South Korea Needs a Defense System Beyond Nuclear Weapons

By Dr. John Hagelin and Dr. David Leffler

International tensions continue to escalate in response to the latest North Korean nuclear test, missile tests, and threats to attack South Korea. As a New York Times editorial asserts, “[T]here is no military option here. Diplomacy backed by stiff sanctions is the only hope for walking North Korea back from the brink.” But now that North Korea has abandoned the long-standing 1953 armistice, diplomacy alone may not be sufficient to resolve the crisis which is driven by human behavioral dynamics that cannot be controlled by diplomatic and economic sanctions alone.

War, whether hot or cold, is a human problem requiring human solutions. War often thrives in chaos. The underlying cause of conflict is accumulated social stress. Even if a military solution to the Korean conflict seems doomed, the military of South Korea could still deploy a new scientifically verified technology of defense to reduce societal stress and end the conflict.

A New Solution

A proven new technology of defense is now available – a technology of national security, fully capable of defending South Korea from any destructive technology, including nuclear weapons. Militaries have already applied this technology in order to defuse and eliminate conflict. Extensive research has confirmed its effectiveness. This new technology is easily applied, highly cost-effective, and can prevent disruption and attack from within the country or outside the country.

This new technology of defense is based upon the latest discoveries in the fields of physics, neuroscience, and physiology. Ultimately, it is based on the discovery of the unified field of all the laws of nature – the most fundamental and powerful level of nature’s dynamics. Technologies based upon this unified field of natural law have such concentrated power that they can render obsolete and irrelevant every previous objective technology and destructive means of defense.

Modern science has probed deeper levels of nature’s functioning, from the macroscopic world of classical physics to the world of the atom, then to the underlying field of the nucleus, then to the subnuclear levels of nature’s functioning. This exploration has culminated in the discovery of the unified field, the unified source of the diversified laws of nature governing the universe. From its purely self-interacting dynamics, the unified field creates from within itself all the particles and forces that compose the universe, and all the diversified streams of natural law governing the nuclear, atomic, molecular, and macroscopic levels. Because this unified field is vastly more powerful than any other level of nature’s dynamics, a technology of defense based upon the unified field is of historic importance. It is already changing the whole science and technology of defense.

The discovery of the unified field is not a philosophical development. It is a scientific development of the foremost order – a rigorous mathematical development based upon the Lagrangian of the unified field, a highly compact mathematical formula that describes the self-interacting dynamics of unity at the basis of all the diverse laws of nature governing the universe. A technology based upon this complete, most comprehensive level of nature’s functioning is completely different from and vastly more powerful than all previous defensive technologies based upon diversified levels of natural law – nuclear technologies, chemical technologies, biological technologies, electronic technologies – because these all utilize specific laws of nature in isolation. The unique power of the unified field and of technologies of the unified field reveals that invincibility in nature is only available at this superunified scale.

Any defense strategist today understands that more fundamental, more powerful levels of nature’s functioning offer technologies that are increasingly powerful. For example, a country armed only with chemical weaponry, such as explosives, cannot protect itself against a nation equipped with nuclear weaponry.

But it is important to understand why nuclear weaponry is more powerful. In physics the quantum principle, or uncertainty principle, states that dynamism increases at more fundamental scales: more precisely, the energy associated with a physical process is inversely proportional to the distance scale or time scale associated with that process. That’s why nuclear power, associated with transitions at the nuclear scale, is a million times more powerful than chemical technologies based upon transformations at the molecular scale. The atomic nucleus is a million times smaller and hence a million times more powerful than the chemical or molecular level.

The principle here is that an invincible structure at one level of technology can be easily overwhelmed by a more fundamental level of technology. The ultimate application of this basic principle is that the unified field, at the superunified scale – the Planck scale of nature’s functioning, which is ten thousand times more fundamental and more powerful even than the grand unified forces – is completely invincible. Any previous level of technology, including all technologies of defense, is easily overwhelmed and rendered obsolete and irrelevant through a technology of the unified field. And it is just such a technology that South Korea needs to deploy today.

A Safe Solution

At this point, an intelligent reader might ask, “Is such a technology of the unified field safe?” The development of nuclear power has threatened humankind with nuclear conflagration and has cast a shadow over the safety and security of the whole world. What potential dangers could accompany a technology of the unified field, which is a thousand million million times more powerful?

Fortunately, there is no danger to humankind from these technologies of the unified field. A technology of the unified field operates at the basis of the laws of nature governing the universe – a completely unified and holistic level of nature’s functioning. Because this level of natural law is holistic, it is naturally free of the negative, unanticipated side effects that accompany technologies based upon fragmented levels of natural law.

The unified field is the unified source of all the laws of nature governing the universe. It is a field of purely life-supporting, life-nourishing influence that gave rise to all life and all forms and phenomena in the universe. From that unified level, only life-supporting effects are possible – as confirmed now by over 600 scientific studies that have explored the effects of this technology of the unified field on individual life and on the life of society. These studies have found only life-nourishing, positive benefits, based upon the holistic nature of the unified field-based technology involved.

The Transcendental Meditation Technique

This capability of this unified field-based defense technology is the basis of the world’s traditions of meditation. Properly understood and property practiced, meditation throughout the ages has been a systematic technology to turn human awareness within to experience and explore finer levels of thought. And the experience of these deeper levels of human intelligence corresponds to the experience of deeper levels of intelligence in nature. This inward exploration of consciousness culminates in the direct experience of the deepest level of consciousness – this simplest, silent, settled state of human awareness, sometimes called the state of pure consciousness – in which the human mind identifies with the unified field. By turning the attention systematically within, human awareness experiences and explores deeper levels of nature’s functioning and directly experiences the unified field at the source of thought – the field of unity at the basis of mind and matter.

This approach of direct experience of the unified field is both ancient and modern. The Vedic tradition of knowledge, from ancient India, is the most complete and highly developed tradition of meditation in the world. And yet this ancient approach of gaining knowledge and experience of natural law, the unified field, has also become the focus of intense scientific research over the past 50 years. The late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has revived, from the ancient Vedic science of consciousness, systematic technologies for experiencing the unified field, including the Transcendental Meditation program and its advanced techniques. These meditation practices are known as Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) in military circles. They have been successfully used by members of many faiths to eliminate conflict in the recent past. If the military of South Korea were to apply this human resource-based technology, which is non-lethal and non-destructive, it could reduce the collective societal stress that is fueling the rising tensions between North and South Korea.

The Prevention Wings

A Prevention Wing of the Military would be the ideal way to achieve this goal. This wing would comprise about 2 to 3 percent of the military of South Korea. The remaining personnel would carry out their normal military duties. The Prevention Wing of the Military would be trained in the primary components of IDT. They would practice these technologies in large groups, morning and evening.

