Ann, The Maharishi Effect, is not about belief. It is about a shift in
identity, from me, to us. Not in some phony way, but an actual shift,
in empathy, compassion, and even beyond that, sensing oneself, that
'finest feeling level, we are all familiar with, strengthening that,
not just for me, but for everyone, everything, becoming a source of
life giving and supporting energy, globally. That can never be
accomplished within the obvious boundaries, of our individual minds
and bodies .
But, if we break down some of these self-imposed boundaries, of
ourselves, again, not through belief, but through integrating
experience, Being, then, this effect, of thousands of fliers (that
being the sutra of greatest integration of Being), is truly one that
unites us, as a global people, and begins to calm a rapidly changing
world, in the direction of peace, and a better world. Not through
belief, but by reaching a profound, and sustainable, Being.
Maharishi always operated like that, from the intro lecture, on -
peace begins at home, and once that is established, go for the world.
It is a very exciting time, with every possible institution, system,
leader, and big idea, under the microscope of ubiquitous
communication, encyclopedias in a thumbprint, and everyone on the
Internet. All it takes is the right momentum, at the right time,
encouragement of the other side of life, away from violence, and
exploitation.
The genius of the Maharishi Effect, just as Maharishi accomplished
with the TM technique, is to find the combination most efficient, in
terms of the program for each individual, and their congregation, to
effect world peace, in a mechanical way. There is no need for belief,
or hope -
As the Nike ad says, "Just Do It", and the rest follows. I promise.

You are being too kind -
Actually, I thought I was being successfully rather sarcastic!
I thought it was a really good post, I gave it two stars.
Not too shabby, especially as I've got a stinking cold.
Maybe double-edged would be a better description than sarcastic.
I was serious though, even though I don't believe in it I think it's
good that it's being tested again and with so many that it will leave
us in no doubt. I can't imagine what the TMO will do when they don't
have a leg to stand on regarding the Maharishi Effect. I know they'll
just carry on regardless but they should take heed that we'll always
be able to point to this and say "what about...". Unless it turns out
they are right of course, in which case it'll be humble pie for the
sceptics unless we're all too enlightened to care!
Here is the thing, why isn't a meditation technique good enough to
hang your hat on as a Movement? Why bother to start claiming all sorts
of "Maharishi Effects" when all anyone really needs is a sound
meditation technique? I don't know if TM is the greatest or bestest
out there because I don't like sitting during my waking hours with my
eyes closed when there is so much else to do and see so I simply don't
scope out other techniques to compare. But the ME? I don't believe any
of it for a minute. But why is the ME even necessary to put out there?
If human beings are benefiting personally from a technique then the
whole world should benefit due to the individuals becoming happier,
calmer, more grounded.
