16 Principles of the Science of Creative Intelligence

Mnemonic memory devices to help review the SCI Principles
Note: These are NOT official memory aids from Maharishi - who did not need aids.
The goal is to, with regular practice, transcend the need for any memory aids.

NOTE: It is important to take the SCI Course at your local TM Center first,
and hear Maharishi explain each principle in detail, to avoid misinterpretation.

Richard Beall PhD the Headmaster of Maharishi School in Fairfield
listed Principles perfectly from memory as an example to the students.

Oprah Winfrey asked Dr. Beall: "What are the 16 principles?"
on her nationwide television show, seen by millions of people:

SCI Principles in a Story Sequence Techinque
This is similar to the story to help us remember the 13 colonies in the order they became the United States.
Here is a story about buying a birthday cake as a present, going out, and eating it.

Hi! First, we Ordered a present (birthday) everywhere in town, and a Life founding layer cake. Outer is dependent on the inner as the Nature of life is to grow.. We enjoyed Rest and activity while Doing Less and accomplishing more. Our Action had the reaction of Purification as it lead to progress in the Field of all possibilities. Thought is for action, action is for achievement, and achievement is for fulfillment. We Know Inside and Out (the MUM motto) - Knowledge is structured in consciousness. Harmoniously the diverse group of us ate the Whole container and every part (of the cake), and (our stomachs )became Greater than the sum of the parts.

Practice in transitioning from one SCI Principle to the next.
Each principle can remind us of the next principle.

Seek the highest first because
Order is present everywhere and
Life is found in layers and
Outer depends on the inner.

The nature of life is to grow because
Rest and activity are the steps of progress.
We do less and accomplish more and
Every action has a reaction.

Purification leads to progress because
The field of all possibilities is the source of all solutions and
Knowledge is for action, action is for achievement, and achievement is for fulfillment

Knowledge is gained from inside and outside because
Knowledge is structured in consciousness and
Harmony exists in diversity

The whole is contained in every part because
The whole is greater than the sum of the parts.

Repetition is the mother of learning

The 14 Qualifies of Creative Intelligence

Fullness
Purposeful
Spontaneous
Active
Progressive
Transcending
Integrative
Stability
Adaptability
Joyfulness
Evolutionary
Self-purifying
Harmonious
Fulfilling

For better memorization

Fullness, being purposeful, spontaneously become active, and takes a direction towards progress, and transcending, accelerates the integration of stability and adaptability, and enjoys evolution in self-purification, harmony, and fulfillment.

Note:
You may find that the 16 Principles of SCI are listed in a different order (below).
This page uses the order which makes Highest First first (makes sense huh?)
and makes the others most easily remembered through mnemonic devices.

Also "do less and accomplish more has been recently changed to
"Enjoy greater efficiency" apparently to prevent kids from being lazy.
But let's stick with what Maharishi said originally. It's easier.