These Vedic technologies of consciousness, as revived by Maharishi, have become the world’s most widely practiced, extensively researched, and broadly prescribed by doctors of any program of meditation in the world – indeed, of any program for the promotion of full human potential. These techniques systematically lead the attention within to experience the unified field – and this experience harnesses and mobilizes the unified field for practical application in the life of the individual and society.

The innate capability of the human brain to experience the unified field through these meditation programs has been validated in many ways. Millions of people practice Transcendental Meditation regularly twice a day and gain experiential confirmation through the direct experience of unity, of universal intelligence at the basis of mind and matter. Extensive scientific research confirms the completely holistic, life-supporting benefits of this experience of the unified field for all aspects of health, learning, brain development, and behavior. More than 600 published scientific studies, conducted by over 250 independent universities and research institutes in 35 countries, make this technology of consciousness the world’s most extensively proven technology for the full development of human potential. All these wide-ranging, purely positive benefits are a testimony to the unified, holistic nature of the unified field and its technologies.

According to extensive scientific research, the size of the group of IDT experts needed to reduce social stress in a given population must be at least the square root of one percent of the population. To calculate this number, multiply the population size by 0.01, and then take the square root of this number. For instance, South Korea has a population of approximately 49 million, and 48,600,000 x 0.01 = 486,000. The square root of 486,000 is approximately 698. So a group of at least 698 IDT experts would be needed.

The Maharishi Effect

Studies show that when the required threshold of IDT experts is crossed, crime goes down in the affected population, quality of life indices go up, and war and terrorism abate. Scientists have named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect in honor of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who first predicted it.

For instance, in 1993, a two-month Maharishi Effect intervention was implemented and studied in Washington, DC, the capital of the US. Predictions of specific drops in crime and other indices were lodged in advance with government leaders and newspapers. The research protocol was approved by an independent Project Review Board. The findings showed that crime fell 23 percent below the predicted level when the TM-Sidhi group reached its maximum. Temperature, weekend effects, or previous trends in the data failed to account for changes. This research was published in the peer-reviewed Social Indicators Research (1999, vol. 47, 153-201).

Over 50 studies have shown that IDT works. The causal mechanism has been postulated to be a field effect of consciousness – a spillover effect on the level of the unified field from the peace-creating group into the larger population. On this basis, a study published in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality (2005, vol. 17, 285-338) offers an explanation of a proposed causality of IDT in biological terms. Research on the powerful neurotransmitter serotonin research has shown that is produces feelings of contentment, happiness and even euphoria. Low levels of serotonin, according to research, correlate with violence, aggression, and poor emotional moods. The IDT study showed that higher numbers of IDT experts practicing in groups correlated with a marked increase in serotonin production among other community members. These results were statistically significant and followed the attendance figures in the IDT group. This finding offers a plausible neurophysiologic mechanism to explain reduced hostility and aggression in society at large.

The Maharishi Effect has also been documented on a global scale in a study published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation (2003, vol. 36, 283-302). When large assemblies of IDT experts exceeded the Maharishi Effect threshold for the world (about 7,000 at that time) during the years 1983 – 1985, deaths due to terrorism globally decreased 72%, international conflict decreased 32%, and violence was reduced in other nations without intrusion by other governments. This study used data provided by the Rand Corporation.

No Enemies Means No War

Today, the only means of national security, of national invincibility, is to be a nation without enemies. Every military strategist will confirm that conventional means of defense can no longer protect a nation against modern destructive technologies: weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, biological weapons, chemical weapons, long-range push-button electronic missile technologies, or terrorism. The only effective defense is to prevent the birth of an enemy. And this can now be easily achieved, in a scientific way, by targeting and neutralizing the enmity in a potential adversary so that no enemies arise.

This is strategic defense. In the past, nations would align their soldiers on the country’s border in the hope of preventing attack. Today any nation can simply launch a bomb across the border – and there is no defense against such electronic weaponry. The whole principle of defense based on offense, which has never really worked, is completely obsolete today – and everyone knows this. There is absolutely no scientific evidence to support the premise that war creates peace.

In the United States, for example, the Bush administration began its war on terror years ago and attacked Afghanistan, and subsequently Iraq, in the hope of eliminating its enemies. But there is no evidence today that the number of terrorists has been reduced through this war on terror; if anything, the number of would-be terrorists has increased. And therefore, the United States, like every other nation, remains insecure today. In fact, the entire world is in an extreme state of vulnerability to attack.

Finally, every military commander has always been profoundly distressed by the need to send the youth of the country – the pride of the nation – onto the battlefield and into war. If the youth of the country are asked to die for their country, then for whom, ultimately, does that country exist? For whom, when the youth are sacrificing their lives for the sake of the country, and when those who survive the battlefield are asked to claim the lives of others? This is a terrible historic situation, a “kill or be killed” technology of defense that has never worked.

So what Maharishi has brought to the world, through his revitalization of this technology of the unified field and through intense scientific scrutiny of its deep principles, is really a technology of invincibility at a time of enormous global vulnerability. Now it is possible, through this most advanced technology of defense – the Invincible Defense Technology – to prevent war on a scientific basis, and to safeguard the youth of the country who, if they simply utilize this technology, will never have to face the devastation of war. This technology can literally prevent the birth of an enemy, and can create a family of nations that is harmonious and peaceful, each nation invincibly strong within itself.

The Opportunity for Permanent Peace in Both Koreas

The military of South Korea is charged with the constitutional responsibility to defend the country. It can now succeed in this mission simply by creating a Prevention Wing of the Military – a coherence-creating group of IDT experts equaling or exceeding the square root of 1% of the population of South Korea. The rest of the military can continue to do exactly what they already do and can continue to receive exactly the same training that they conventionally receive. Only a Prevention Wing of the Military needs to trained in these additional technologies for invincibility – the science and technology of consciousness, the technology of the unified field. That small group can prevent war on a scientific basis and produce such indomitable coherence and invincibility that none of the other soldiers will ever have to face the devastation of war.

As part of its responsibility to protect the nation, South Korea’s military is obligated to thoroughly examine realistic, scientifically proven methods for preventing war and terrorism. IDT is such a method. Moreover, since the military and military personnel are funded by the government, a Prevention Wing of the Military would not be subject to the fluctuations in size that often affect civilian IDT groups, where participation may be influenced by finances, job demands, graduations, and optional activities. Military members are paid to perform their duties and protect the nation. Ultimately, it is the military’s duty to build a Prevention Wing of the Military.

