On a societal scale, the approach of restoring calm and quelling social 
violence through the use of similar techniques by small embedded groups in 
society has been extensively field tested—in the Middle East and throughout the 
world. The consistent result has been marked reductions in terrorism, war, and 
social violence in the affected populations. These findings have been 
replicated in more than 50 studies, published in leading peer-reviewed 
scientific journals, and endorsed by hundreds of leading scientists and 
scholars. The efficacy of this approach is scientifically beyond question.

 The Maharishi Invincibility Centre in Brussels is very strategically located 
only a few hundred meters from the conference hall of the EU Leaders. 

 

 

 The meditating Assemblies start early in the morning on Thursdays, so it is 
recommended that participants arrive in Brussels on Wednesday evenings. The 
Assemblies end on Sundays after lunch. This course is offered for free. We can 
help you find suitable accommodation. To apply, send your email to brussels@...

 Looking forward to welcoming at least 108 meditators in Brussels on all these 
occasions – please bring one or two friends!

are ineffective against terrorism. And military responses can further 
antagonize and enflame an already volatile population, leading to retaliation 
and greater terrorism—the inevitable consequence of attempting to create peace 
through violence. How, then, can such dangerous and complex threats be resolved?

 I think if they want to teach TM in schools or in prisons or to the men and 
women with PTSD that is great. But, for me, when I think of TM I think of the 
70's and the 80's (this is when I was practicing it and attending MIU etc) and 
it seems dated to me. While I have no problem with the technique or anyone 
practicing it, all the other hooplah seems like a money grab and borders on a 
bunch of hooey. If the die hards sitting around moldering on Purusha or Mother 
Divine want to continue to do so, all the power to them but this is for the 
equivalent of the fanatics in TM, IMO. The fact that some of my former 
classmates at the ripe old age of nearly 60 choose to live in FF is fairly 
quaint I'm pretty sure I couldn't manage it. That part seems all about 
community, though, which is fine as it is probably better than retirement in 
some old folks home.

Not to mention that ISIS is staffed by amateurs, probably gung ho gamers 
who want to play the real thing obviously without thinking things 
through.  These fools are going to be seeing 72 demons ready for their 
butts than virgins quite soon. They are like a form of zombie and we 
know what to do with zombies. ;-)

Unfortunately, the options available to our military and political 
leaders to resolve these crises are poor. Economic sanctions and 
diplomatic pressure are ineffective against terrorism. And military 
responses can further antagonize and enflame an already volatile 
population, leading to retaliation and greater terrorism—the 
inevitable consequence of attempting to create peace through violence. 
How, then, can such dangerous and complex threats be resolved?

Research shows that war and social conflict are fueled by acute 
societal stress—mounting political, ethnic and religious tensions 
among rival factions that, if unchecked, inevitably erupt as social 
violence. Research similarly shows that it is possible to effectively 
defuse such acute societal tensions through the use of powerful, 
stress-reducing, peace-promoting technologies by a small fraction of 
the population, most commonly within the military or in schools or 
universities.

Achieving societal peace in a nation or a region torn by deep-seated 
political and religious tensions is historically difficult—especially 
given the underlying physiological root cause of social violence: 
acute and pervasive societal stress. Without addressing the buildup of 
acute societal stress, standard approaches to conflict resolution are 
unlikely to succeed. However, once such tensions have been 
substantially defused, achieving and maintaining societal peace 
becomes comparatively easy.

I am missing the input of nablusoss1008 here on things like this.
Nablusoss was one of the few practitioners to bring their content over 
here and defend it.


I would hope Nablusoss could feel safe enough here now to come back on 
and help keep us informed of developments like this.  I should suspect 
that he would be in Brussels for a peace project like this.

it is recommended that participants arrive in Brussels on Wednesday 
evenings. The Assemblies end on Sundays after lunch. This course is
