Defense. "No country is enjoyingfreedom today. . . “Are you really enjoying freedom?” Throughoutthe world there is a wave of fear -fear of annihilation, ofterrorism, of conflicts and violence, of the unforeseen that couldcome at any time anywhere on earth. This fear of indefiniteness inevery nation is not a sign of the joy of freedom. Lack of freedom,dependence, fear of life -these prevail. This is the reason everynation inevitably has become alerted to amass the means of defense.The bigger the amassing of means of defense, the greater thedeclaration of fear prevailing in that nation and its government. It is the inner enemy ofviolence, fear, and weakness in the nation itself that makes it amassthe means of defense. But what one amasses in the name of defenseare the means of destruction, the means of offense. “Defense” isjust a meaningless word. In reality, the wordexisting in the policies of governments is “offense.” The wholehuman race for such a long, long time has been in the clutches ofwrong thinking, wrong understanding. Only ignorance has been guidingthe world. Due to that, offensive means were talked about in termsof defense." "Now the Age ofEnlightenment has dawned; . . . The Technology of the Unified Fieldoffers the perpetual means of defense, by which real freedom can beenjoyed by all." "Natural law is the elementthat can make the nation invincible. National consciousness must bein alliance with natural law, and for that a nation needs only thesquare root of one percent of its population trained as experts inthe Technology of the Unified Field. When all trends in life arenaturally evolutionary there is no fear; there is increasing joy,increasing satisfaction, increasing happiness, improving economy,increasing wealth. Everything in national life will prosper. Thatis a real means of defense." "The best means of defenseis to radiate this enrichment, to radiate an influence of harmony tothe neighbor. Feed the neighbor with increasing charm, harmony, andhappiness. Let these beautiful, positive qualities be radiated fromthe national consciousness. A soothing, fresh air will always comefrom the border of the country. Then all its neighbors will alwayslove that country. The way to independence and self-reliance, theway to be completely free from fear, is to amass positiveself-sufficiency tha belongs to the Unified Field of Natural Law.Radiate that unified influence to the neighboring countries, andone's own country will always be loved by all those that surround it.This is how to defend oneself." "We invite all governmentsto raise their nations to true self-sufficiency, the real means ofdefense." Unified Field BasedDefense: Invincibility "The Ideal of Defense isinvincibility. Invincibility is a state of self-sufficiency. Theideal of self-sufficiency and invincibility is found in nature at thelevel where the unified field of all the laws of nature is eternallyself-sufficient. That is an eternal state of invincibility, thehighest level of invincibility, which cannot be touched by anyone." 1985- "To be really strong andreally sovereign in one's own existence one needs the strength ofnature, the organizing power of nature. One needs the masterlyskills through which nature governs the universe without a problem.That self-sufficiency and invincibility belonging to the unifiedfield of all the laws of nature can easily be gained by anyindividual and any nation through this technology. I wish that allindividual, all government, and all non-governmental organizations inthe world rise to self-sufficiency through the use of the Technologyof the Unified Field." -Life Supported by NaturalLaw Lectures by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi World assembly on VedicScience, July 9-17, 1985 1985- 5,600 experts inthe Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field from 48 countries andall 50 states of the United States gathered in Washington, D.C.,from July 9-17, 1985, for the World Assembly on Vedic Science. Theycollectively practiced the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Fieldto create a powerful upsurge of coherence in world consciousness, thefoundation for permanent world peace. 1984, Inspired by the'Global Taste of Utopia', Maharishi begins to establish theirreversibility of the 'Global Maharishi Effect' for maintainingcoherence in world consciousness for all time through the power ofpure knowledge, which is endowed with the infinite organizing powerof Natural Law. Maharishi Formulates hisUnified Field-Based Integrated Systems of Education, Health,Government, Economics, Defense, Rehabilitation, and Agriculture,which will perpetuate the forthcoming Unified Field-based IdealCivilization -Samhita-Based Civilization- Vedic Civilization. A wave of inspirationthroughout the world to create groups of 7,000 'Yogic Flyers'-experts in the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field- in eachcontinent. 1983-4 7,000 'YogicFlyers' – experts in the Maharishi Technology fo the Unified Field-gather at the Maharishi International University (MIU), Fairfield,Iowa, U.S.A., to create the first Global Maharishi Effect throughoutthe world -a strong influence of harmony and positivity in worldconsciousness, described by the MIU family as the 'FIRST TASTE OFUTOPIA'. During this three-week period of this '7,000' World PeaceAssembly”, the rise of positive trends throughout the world arewell documented by scientific research, and by the world press. 1981, Maharishi conductsthe First International Vedic Studies Course in New Delhi and withthe quiet performance of the international assembly of 3,000Governors of the Age of Enlightenment practicing his Vedic Technology-”Yogic Flying” - calms down the growing violent tendencies inIndia, demonstrating the rise of Sattwa (balance in Nature). Having proven thereliability of the Maharishi Effect irrespective of culturaldifferences in the world, as a scientist Maharishi proceeds tomeasure the invincibility of the Maharishi Effect. Maharishi test thisformula by sending Governors of the Age of Enlightenment to the mosttrouble spots on earth (Iran, Rhodesia, Nicaragua) to create theMaharishi Effect and calm down violence. 1979 The First AnnualWorld Peace Assembly of Governors of the Age of Enlightenment is heldin the U.S.A to create coherence in national and world consciousness. 