There is no risk involved in the application of this technology, because the entire military can continue to do what it has already been doing. Only a small elite group within the military needs to be trained in these very simple but powerful technologies – which not only produce invincibility for the country but also powerfully improve and benefit the lives of the soldiers themselves, developing their full brain potential, robust health, dynamism, imperviousness to the stress of the battlefield, and many other benefits, as scientific research has confirmed.

Application of this technology is extremely easy and costs virtually nothing, because no expensive equipment or machinery or weaponry is required. All that is needed is the human nervous system – an extraordinarily sophisticated and refined machinery – which can be trained and put immediately to this purpose of accessing and harnessing the almost limitless power of the unified field.

The fact that such a small group of soldiers can achieve true national security and invincibility, whereas previously thousands of soldiers could not, is simply a testimony to the power of this technology of the unified field, which operates at a level of nature’s functioning millions of times more powerful even than the nuclear level.

Even from within South Korean military academies, an invincible country could be achieved, because there are already enough cadets in training to easily exceed the square root of 1% requirement for South Korea. As part of their military training, these trainees could already be creating indomitable strength and invincibility for South Korea through this technology of the unified field. Indeed, education is a natural area in which to implement the technology of the unified field, because education should develop the full brain potential – the total potential of mind, body, and behavior – maximum health, dynamism, success, effectiveness, and creativity. All these results are achieved through the introduction of these technologies of consciousness that Maharishi has revived for the world – and as a side benefit, the invincibility of the nation is secured.

We emphasize that just a small percent of the military is needed. There is no risk to the military – nothing to lose and everything to gain. And by “everything,” we mean not only national security and invincibility – which are, of course, the foremost goal – but as side benefits, economic growth, improvement of health throughout South Korea, and improvement of educational standards in the country. When the national mood is bolstered and buoyed by growing positivity and coherence in collective consciousness, as generated by the IDT group, then consumer confidence is higher, inflation is lower, unemployment goes down, investments go up, and the markets boom.

All areas of society will be simultaneously enriched by this holistically life-supporting, life-benefiting technology. It is enormously effective and cost-effective, and the results are immediate. All that is necessary is to provide the proper training for a group of military personnel – or indeed, any large group within the country. South Korea has the opportunity today through IDT to create true national security and invincibility. But the time to act is now.

Abstract

 

Modern physics has discovered a fundamental field of pure intelligence containing in seed form all the manifest states of the universe. Although its existence can be inferred, this unified field is not open to direct observation. Its unifying properties can be experienced when the awareness of the observer becomes refined during the practice of the Transcendental Meditation® (TM®) and TM-Sidhi® Programme. The experience of the unified field creates a psychophysiological state in the observer that reflects the properties of the field: infinitely correlated, unified, self-referral, and integrative. The development of these qualities is not obtained through behavioural or intellectual training, but occurs spontaneously by cultivating a state of least excitation of the nervous system. The unique results of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme have been documented in over 600 research studies, many of them published in scientific journals. Use of this holistic consciousness technology will enable the military to set up an ongoing Conflict Prevention Operation through a Prevention Wing of the Military®. In addition to its regular duties, this unit would create a heightened state of mental alertness and radiate intrinsic peacefulness as the basis for impenetrable, non-aggressive defence and constructive peacebuilding without political, economic or cultural bias.

The Sri Lankan Defence Review Committee article “Preparing To Meet Challenges To National Security ‘In The 21st Century: The Organisational Dimension'” states:

There has been no structured Higher Defence Organisation in Sri Lanka. Everything has been “ad hoc”. Even the present National Security Council is gazetted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and is confined to counter terrorist operation. The whole structure has to be reorganized in the light of the mistakes made and experiences which should be lessons for the future. The main objective is to concentrate on “Conflict Prevention” because conflict is costly in lives and money and hinders the nation’s progress. The Armed Force carried out this “conflict prevention” task effectively until a failure in “intelligence” and Higher Direction led to the conflict in 1983 lasting nearly two decades to the detriment of the nation. [i]

The challenge of defending Sri Lanka in an increasingly complex operations arena calls for fundamental innovation. If the Ministry of Defence of Sri Lanka is to achieve its stated goal of “Conflict Prevention,” which is of a clearly different order of magnitude, an equally momentous shift in its approach will be required. If old tools no longer suit the task, coating them with paint of a different colour will not help. In the same way, Sri Lanka needs new tools, not new coats of paint, to create a stable defense. The human resource-based technology of the “Bomb of Silence” is intended to provide vital new tools to Sri Lanka’s Ministry of Defence (MoD).

These vital tools are the Transcendental Meditation programme and its advanced practice, the TM-Sidhi programme. The TM programme is a simple, easily learned, non-religious meditation technique. Physicist and Vedic scholar Maharishi Mahesh Yogi revived these programmes from the ancient Vedic tradition. Over 600 scientific studies at scientific research institutions all over the world have been conducted on these programmes. This extensive research indicates that these programmes eliminate stress individually and collectively. [ii]

The Physics Behind the “Bomb of Silence”

Until the end of the 19th century, the most fundamental layer of creation that western physicists conceptually grasped was that of the atom (from Greek “a-tomos” = in-divisible). It was considered to be the building block of creation. Then came the conceptual quantum leap that the atom could be divided after all. This leap revealed, as if through a magical portal, a sub-microscopic and sometimes totally virtual landscape of subatomic particles, gauge fields, and the unified field. It was followed by the technical breakthrough of the atomic bomb.

Today, with nuclear technology being used by a large number of countries worldwide, the power advantage over other nations is no longer acquired through the quantity of nuclear warheads deployed. Another consideration is that it is probably just of matter of time before terrorists use nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction. Dwelling on these levels of technology prevents Sri Lanka’s civilian and military leaders from taking the next step towards deploying an even more powerful and influential technology. Sri Lanka needs to make a similar epistemological leap that led to the conceptualization of the nuclear bomb. What is the nature of this leap?

When scientists deal with the finest level of physical existence (paramanu), they actually deal with an object that is intrinsically subjective, although it actually transcends the structure of cognition (paramanu = beyond the mind). A basic, but generally ignored, fact is that physicists themselves are made of matter: molecules, atoms, subatomic particles, gauge fields, and the unified field. When scientists investigate these levels, they eventually begin to explore the basic fabrics of their own physical being down to the finest subnuclear level-the unified field, an area of unlimited potential.

Modern biophysicists say that the matter of our body is constantly emerging from and returning to that field. Some theoretical physicists go as far as to claim that the unified field is a non-material field of pure intelligence. [iii] These physicists assert that modern science had opened access to a new objective reality. However, the very nature of the fragmented approach (fission technologies) of modern physics seems to shut the door to the direct experience and utilization of the unified field. [iv] In contrast, Maharishi and other scientists believe that the consciousness technologies of the Vedic tradition, in particular the TM and TM-Sidhi programme, provide the subjective experience of this reality.

