Self-knowledge is not just an intellectual process. It’s the direct experience of your own innermost nature — the state of pure consciousness, the underlying reality of life.

This experience is gained through a simple, natural procedure — the Transcendental Meditation technique. All students and faculty meditate 20 minutes twice daily at MUM.

MUM offers Consciousness-Based education, where you’ll discover how each field of study is connected at the deepest level to your own Self, making learning much more satisfying, relevant, and exciting.

— Black Elk, Sioux holy man, 1863–1950
