  1. Science of Creative Intelligence Writing the Essay Dara Llewellyn, PhD Spring 2007

  2. The Assignment • Write a two- to three-page essay about your profession or a field of interest or study with which you are familiar. It should include three key SCI principles that illustrate the connection between the Science of Creative Intelligence and your topic. The length of the essay should be about 500 words. The essay is due before the final exam. • The topic should be one with which you are familiar, so that you will not need to do any research or outside study in order to write the paper, other than perhaps including appropriate quotations from SCI-related materials to support your points.

  3. First Person Voice • Because the essays are about our own personal experience, we write in the first person (using "I, we, my, mine, our, ours"). • This voice makes it easier to show in the most self-referral way how SCI is connected to our topic and makes the essay more interesting to read.

  4. SCI Principles • Clear correlations between the principles of SCI and our chosen topic should be explained. • The SCI portion should constitute at least 50% of the paper, with full explanations of the SCI principles and their connections to the topic. • We should also mention TM and its benefits in the context of these connections.

  5. Content Outline of the Essay An Introduction: • Attention step • Context of topic • Summary or wholeness statement (thesis) The Body of the Essay: • Correlation between topic and first SCI principle • Correlation between topic and second SCI principle • Correlation between topic and third SCI principle Conclusion: • A concluding paragraph pulling the whole discussion together • Emphasis on most compelling idea:

  7. Format: Model Heading of First Page Your Name SCI Essay for Professor Wonderful Full Date Your Title First line of your text goes here and each subsequent paragraph is indented. No extra spaces are left between paragraphs. All text is double spaced.

  8. Some Questions to Help You Get Started • What are some of your fields of interest or a field of study that you are familiar with that you could write about in your essay? Try to list as least 3 fields. • What are some principles of SCI that you could correlate to your topic? List 3 or 4 and explain briefly the connection between the principle and your topic. • How can you bring yourself into the essay? What are some ways you can bring yourself into the introduction and conclusion?

  9. Referencing & Documentation Guidelines: Introducing Quotations • Any ideas or statements in a paper not our own must be credited to the person who had the idea or said it first (by law). • If we mention a principle or analogy that we have learned from Maharishi we should say: • Maharishi explains, or Maharishi gives the following analogy… • Other possible ways of citing Maharishi (as appropriate to the situation): • Maharishi states or Maharishi describes

  10. Direct Quotations • If we use a direct quote, for example: Maharishi explains that “knowledge is structured in consciousness,” we use quotation marks as shown. • If the quote is more than one sentence, then we use a block format. In this format we indent and do not use quotation marks. Thus, the way to experience transcendental Being lies in selecting a proper thought and experiencing the subtle states until its subtlest state is experienced and transcended. We shall now deal with the main principle of the system of Transcendental Meditation. (Maharishi (1963]1996], p. 29.)

  11. Documentation of References Documentation takes two forms: 1. A short citation within the text of your paper. 2. A list of works cited added at the end of your paper.

  12. Short Citations within the Paper 1. If we are citing material from something that does not have an author, (for example from the University Bulletin) we cite the organization that published the material. For example: Mathematics is the science and art of orderliness. It symbolically expresses students’ own common sense—how they quantify order and change in every day life. (Maharishi University of Management, 2003, p. 129) 2. If using material from an Internet site where the author is not mentioned, write: Text of what we want to present (URL for website and year if available) 3. If the author is mentioned at the website, we do the same as we would do for an article or book. We would then mention the website later on as described below.

  13. List of References at End of PaperAt the end of the paper we write out all the references that we have cited in the text. This listing should be done in alphabetical order. Please see the examples below. Note use of italics for book and journal titles. Numbers after the journal title are, respectively, volume number and page numbers. Traditionally, we do not use italics for the Bhagavad-Gita. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. (1967). On the Bhagavad-Gita, a new translation and commentary. Baltimore: Penguin Books. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (1963 [1995]. Science of being and art of living: transcendental meditation. New York: Plume. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. (1972). The science of creative intelligence. [33 video tape series]. Livingston Manor, NY: MIU Press, Maharishi University of Management. (2005).