Heisenberg’s and Einstein’s attempts to bridge the gap between subject and object and to arrive at a holistic meaning of science had remained incomplete. This is likely due to these scientists’ lack of a means for easily, naturally-and reproducibly the unified field within themselves. Maharishi and other scientists benefited from the leap in world consciousness to a new readiness for authentic experience in the early 60’s. Hiroshima was the climax of the half-vision of the quantum scientists. In the 1970’s, Maharishi felt the time was ripe to speak of dropping a “bomb of silence behind the enemy lines.”

The objective cognition of the unified field outside the observer has no effect other than duly exciting him about his scientific achievement for a limited amount of time. On the other hand, the authentic experience of the field of pure consciousness within the observer creates a distinct mode of physiological and mental functioning. In this state, one finds a measurable easing of stress and structural distortions in the individual body and mind, and a heightening of awareness. Applying this awareness will enable the MoD of Sri Lanka to create a new evolutionary dimension of conflict resolution and prevention.

Humanity still has not taken a definite path at the nuclear crossroads. Down one path, we have a nuclear war technology disrupting the finest levels of matter. Down another path, we have an inner technology that creates a coherent and unifying influence, first in the individual mind and then, through a process of synergy, in collective consciousness, disallowing an enemy from arising. Research on the Maharishi Effect (discussed below) has shown this approach to be a very useful one.

A Sociological Quantum Leap

In 1974, the American sociologists Borland and Landrith [v] published a research paper in the United States on the effects of group meditation on collective consciousness. They claimed that in communities in which 1% of the population practiced the Transcendental Meditation technique, negative trends such as crime, traffic accidents, and hospital admissions decreased. [vi] On a larger scale, this was confirmed in the following years by research in war zones. [vii] The phenomenon was called the 1% Effect or the Maharishi Effect after the founder of the Transcendental Meditation programme. This trigger effect of small numbers is familiar to several branches of science: medicine, which acknowledges pacemaker cells that compose about 1% of an organism and assure the coherent contraction and relaxation of the heart muscles; and physics, where about 1% of phase-coherent light waves causes a transition to the laser effect.

The Transcendental Two-Pronged Approach

Two-pronged battle plans have a long history in the art of war. The battle against war and terrorism could likely be won in exactly the same way:

  • On a tactical level, military personnel instructed in the simple technique of Transcendental Meditation in the course of their general training [vii i] can be deployed without any additional logistics. The immediate effect would be improved mental and physical stability, increased clarity of mind, and enhanced social intelligence of the “front line” personnel. (A paper published by India Defence Consultants summarizing research that documents such individual benefits is available at: http://www.indiadefence.com/SupremeMilitaryi.htm.)
  • On a strategic level, long-term planning of a global peacebuilding force stationed in Sri Lanka itself would include a group of approximately 10,000 [ix] participants to be recruited from existing meditating military personnel, who would receive additional training in the TM-Sidhi programme. Performing the group dynamics of consciousness twice a day in a group, in one location, preferably in a place in central Sri Lanka, this group would produce a coherence-enhancing field effect not only in Sri Lanka, but also for the world’s collective consciousness as a whole, preventing the accumulation of disorderly and weakening tendencies that destabilize national integrity and invite foreign aggression. [x] 10,000 participants are well over the square root of 1% of the world’s population, which should induce the Maharishi Effect worldwide.
  • The additional cost for introducing the Transcendental Meditation Programme is approximately 500 Sri Lankan rupees per person, and an additional 1300 rupees per person for the TM-Sidhi Programme. This means approximately 18.25 million Sri Lanka rupees for teaching the entire group. But even at that relatively small cost, one should ask the question: What precisely can the MoD of Sri Lanka expect from this technology?

The results predicted on the basis of reduced trait anxiety, greater acuity of perception and more comprehensive cognition, increased field independence and stronger internal standards [xi] are:

  • Significantly improved listening skills, leading to:
  • More comprehensive decision-making, leading to:
  • Enhanced cooperation with former adversaries, leading to:
  • Improved cultural communication, and
  • Trouble-free multi-purpose deployment of resources.

Improved listening skills alone will have enormous consequences in all areas of the armed forces of Sri Lanka and even on a national level. Should the technology be implemented, then whenever military, trade, or policy strategists are invited to describe Sri Lanka’s new attitude, the answer will invariably be that Sri Lanka has learned to listen, and react in harmony with the global community.

The Sri Lankan government draws its decisions from the collective consciousness. The more coherent the collective consciousness, the more coherent the government.

Terrorist attacks will stop only when minds are freed from stress, are less cluttered with preconceived notions, and are ready for new input. Sri Lanka will listen to what it really needs when stress and incoherence in the collective consciousness is reduced. Listening also leads to greater coherence in action, reducing the aggression potential within the nation.

Living Up to the Vedic Ideal of Military Defence


Certainly, throughout its history, Sri Lanka has had internal squabble and conflict. Creating a new influence internally as well as globally with a technology that originates from the Vedic heritage (heyam duhkham anagatam– avert the danger that has not yet come) would have a unifying influence on the originator and help lift the shadow of Sri Lanka’s current struggles.

Conclusion


The study of history reveals that promoters of innovations have one common trait: they flush the enemy of all armies out of its cover. The greatest threat to all militaries is the enemy within. The enemy within is the belief that greater quantities of known material or the intensification of established methods will result in victory. “Victory”, wrote General Giulio Douhet in his then groundbreaking book on aerial warfare, The Command of the Air, “smiles upon those who anticipate the change in the character of war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes occur.” [xii] The Stone Age did not come to an end because of the lack of stones, but because something better entered the field of our awareness. If Sri Lanka acts now, the same will happen to the bomb age.

Today a pioneering international group of retired, reserve and active duty senior military officers and defence experts are anticipating another new change in the character of war, and providing all the world’s militaries with a definitive defence strategy. [xii] This group includes Major General Kulwant Singh, Lieutenant General José Martí Villamil, Major General G.H. Israni, Major General D.D. Ghoshal, Major General K.K. Ganguly, Major General G.K. Sahney, Colonel S.P. Bakshi, Colonel Brian Rees, Lieutenant Colonel Gunter Chassé, Lieutenant Colonel Jitendra Jung Karki, Lieutenant Colonel Richard Neate and former military aide to President Ronald W. Reagan and President George H. Bush U.S. Coast Guard Captain Raymond Seebald.

