Wired magazine's website ran an article recently on how the U.S. Army will be researching alternative treatments including the Transcendental Meditation program for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

 

Seventeen percent of troops returning from Iraq may have PTSD, and apparently the Army is getting desperate for solutions.

11 April 2008 - Today, as I write this editorial, more than 4,000 of brave warriors have died in Iraq. Five years have passed since the United States first sent its armed forces into Iraq. Military experts predict that they will be there for a long time.

Both wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the entire Global War on Terrorism, could quickly be ended if the U.S. military would use Invincible Defense Technology (IDT). Since 1989, when I first started working on my Ph.D. dissertation on Consciousness-Based Military Defense, I have contacted military-related leaders worldwide about using IDT to end war and prevent enemies from arising. I started with American military-related leaders, particularly U.S. Air Force generals I met in 1990 while serving my second enlistment in the U.S. Air Force at Offutt AFB. Not one was interested. Even if I could find one, my politically savvy commander counseled me that it would take at least ten generals to convince the U.S. military to deploy an IDT system.

Since an IDT system could not be used for nefarious purposes against the United States or any other country, I had no qualms about contacting the Russians, who have long sought to win the race to "inner space" by harnessing the untapped potential of the human mind. In 1991, they responded favorably to my inquiry to give presentations about IDT.

 

Subscribers to Invincible Defense Technology News who have known me a long time may remember my lecture tour in Moscow where I gave presentations at the Russian Air Force Academy, the Russian Academy of Sciences, etc. (Newcomers to IDT can read a 1992 article in Insight that I wrote entitled a "New Military Science Is Warmly Received in Moscow" about these groundbreaking lectures.) The last presentation I gave in Russia was to General-Major Leonid Shershnev, USSR Army (Ret.) who was the President of the National and International Security Foundation in Moscow. A key player in the Soviet's ill-fated war in Afghanistan, who watched first-hand the great loss of life, he was intrigued with the IDT strategy of victory before war. Shershnev readily agreed to serve as a consultant for my doctoral program in Consciousness-Based Military Defense.

 

I suspect that General-Major Shershnev and others in Moscow may be ultimately responsible for the many generals and other military-related leaders from former Soviet-block countries who attended the Third International Conference on Invincible Defense in The Netherlands.

These senior leaders wrote encouraging assessments of the potential of IDT and apparently reported back to their governmental leaders, urging implementation. However, since most countries only sent one or two representatives to attend the conferences, they could not convince at least ten generals/admirals that it was in their best interest to create an invincible military.

 

Today's climate is different. Senior leaders are more open-minded. I have been contacted by scientists at military academies worldwide who have expressed interest in IDT. I will be giving a presentation at a military academy's-sponsored event in Asia this summer. [Editor's Note: See: information about presentations at Seoul National University & Korea Military Academy as well as the Korea Institute for Defense Analyses] I anticipate that soon, a country's military will decide to explore "inner space" by deploying IDT, making their nation invincible. If this is not the United States, then the US Military Academy at West Point, the U.S. Air Force Academy, the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy will be scrambling to catch up.

 

Ironically, to this date, despite many queries that included the peer-reviewed research on conducted on IDT, not one of the military academies in the U.S. has invited me to give a presentation on this topic. However, there is hope. Salutes to the Proteus Management Group who in 2006 hosted a presentation about IDT entitled: "The Applications of Strategic Stress Management in Winning the Peace" by then Army War College student Col. Brian Rees. [Editor's Note: Since this time IDT presentations have been given at the Institute for Defense and Business and "The Fifth Annual Countering IEDs: Assessing the IED Threat and its Evolution on the Battlefield and in the Homeland" conference in Washington, D.C.]

The late Admiral Hyman G. Rickover, U.S. Navy who was known as the "Father of the Nuclear Navy," said that: "Good ideas are not adopted automatically. They must be driven into practice with courageous patience." During these dangerous times, when terrorists can attack at any time with weapons of mass destruction, preventing such enemies from arising is a good idea whose time has come. Therefore, when the United States military decides to adopt Invincible Defense Technology, it would be wise to select leaders of Rickover's caliber and dedication to lead the charge if it expects to catch up and win the race for "inner space."

 

The race is heating up. Readers of the 1 January 2008 issue of Invincible Defense Technology News are aware of the fully operational IDT systems in The Netherlands (Holland), Trinidad and Tobago, Bolivia, Peru and Columbia. According the Maj. Gen. Singh's report, India is almost fully operational. However, these are all civilian groups, doing the military's job of protecting their nation. Hopefully, the United States will win the race for "inner space," just like it won the race for "outer space" in the 1960's.

2016 Editor's UPDATE: Since this 2008 issue of the newsletter was published, Invincible Defense Technology articles have been published in Pravada as well as in other Russian-related publications.

Third International Conference: Raising Military Strength to Invincibility through Creation of the Maharishi Prevention Wing in the Military

Dr. David R. Leffler, the Executive Director at the Center for Advanced Military Science (CAMS) contributed to the report referenced below compiled by Forecasting International and sponsored by the Proteus Management Group, The National Intelligence University, Office of the Director of National Intelligence and the Center for Strategic Leadership at the U.S. Army War College:
 
Dr. David R. Leffler, (2008, February). "An Overlooked, Proven Solution to Terrorism." In "55 Trends Now Shaping the Future of Terrorism." Edited by Dr. Marvin J. Cetron and Owen Davies. The Proteus Trends Series, Volume 1, Issue 2 (pp. 18, 79, 176, C-13 through C-16). A PDF of the entire report is available online on The Air University (AU) official USAF website at: http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/army/proteus-55-terror.pdf 
 
There is a lot of interesting information available in this report by many deep thinkers at the Office of the Secretary of Defense, National Defense University, U.S. Army War College, U.S. Naval War College, National Intelligence Council, RAND Corporation, Georgetown University, University of Maryland, etc. that will be of interest to defense analysts.

Can militaries eliminate terrorism solely by deploying weaponry and soldiers?

 

The answer is "no." Often, such strategies only raise tensions even further. Military leaders need to understand that terrorism and war are human problems requiring human solutions. The underlying cause of these, and other types of social violence, is accumulated stress.

 

Therefore, to eliminate such social problems, all militaries need to reduce collective societal stress. The answer to the problem is simple. No collective stress means no tension between rival factions. No terrorism.

 

Extensive scientific research indicates that the best way to reduce collective societal stress, and thereby snuff out war and terrorism, is by adopting an ancient Vedic strategy. "Avert the danger that has not yet come."

 

Physicist and Vedic scholar Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has revived the ancient Vedic technology of Invincible Defence in a non-religious manner. It has been quietly and successfully used by members of many faiths to eliminate conflict in the recent past. By applying this human resource-based technology, which is nourishing and not destructive, all militaries could reduce tensions and control terrorism.

 

A Prevention Wing of the Military would be the ideal way to use this technology. This wing would comprise about 2-3% of the military. The remaining personnel would carry out their normal military duties. The Prevention Wing of the Military would be trained in the primary components of Invincible Defence Technology - the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program and its advanced practices. They would practice these techniques in a group morning and evening. The group would radiate coherence in the atmosphere, affecting their own minds as well the minds of others, including those of the opponents. Peaceful overtures would increase from all sides, reducing tensions.

 

Extensive scientific research has shown that Invincible Defense Technology works. Mozambique used IDT to end its civil war in the 1990's. More and more countries have enough practitioners of the TM-Sidhi program to be invincible. Will your country be next?
