Meditation has the potential to literally transform
the world. In 1978, what is known as the “Maharishi Effect” took place when a
group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes
of positively effecting the surrounding city. They were able to literally
transform the collective energy of the city which reduced global crime rates,
violence, and casualties during the times of their meditation by an average of
16%. Suicide rates and automobile accidents also were reduced with all
variables accounted for. In fact, there was a 72% reduction in terrorist
activity during the times at which this group was meditation.
Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming
the benefits of global meditation and it’s direct impact on everything in the
world, even so far as to have the results published in the Journal of Crime and
Justice in 1981. We know meditation has endless health and psychological
benefits, but it is now being explored by politics and sociology because of its
undeniable energetic impact.
For example, a day-by-day study of a two-month
assembly in Israel during August and September of 1983 showed that, on days
when the number of participants at a peace-creating assembly was high, the
intensity of an ongoing war in neighboring Lebanon decreased sharply. When the
number of participants was high, war deaths in Lebanon dropped by 76%.
When the study was repeated in Wales, they got
amazing results. In 1987 Merseyside had the third highest crime rate of the
eleven largest Metropolitan Areas in England and Wales; by 1992 it had the
lowest crime rate. 40% below levels predicted by the previous behaviour of the
series. There were 255,000 less crimes in Merseyside from 1988 to 1992 than
would have been expected had Merseyside continued to follow the national crime
trend.
The secret of the Global Maharishi Effect is the
phenomenon known to Physics as the ‘Field Effect’, the effect of coherence and
positivity produced from the field of infinite correlation—the self-referral
field of least excitation of consciousness—the field of Transcendental
Consciousness, which is basic to creation and permeates all life
everywhere. Meditation takes your
consciousness to the implicate levels of existence where your intentions have
consequential effects on the explicate level that we interact with before it
even manifests. Consciousness gives rise
to the material. The key idea is that
all of existence emanates out of a field of universal consciousness, called the
Unified Field or Super String Field.
“I think the claim can be plausibly made that the
potential impact of this research exceeds that of any other ongoing social or
psychological research program. It has survived a broader array of statistical
tests than most research in the field of conflict resolution. This work and the
theory that informs it deserve the most serious consideration by academics and
policy makers alike.”