These experienced military leaders advocate the deployment of Prevention Wings of the Military to reduce collective social stress. Director Singh said, “A military response [to terrorism] is no response at all, because it does not get at the root cause of terrorism. Terrorism is a human problem, and it requires a human solution. Any retaliation will only make the terrorists harder. We cannot kill terrorism by any means other than prevention.” [xiv] As directors of the programme, these leaders are charged with the responsibility for promoting this invincible defence strategy in the near future to prevent war, terrorism and political violence.

If they succeed, paradoxically, militaries will move forward by looking backward to ancient Vedic high culture whose principle military tenet was heyam duhkham anagatam – the prevention of suffering before it emerged. According to The Ramayana of Valmiki the city of “Ayodhya abounded in warriors undefeated in battle, fearless and skilled in the use of arms…” [xv] However, soon more military scientists of the new millennium may be arguing that a more enlightened interpretation of preventive defense is warranted. Vedic literature describes the righteous stress-free lifestyle of the inhabitants of ancient Ayodhya. Add this to the knowledge of the field effects of consciousness (gained from extensive modern scientific research conducted on the Maharishi Effect), and we see that Ayodhya’s first line of preventive defense was likely created by the purity of the inhabitants’ collective consciousness. This collective consciousness “…the brilliance of which…” according to Valmiki, “…spread for four miles…[made Ayodhya]…worthy of its name” [‘The City none can challenge in warfare’]. [xvi]

Through the Maharishi Effect, Sri Lanka now has the opportunity to even surpass the city of Ayodhya. It could become the nation that none can challenge in warfare. Sri Lanka could create victory before war by preventing enemies from arising. Globally, in the future, this could change the character of war and terrorism to: no enemies – no war or terrorism.

Since this paper was written, Invincible Defense Technology (IDT) has received attention from the press in Sri Lanka.

The Sri Lanka Guardian and The Bottom Line — published an editorial about IDT entitled: “A Scientifically Verified Means to End Protracted Violence in Sri Lanka” by Major General Kulwant Singh (Indian Army, Retired), Dr. John Hagelin (the Harvard-trained quantum physicist who won the prestigious Kilby Award, and appeared in the feature films The Secret and What the Bleep Do We Know?) and Dr. David Leffler. Their editorial was based on Appendix C: of the 254 page US government-sponsored report “55 Trends Now Shaping the Future of Terrorism” which is also available on the US Army War College website.

The Sri Lankan Guardian article has been mentioned by: Defence Column, Sandeshaya Blogspot – Defense News Portal and Interactive Maps – Latest and Fast Breaking news and by Sinhala. Later the Sri Lanka Guardian published an exclusive interview about with IDT expert Lt. Col. Gunter Chassé, Retired German Air Force officer.

Zusammenfassung

Die moderne Physik hat ein grundlegendes Feld reiner Intelligenz entdeckt, das in Samenform alle manifesten Zustände des Universums in sich enthält. Obwohl man aufgrund mathematischer und anderer Schlussfolgerungen seine Existenz ableiten kann, ist dieses einheitliche Feld keiner direkten Beobachtung / Messung zugänglich. Seine vereinigenden Eigenschaften können erfahren werden, wenn das Bewusstsein des Beobachters sich während der Ausübung der Transzendentalen Meditation® (TM®) und des TM-Sidhi® -Programms immer mehr verfeinert. Die Erfahrung des einheitlichen Feldes ruft einen psychophysiologischen Zustand im Beobachter hervor, der die Eigenschaften des Feldes widerspiegelt: unendlich korreliert, einheitlich, selbst-rückbezüglich und integriert /integrativ. Die Entwicklung dieser Qualitäten wird nicht durch Verhaltens- und intellektuelles Training erreicht, sondern tritt spontan auf durch die Kultivierung eines Zustandes der geringsten Anregung des Nervensystems. Die einzigartigen Ergebnisse der Transzendentalen Meditation und des TM-Sidhi-Programms wurden in über 600 Forschungsstudien dokumentiert, viele davon veröffentlicht in wissenschaftlichen Fachzeitschriften. Die Anwendung dieser ganzheitlichen Bewusstseinstechnologie befähigt das Militär, eine fortlaufende wirksame Konfliktprävention durch Aufbau eines Präventionsflügels des Militärs durchzuführen. Zusätzlich zu ihren regelmäßigen Aufgaben ruft eine solche Einheit einen erhöhten Zustand geistiger Wachheit hervor und intrinsische Friedfertigkeit als Grundlage einer unbezwingbaren, nicht-aggressiven Verteidigung und eines konstruktiven Friedensaufbaus ohne politische, wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Voreingenommenheit.

Die “Bombe der Stille”-
Unbesiegbare Verteidigungstechnologie für Sri Lanka

 

Vorwort

Ein Artikel des Defence Review Committee von Sri Lanka “Vorbereitung auf die Herausforderungen für die nationale Sicherheit im 21.Jahrhundert: Die organisatorische Dimension’ (“Preparing To Meet Challenges To National Security ‘In The 21st Century: The Organisational Dimension”) stellt fest:

Es hat bisher keine strukturierte Organisation der Höheren Verteidigung in Sri Lanka gegeben. Alles war “ad hoc”. Sogar der gegenwärtige Nationale Sicherheitsrat fällt unter das Gesetz zur Vorbeugung von Terrorismus und beschränkt sich allein auf die Bekämpfung des Terrorismus. Die gesamte Struktur muss reorganisiert werden, indem man aus den Fehlern, die gemacht wurden, lernt und die Erfahrungen der Vergangenheit als Lektionen für die Zukunft nimmt. Das Hauptziel muss es dabei sein, sich auf die Konfliktprävention zu konzentrieren, weil Konflikte Kosten an Leben und an Geld verursachen und den Fortschritt der Nation verhindern. Die Streitkräfte haben diese Aufgabe der Konfliktprävention solange wirksam ausgeführt, bis Missentscheidungen im Geheimdienst und in der militärischen Führung zu dem Konflikt des Jahres 1983 führten, der dann nahezu zwei Jahrzehnte lang zum Schaden des Volkes andauerte [i].

Die Aufgabe, Sri Lanka zu verteidigen in einer Arena zunehmend komplexerer Operationen und Einflussfaktoren, ruft nach grundlegender Innovation. Will das Verteidigungsministerium von Sri Lanka tatsächlich sein angegebenes Ziel der “Konfliktprävention” erreichen, das in der Tat von einer ganz anderen Größenordnung ist, ist ein gleichermaßen kraftvoller Wandel hinsichtlich seines Ansatzes notwendig. Wenn alte Werkzeuge nicht mehr zur Aufgabe passen, wird ihre Umkleidung mit einer neuen Farbe nichts nützen. In ähnlicher Weise benötigt Sri Lanka neue Instrumente und nicht einfach nur neue Anstreichfarben, um eine stabile Verteidigung aufzubauen. Die auf der Humanressource gründende Technologie der “Bomben der Stille” soll dem Verteidigungsministerium (VM) von Sri Lanka derartige wichtige neue Instrumente gebe.

