Abstract
Unitary Human Caring Science (UHCS) based on the Science of Unitary Human Beings and caritas-veritas consciousness provides a lens for viewing lived experiences of doctoral nursing students practicing Transcendental Meditation ®. Caritas-Veritas, through the light of UHCS articulates virtues/values explicating expanding consciousness in nursing praxis. Science and spirit converge, illuminating emerging consciousness of authentic presence found in Caritas-Veritas praxis. To embody and embrace veritas, nurses act with honor, and commitment, in service to humankind. The values of goodness, truth, and beauty are evident in the energetic human-universe, as the whole of unitary reality is expressed as the cosmic quantum field.
