Maharishi’s Global Family Chat Summary 14 / AUGUST / 2012
Transcendental Meditation for the military is spreading in the US As consciousness rises more big projects pop up in Latin America Dr Adam Pressman described how the news is going mainstream that Transcendental Meditation is providing a solution for military personnel, veterans and ‘first responders’ (police, firemen, emergency workers) as they battle with post-traumatic stress. Typical of the spread was an event held at Fort Hamilton, New York, last Saturday. Adam showed a powerful video of the New York Fire Department chief, the local congressman, and other veterans passionately encouraging the attendees to contribute to the Warrior Wellness programme. Particularly moving was the story told by Debbie Ortiz, wife of a police officer who suffered from severe post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which was cleared within three days by his practice of Transcendental Meditation. Dr Swan commented that the tone of Dr Pressman’s and Dr Bobbie Roth’s reports has changed remarkably in the past 6 months: they used to speak as though they were leading the collective consciousness from ‘outside’, but now the collective consciousness has risen to the extent that they speak as leaders, but from within the national awareness. Dr Pressman agreed and emphasized that all the developments are due solely to the large group of Yogic Flyers in and around the Invincible America Assembly. Raja Luis said this has been a special week, in which the rapidly changing quality of collective consciousness has delivered two more large projects. At a time when intensive planning is under way to find ways to fulfil huge teaching projects, new projects are popping up from unexpected angles. This week the government of a (neighbouring country,) where there has not been much TM activity, requested a pilot project of 10,000 students to learn Transcendental Meditation. And based on that success TM would be implemented for all students nationwide. While thinking about this, a Sidha who leads an international unit teaching health education programmes in many countries including Africa, requested another large project. Raja Luis also emphasized that this ‘contagion’ is spreading due to the existing large groups of Yogic Flyers who are purifying the collective consciousness of the entire continent. He said we are not in control, but we just keep on steadily doing what we have to do, and then the next step comes by itself. Soon he will be asking again for TM Teachers to come and help.