Diese essentiellen Werkzeuge sind das Programm der Transzendentalen Meditation und seine Aufbauprogramm, das TM-Sidhi-Programm. Das TM-Programm ist eine einfach, leicht erlernbare, nicht-religiöse Meditationstechnik. Der Physiker und Vedische Gelehrte Maharishi Mahesh Yogi hat diese Programme aus der uralten Vedischen Tradition neu belebt. Über 600 wissenschaftliche Studien an wissenschaftlichen Forschungseinrichtungen in allen Teilen der Welt wurden über diese Programme durchgeführt. Die ausgedehnte, umfassende Forschung hat gezeigt, dass diese Programme Stress – individuell und kollektiv – beseitigen können. [ii]

Die der “Bombe der Stille” zugrundeliegende Physik

Bis zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts galt als die grundlegendste Schicht im Aufbau der Natur, die westliche Physiker theoretisch erfassen konnten, die des Atoms (griech.: “a-tomos” = un-teilbar). Das Atom wurde als Baustein der Schöpfung angesehen. Dann jedoch kam es zu einem Quantensprung im Paradigma – als man erkannte, dass das Atom sich doch teilen ließ. Dieser Sprung offenbarte – wie durch eine Zaubertür – eine sub-mikroskopische und teilweise total virtuelle Landschaft subatomarer Teilchen, Eichfelder und des einheitlichen Feldes. Was auf diese Entdeckung folgte, war der technische Durchbruch der Atombombe.

Heute mit der Nukleartechnik, die von einer großen Anzahl von Ländern weltweit genutzt wird; kann man nicht mehr von einem Machtvorteil sprechen, den man aufgrund der Menge an eigenen Nuklearsprengköpfen gegenüber anderen Nationen besitzt. Zudem ist es wohl nur eine Frage der Zeit, bevor Terroristen Nuklearwaffen und andere Waffen der Massenvernichtung einsetzen. Bei diesen Ebenen der Technologie stehen zu bleiben, hindert die zivilen und militärischen Führer Sri Lankas daran, den nächsten Schritt zu tun und eine sogar noch mächtigere und einflussreichere Technologie einzusetzen. Sri Lanka muss einen ähnlich großen erkenntnistheoretischen Sprung tun, wie er zur Planung der Atombombe notwendig war. Was kennzeichnet diesen Sprung?

Als Wissenschaftler sich der Erforschung der feinsten Ebene der materiellen Existenz (paramanu) zuwandten, befassten sie sich tatsächlich mit einem Objekt, das intrinsisch subjektiv ist, obwohl es andererseits tatsächlich die Struktur der Kognition, des Erkennens selbst, transzendiert (paramanu = jenseits des Geistes). Eine grundlegende – jedoch häufig ignorierte – Tatsache ist es, dass Physiker selber aus Materie gemacht sind: Molekülen, Atomen, subatomaren Teilchen, Eichfeldern und – letztendlich ­- dem einheitlichen Feld. Wenn Wissenschaftler diese Ebenen untersuchen, beginnen sie damit auch die grundlegenden Fasern ihres eigenen materiellen Seins bis hin zur feinsten subnuklearen Ebene – dem einheitlichen Feld – zu erforschen, einem Bereich unbegrenzten Potentials. Moderne Biophysiker gehen heute davon aus, dass die Materie unseres Körpers ständig aus diesem Feld entsteht und wieder in ihm aufgeht. Einige theoretische Physiker gehen sogar so weit, dass sie das einheitliche Feld als ein nicht-materielles Feld reiner Intelligenz ansehen. [iii] Diese Physiker haben darauf hingewiesen, dass die moderne Wissenschaft sich damit den Zugang zu einer neuen objektiven Wirklichkeit eröffnet habe.

Die eigentliche Natur des bruchstückhaften, zur Segmentierung tendierenden Ansatzes der modernen Physik (siehe Theorien der Kern”spaltung”) führte dazu, dass lange Zeit die Physiker selber die Tür verschlossen vor der Möglichkeit einer direkten Erfahrung und Nutzung des einheitlichen Feldes. [iv] Maharishi und andere Wissenschaftler vertraten im Kontrast zu dieser Position die Auffassung, dass die Bewusstseinstechniken der Vedischen Tradition, insbesondere das TM- und das TM-Sidhi-Programm, die direkte subjektive Erfahrung dieser Wirklichkeit ermöglichen.

Heisenbergs und Einsteins Bemühungen, eine Brücke zwischen Subjekt und Objekt zu schlagen und eine ganzheitlichere Sicht der Physik zu begründen, waren unvollständig geblieben. Dies lag vor allem daran, dass es diesen Wissenschaftlern an Mitteln oder geeigneten Methodiken mangelte, wie man das einheitliche Feld auf einfache, natürlich und reproduzierbare Weise in sich zu lokalisieren vermag. Maharishi hingegen und weitere Forscher zogen Nutzen aus einem Paradigmenwandel im Weltbewusstsein, der sich bereits in den früheren 60er Jahren vollzogen hatte und dazu führte, dass der authentischen Erfahrung ein neuer Platz – auch in den Wissenschaften – eingeräumt wurde. Hiroshima war der Höhepunkt einer noch gebrochenen, nur halbherzigen Vision der Quantenwissenschaftler. In den 70er Jahren befand Maharishi die Zeit als reif dafür, einen neue Terminologie einzuführen und nunmehr davon zu sprechen, dass es möglich sei, eine “Bombe aus Stille hinter den Feindeslinien fallen zu lassen”.

Die objektive Kenntnis und theoretische Auseinandersetzung mit dem einheitlichen Feld als einer außerhalb des Beobachters existierenden Wirklichkeit hat keinen anderen Nutzeffekt für den Forscher als ihn für eine begrenzte Zeitdauer in Erregung über diese seine Entdeckung zu setzen. Auf der anderen Seite ruft aber die authentische Erfahrung des Feldes des reinen Bewusstseins als einer innerhalb des Beobachters angesiedelten Wirklichkeit einen einzigartigen und durch spezifische Charakteristika gekennzeichneten Stil der physiologischen und mentalen Funktionen hervor. In diesem Zustand erfährt man eine messbare Milderung von Stress und von strukturellen Beeinträchtigungen und Störungen in Körper und Geist sowie ein erhöhtes Bewusstsein. Die Anwendung dieses Bewusstseinskann das VM von Sri Lanka befähigen, in eine neue evolutionäre Dimension der Konfliktlösung und Prävention einzutreten.