1978,, Discovery of the “ExtendedMaharishi Effect” -square root of one percent of the populationpracticing the TM and TM-Sidhi program together in one place producescoherence in collective consciousness promoting positive andprogressive trends in society. Maharishi tests this formula bysending Governors of the Age of Enlightenment to the most troubledspots on earth to calm the violence and turbulence. Again scientificresearch validates the success of this program. 12 January 1977 Creating an Ideal Society: . .people currentlypracticing the Transcendental Meditation technique are constantlyintensifying the Maharishi Effect and contributing to the Age ofEnlightenment. The dawn is rising to the day. The influence oforderliness generated from the state of infinite correlationexperienced during the Transcendental Meditation technique is sopowerful that even one per cent of the people in society practicingthe Transcendental Meditation technique is sufficient to neutralizenegative tendencies and give an evolutionary direction to communitylife as a whole. The phenomenon of apowerful influence of harmony spreading through a whole community ornation when a small fraction of the population practices theTranscendental Meditation technique is known as the Maharishi Effect[ME]. Considering the [Maharishi]Meissner-like Effect of Increasing Coherence in systems. “Sudden sharp changes from relativelydisordered to much more ordered states may be considered 'phasetransitions' as described in the physical sciences. For instance,water changes from a less orderly arrangement of molecules in theliquid state to a highly ordered crystalline structure when thetemperature is lowered to 0 degree C. Physicists are now beginningto explore the possible applications of phase transition models tosudden sweeping changes in individual and social systems . .Transitions to more orderly configurations are frequently mediated bythe influence of a few individuals from within a population. Sucheffects are observed in developing systems of many sorts. Forinstance, in the embryo prior to the formation of any organs, a smallcluster of cells is known as 'The Primary Organizer'. These fewcells determine the developmental fates of the multitude ofundifferentiated and unordered cells comprising the rest of theembryo.” Candace Borland, Ph.D., and GarlandLandrith III, M.A., 'Improved Quality of City Life Through theTrancendental Meditation Program: Decreased Crime Rate' in ScientificResearch on the Transcendental Meditation Program: Collected Papers,Vol. I, eds. David W. Orme-Johnson, Ph.D., and John T. Farrow,Ph.D., West Germany, MERU Press, 1976 Asmore and more cities rose to one percent of the population practicingTranscendental Meditation, scientific research found that not onlydid crime decrease, but accidents, sickness, and other negativetrends also decreased, and positivity increased. Research scientistsnamed this phenomenon the 'Maharishi Effect' in honor of Maharishi. Asearly as, “In1960 Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditationprogram, predicted that a transition in society toward a more orderlyand harmonious functioning would occur when a small fraction -on theorder of one percent- of a population practiced the TranscendentalMeditation technique (6), and in December 1974 we found that crimerate did decrease in four midwestern U.S. Cities in which one percentof the population was practicing the TM technique.” Candace Borland, Ph.D., and GarlandLandrith III, M.A., 'Improved Quality of City Life Through theTrancendental Meditation Program: Decreased Crime Rate' in ScientificResearch on the Transcendental Meditation Program: Collected Papers,Vol. I, eds. David W. Orme-Johnson, Ph.D., and John T. Farrow,Ph.D., West Germany, MERU Press, 1976 12 January 1972 Maharishiinaugurated the World Plan to “eliminate the age-old problems ofmankind in this generation.” Right from the beginningof his movement, Maharishi predicted that even a small number of theworld's population practicing his Transcendental Meditation techniquecould neutralize the stress being built up in the worldconsciousness, thus averting conflicts and wars. In 1974 these predictions werevalidated by scientific studies showing that in cities where onepercent of the population learned the transcendental Meditationtechnique there was a sudden decrease in crime rates. By 1974 more than one million peoplethroughout the world had learned the practice of TranscendentalMeditation and were experiencing higher states of consciousness.With this, world consciousness was already becoming increasinglypurified. Furthermore, people everywhere were experiencing thepractical benefits of the development of higher states ofconsciousness in all aspects of their daily life, including greaterhappiness, peace, and harmony. A growing body of scientific researchwas validating the beneficial effects this practice had on all levelsof mind, body, and behavior of the individual. Itwas at this time that research scientists discovered that in citieswhere one percent of the population was practicing TranscendentalMeditation, the cities' crime rates decreased. As more and morecities rose to one percent of the population practicingTranscendental Meditation, scientific research found that not onlydid crime decrease, but accidents, sickness, and other negativetrends also decreased, and positivity increased. Research scientistsnamed this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect in honor of Maharishi. With this formula,Maharishi realized that it was now easily practical to producepositive trends in all cities throughout the world. With thisinspiration, Maharishi envisioned a new age dawning for mankind. On12 January 1975, he inaugurated the dawn of the Age of Enlightenmentproclaiming, “Through the window of science I see the dawn of theAge of Enlightenment.” This is the time of thedawn of the Age of Enlightenment. I am only giving expression to thephenomenon that is taking place. One percent of thepeople in any country can herald the dawn of a new age for the wholenation by devoting only fifteen minutes of their time twice a day. It is in the hands of afew individuals in every country today to change the direction oftime and guide the destiny of their nation for all harmony,happiness, and progress. It is my joy to inviteeveryone to come in the light of the knowledge and experience thatthe Science of Creative Intelligence provides and enjoy participatingin this global awakening to herald the Age of Enlightenment. -Maharishi 12 January 1975 Om