Die Menschheit hat sich noch nicht für eine klare Richtung an der nuklearen Weggabelung entschieden. Die eine Straße hinunter haben wir eine Atomkrieg-Technologie, die die feinsten Mikroebenen der Materie auseinanderreißt. Die andere Straße hinunter verfügen wir über eine Technik, die einen kohärenten und vereinigenden Einfluss zunächst im Geist des Individuums und dann über Synergie-Effekte auch im kollektiven Bewusstsein erzeugt und dadurch das Entstehen eines Feindes, das Aufkommen von destruktiver Feindseligkeit, verhindert.Ausgedehnte Forschungen über den Maharishi-Effekt (wie unten erörtert) hat diesen Ansatz alsaußerordentlich nützlich herausgestellt.

Ein soziologischer Quantensprung

Im Jahre 1974 veröffentlichten die amerikanischen Soziologen Borland und Landrith [v] eine wissenschaftliche Arbeit in den Vereinigten Staaten über die Wirkung von Gruppenmeditation auf das kollektive Bewusstsein. Sie stellten die Hypothese auf, dass in Gemeinden und Stadtpopulationen, in denen 1% der Bevölkerung die Technik der Transzendentalen Meditation ausübt, negative Trends wie Kriminalität, die Unfallsrate und die Zahl der Krankenhauseinweisungen abnehmen. [vi] Dies wurde in den darauf folgenden Jahren – nun jedoch noch weiter in ganz anderen soziologischen Größenordnungen – durch Studien in Regionen mit akuten Kriegshandlungen bestätigt. [vii] Das Phänomen ging als der 1%-Effekt oder Maharishi-Effekt nach dem Begründer des Programms der Transzendentalen Meditation in die Wissenschaftsgeschichte ein. Dieser “Trigger”-Effekt von kleinen Anzahlen ist in verschiedenen Zweigen der Naturwissenschaften länger schon bekannt: in der Medizin etwa im Beispiel von Schrittmacherzellen, die an die 1 % eines Organsystems ausmachen und etwa die Kontraktion und Entspannung der Herzmuskeln sicherstellen, oder in der Physik, wo etwa 1 % phasenkohärenter Lichtwellen den Phasenübergang zum Lasereffekt hervorrufen. [vii]

Der transzendentale Doppelansatz

Doppelangriffe oder Zwei-Flanken-Strategien haben eine lange Tradition in der Kunst der Kriegsführung. Der Kampf gegen Krieg und Terrorismus könnte gleichfalls durch einen Doppelansatz gewonnen werden:

  • Auf der taktischen Ebene kann das Militärpersonal in der einfachen Technik der Transzendentalen Meditation im Zuge der allgemeinen Grundausbildung [viii i] ohne weitere zusätzliche Logistik ausgebildet werden. Der unmittelbare Effekt wäre verbesserte geistige und körperliche Stabilität, erhöhte geistige Klarheit, verbesserte soziale Intelligenz des Militärpersonals an der “vordersten Front”. (Eine Arbeit, die von der Zeitschrift India Defence Consultants veröffentlicht wurde, fasst Forschungsstudien zusammen, die den positiven Nutzen für das Individuum dokumentieren. Sie ist einsehbar auf folgender Internetseite: http://davidleffler.com/2001/idc1/)
  •           Auf der strategischen Ebene würde eine langfristige Planung den Aufbau einer globalen friedensbildenden Streitmacht, die in Sri Lanka stationiert ist, eine Gruppe von cirka 10 000 [ix] Teilnehmern umfassen, welche aus dem bereits schon bestehenden meditierenden Militärpersonal rekrutiert werden könnten und dafür eine Zusatzausbildung im TM-Sidhi-Programm erhalten. Diese Einheit würde die Gruppendynamik des Bewusstseins zweimal täglich gemeinsam an einem Ort ausüben, vorzugsweise einem Ort im Zentrum Sri Lankas. Die Gruppe würde nicht nur einen kohärenz-erhöhenden Feldeffekt für Sri Lanka schaffen, sondern darüber hinaus bereits für das kollektive Bewusstsein der Welt als Ganzes wirksam werden. Sie würde der Ansammlung ungeordneter (destruktiver) und schwächender Tendenzen, die die nationale Einheit destabilisieren und ausländische Aggression einladen, vorbeugen [x]. 10 000 Teilnehmer liegen bereits schon über dem Schwellenwert aus der Quadratwurzel von 1% der Weltbevölkerung und sollten damit den weltweiten Maharishi-Effekt ins Leben rufen.
  • Die zusätzlichen Kosten für die Einführung des Programms der Transzendentalen Meditation liegen bei etwa 500 Sri Lanka-Rupis pro Person und zusätzlichen 1300 Rupis pro Person für das TM-Sidhi-Programm. Somit würden sich die Kosten für die Unterweisung der gesamten Gruppe für Sri Lanka auf etwa 18,25 Millionen Sri Lanka-Rupis belaufen. Aber auch bei derartig geringen Kosten muß die Frage gestellt werden: Was genau ist es, was das VM der Regierung von Sri Lanka erwarten kann von dieser Technologie?

Die Ergebnisse – die man auf der Grundlage von verringerter “Trait Anxiety” (Fachterminus für Angst als Eigenschaft), größerer Schärfe der Wahrnehmung und umfassenderen kognitiven Leistungen, sowie erhöhter Feldunabhängigkeit und stärkeren inneren (Werte- und anderen) Standards vorhersagen kann [xi], sind:

  • signifikant verbesserte Fähigkeit des Zuhörens, die resultiert in:
  • signifikant verbesserte Fähigkeit des Zuhörens, die resultiert in:
  • verbesserter und umfassenderer Entscheidungsfindung, die führt zu:
  • verbesserter Zusammenarbeit und Kooperation mit früheren Gegnern, was wiederum führt zu:
  • verbesserter kultureller Kommunikation und
  • ärgerfreier Viel-Zweck-Nutzung von Ressourcen.

Allein die verbesserte Fähigkeiten des Zuhörens würden schon für sich enorme Konsequenzen in allen Bereichen der Streitkräfte von Sri Lanka und darüber hinaus auch auf der nationalen Ebene des gesamtgesellschaftlichen Ganzen haben. Würde diese Technologie eingeführt, so würde – wo immer sich das Militär-, Handelsstrategen oder auch hochrangige Politiker auf Kongressen und Tagungen treffen und eingeladen wären, Sri Lankas neue Haltung zu beschreiben – ohne Ausnahme mit lobender Anerkennung erwähnt werden, dass Sri Lanka gelernt habe, zuzuhören und in Harmonie mit der Weltgemeinschaft zu handeln und zu reagieren.

Sri Lankas Regierung zieht ihre Entscheidungen aus dem kollektiven Bewusstsein. Je kohärenter das kollektive Bewusstsein, desto kohärenter die Regierung. Terroristische Akte und Übergriffe werden nur aufhören, wenn die Psychologie der gesamten Bevölkerung von Stress freier und weniger eingenommen von Vorurteilen ist sowie bereit ist für neue Angebote und Anregungen. Sri Lanka selbst wird mehr auf das horchen, was es wirklich braucht, wenn Stress und Inkohärenz im kollektiven Bewusstsein verringert werden. Zuhören führt auch zu größerer Kohärenz im Handeln und vermindert das Aggressionspotential in der Nation.

Dem Vedischen Ideal militärischer Verteidigung gerecht werden

Sicherlich gab es in der Geschichte Sri Lankas viel Zwistigkeiten und Konflikte. Die Schaffung eines neuen Einflusses – intern sowie auch global – mit einer Technologie, die aus dem Vedischen Erbe kommt (heyam duhkham anagatam – Vermeide die Gefahr, die noch nicht gekommen ist) würde dennoch einen vereinigenden Effekt bei denUrsprungsparteien haben und den Schatten zu heben helfen, der über Sri Lankas gegenwärtigen Kämpfen liegt.

Zusammenfassung

Das Studium der Geschichte offenbart, dass die Förderer von Innovationen einen gemeinsamen Charakterzug besaßen: Sie trieben die Feinde jeglicher Couleur und aller Streitkräften aus ihrer Deckung. Die größte Bedrohung für alle Militärs ist der Feind im Innern. Der eigentliche Feind im Innern ist der Glaube, dass größere Quantitäten von bereits Bekanntem oder die Intensivierung etablierter Methoden in Sieg resultieren werden. “Der Sieg”, so schrieb General Giulio Douhet in seinem grundlegenden Werk über die Kriegsführung im Luftraum, The Command of the Air, “lächelt jenen zu, die den Wandel im Charakter des Krieges antizipieren, nicht jenen die zaghaft darauf warten, sich erst dann anzupassen, wenn der Wandel schon stattgefunden hat.” [xii]

Das Steinzeitalter kam nicht wegen eines Mangels an Steinen zu seinem geschichtlichen Ende, sondern weil etwas Besseres in das Feld der Wahrnehmung getreten war. Wenn Sri Lanka jetzt handelt, wird dasselbe mit dem Bombenzeitalter geschehen.

Heute befasst sich eine Pioniergruppe internationaler Experten aus pensionierten Senior-Militäroffizieren und Verteidigungsexperten mit einem neuen bevorstehenden Wandel im Charakter der Kriege und liefert den Militärspitzen der gesamten Welt eine definitive Verteidigungsstrategie. [xii] Diese Gruppe schließt ein: Generalmajor Kulwant Singh, Generalleutnant José Martí Villamil, Generalmajor G.H. Israni, Generalmajor D.D. Ghoshal, Generalmajor K.K. Ganguly, Generalmajor G.K. Sahney, Colonel S.P. Bakshi, Colonel Brian M. Rees, Oberstleutnant a.D. Gunter Chassé und Oberstleutnant Jitendra Jung Karki.

Diese erfahrenen militärischen Führungskräfte setzen sich für die Einrichtung eines Vorbeugeflügels in den Streitkräften ein, um kollektiven gesellschaftlichen Stress zu vermindern. Direktor Singh führt dazu aus: “Eine militärische Antwort [auf den Terrorismus] ist keine Antwort, zumindestens keine adäquate Antwort, weil sie nicht an der Wurzelursache des Terrorismus ansetzt. Terrorismus ist ein menschliches Problem und erfordert eine menschliche Lösung. Jeder Entgeltungsschlag wird die Terroristen nur noch mehr verhärten und radikalisieren. Wir können den Terrorismus nicht anders töten als durch Vorbeugung.” [xiv] Als Direktoren des Programms tragen diese Führungskräfte die Verantwortung für die Bekanntmachung und weitere vertiefende Erörterung der unbesiegbaren Verteidigungsstrategie für die unmittelbare Zukunft, um kriegen vorzubeugen, Terrorismus und politischer Gewalt.

Wenn sie erfolgreich damit sind, werden die militärischen Streitkräfte – etwas paradox – nach vorne schreiten, indem sie rückwärts schauen, zurück nämlich auf die uralte Vedische Hochkultur, deren militärischer Grundsatz lautete: heyam duhkham anagatam – Vorbeugung von Leiden, solange es noch nicht aufgetreten ist. Gemäß des Ramayana von Valmiki besaß die Stadt “Ayodhya eine Vielzahl von Kriegern, ausgebildet in allen Kriegskünsten, unschlagbar im Kampf, furchtlos und in den Waffenkünsten erfahren…” [xv] Bald jedoch schon könnten es mehr Militärwissenschaftler sein, die in diesem neuen Jahrtausend argumentieren, dass eine erleuchtetere Interpretation präventiver Verteidigung erforderlich ist. Die Vedische Literatur beschreibt den rechtschaffenen, stressfreien Lebensstil der Einwohner des alten Ayodhyas. Nehmen Sie dies zusammen mit dem Wissen von den Feldeffekten des Bewusstseins (gewonnen aus extensiver moderner wissenschaftlicher Forschung, die über den Maharishi-Effekt durchgeführt wurde) – und schon sieht man, dass die “erste Linie” präventiver Verteidigung in Ayodhya jene Wirkung war, die durch die Reinheit des kollektiven Bewusstseins seiner Bewohner erzeugt wurde. Dieses kollektive Bewusstsein, “dessen Glanz.” gemäß Valmiki “sich vier Meilen weit ausdehnte…[machte Ayodhya]…zu einer Stadt, die ihren Namen zu Recht verdiente” [‘Die Stadt, die keiner zum Krieg herausfordern konnte’]. [xvi] Durch den Maharishi-Effekt hat Sri Lanka nun die Gelegenheit, sogar die Stadt Ayodhya noch zu übertreffen. Es könnte die Nation werden, die niemand zum Krieg herausfordern kann Sri Lanka könnte den Sieg schaffen vor dem Krieg, indem es überhaupt verhütet, dass Feinde sich gegen es erheben. Weltweit könnte dies in der Zukunft den Charakter von Kriegen and Terrorismus verändern: keine Feinde – dann auch kein Krieg oder Terrorismus.
