Australia Needs a Defence System Beyond "Extended Deterrence"

Australia Needs a Defence System Beyond “Extended Deterrence

By Dr. John Hagelin and Dr. David Leffler

US President Barack Obama has successfully piloted a resolution in the UN Security Council, calling upon all nations to become ‘non-nuclear weapons states.’ He spoke of the need for “new strategies and new approaches” to reach the goal and asked every country to play a part. What can Australia do?

According to an article published in ON LINE Opinion by Sue Wareham titled: “A nuclear challenge to the world,” Australia still clings to the dangerous and out-of-date Cold War policy of “extended deterrence.” She points out that Australia’s 2009 Defence White Paper* states: “For so long as nuclear weapons exist, we are able to rely on the nuclear forces of the United States to deter nuclear attack on Australia.” Therefore, she argues that “Australia remains complicit with the global threat posed by weapons of mass destruction.”

The authors agree that elimination of nuclear weapons represent a good step. However, it is a step unlikely to be taken in the present polarized, high-tension political climate. Why? For instance, India is in the news lately because it wants to keep its nuclear weapons. India feared its nuclear-armed neighbors, so it has acquired nuclear weapons to serve as deterrence against attack. Similarly, because Pakistan feared India, it developed nuclear weapons. A similar situation exists in Iran: it feared Israel so it seeks to acquire nuclear weapons. South Korea relies on the United States to deter nuclear attack from North Korea. North Korea has acquired nuclear weapons to counter the perceived threat of the US arsenal.

The word “deterrence” comes from the Latin root meaning “fear.” In theory, a country deters war by instilling fear in potential enemies. To this end, the nuclear weapons states have amassed tremendous destructive potential. While nuclear warheads may incite fear in potential foes, the same fear encourages other countries to acquire nuclear weapons as well, further inflaming regional tensions and hatred. For this reason, no country committed to defence primarily through destructive power is likely to generate a sustainable peace.

Diplomacy and economic sanctions alone have not sufficed to resolve the fear crisis – driven by human behavioral dynamics that remain beyond the control of such methods of persuasion 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. Today the military of Australia has an opportunity to address this fundamental cause of war by deploying a new, scientifically verified technology of defence beyond nuclear weapons.

A New Solution

A proven new technology of defence is now available – a technology of national security, fully capable of defending Australia 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 defence 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 defence.

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 atomic nucleus, and 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 defence based upon the unified field is of historic importance. It is already changing the whole science and technology of defence.

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 defence 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 defence, is easily overwhelmed and rendered obsolete through a technology of the unified field. And it is just such a technology that Australia 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 Program: Accessing the Unified Field Within

This capability of this unified field-based defence 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 Defence 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 Australia 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.

Transcendental Meditation Is Not a Religion

People from all religious backgrounds practice the Transcendental Meditation program and appreciate how it has enhanced their faith. For instance:

Father Cletus Stein writes:

“I am a retired Catholic priest who practices Transcendental Meditation (TM) and did so while I served in the Catholic Church for about 30 years. Based on my own experience, I know that TM is a universal technique that is in harmony with the goals of our religion. It requires no change in personal lifestyle or beliefs and is an effective aid for us to become stronger in our own faith. Transcendental Meditation has enhanced my own religious practice and has been a great way for me to relax and become more alert for my work and my life as a whole…It is my experience that TM is an excellent way to prepare for prayer… Meditation has been encouraged by the Church over the ages and by the saints, including the writer of the Cloud of Unknowing, St. Teresa of Avila, St. John of the Cross, and many others. TM is a proven technique for joining them in meditation.”

B. Budhacharan, a Buddhist, writes:

“I was born in Thailand where more than 95% of the 64 million citizens follow their faith and believe in Lord Buddha’s teaching. Being a Buddhist, we were told to practice compassion and kindness to all beings in our daily life and, in return, one can enjoy a happy and fulfilled life.”

“In 1970, I learned a mental technique called Transcendental Meditation (TM) taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. The practice was very easy, natural and brought rapid development of the spiritual values in heart and mind. It was neither concentration nor contemplation but a simple technique that uses the natural tendency of the mind to move towards inner peace. After some time, I found this technique was exactly described in Buddhism as Nirodha Smadhi (free from suffering).”

“After some years, I learned the advanced technique called the Transcendental Meditation-Sidhi program that corresponds in Buddhism to the principle of Brahma Vihar that is associated with culturing compassion and loving kindness. My experiences, and those of many others around the world, have confirmed that the practice of the Transcendental Meditation and the Transcendental Meditation-Sidhi programs are completely in line with mainstream Buddhist teachings.”

Miral Shaaban, a veiled Muslim who lives in Cairo, Egypt, writes:

“I cannot ever forget the first time I prayed after my first meditation. I learned the TM technique in December of 2006: I was speechless and cannot explain this state of complete serenity, contentment and gratitude for God. TM increased my level of acceptance and appreciation for my faith and strengthened my beliefs.” She also reported that “reading from the Qur’an is becoming more enjoyable and comforting at the same time, as now I can better link its teachings with everything around me: my level of comprehension of its meanings are increasing on a daily basis…The great value of TM is that it deepens and expands one’s level of consciousness, so that one can begin to more fully grasp and live the deeper meanings and values of one’s own religion. This truth reminds me of the teaching from the holy Qur’an that offers great knowledge in the form of a question: ‘Are those who know and those who know not on the same level?’ Obviously, the answer is no.”

Atmane Kouider, Ph.D., a practicing Muslim and teacher of the TM program who lives in Algiers, Algeria, reported:

“Among all the people to whom I taught the TM technique, I have never heard of anyone who gave up his Islamic practice after learning TM; but, I have heard of many individuals, born Muslim, who adopted Islamic practice after learning the TM program. God states in His Holy Qur’an: ‘Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change that which is in their own self.’ Here, in TM, is a scientifically validated program for changing our inner condition to harmony and all good. Let us adopt it to improve that which is in our own self and deserve God’s Mercy and Grace for ourselves and every living being.”

Rabbi Michael Shevack of the Bucks County Free Synagogue in Point Pleasant, Pennsylvania, commented on his experience of the TM program with reference to his practice of Judaism:

“There is a common misconception amongst many different ‘western’ religions, mainly Judaism, Christianity and Islam, that Transcendental Meditation is a form of some kind of Hindu worship and is therefore pagan. Based on my direct experience with the TM technique, I can clearly say that this idea is a misunderstanding and is simply not true.”

“In fact, my experience as a TM practitioner, since the age of 17 (I am now 55) has proven just the opposite. At first I was attracted to TM as a way to reduce stress, and was very excited by the hundreds of studies that demonstrated it having a positive effect on lowering stress, blood pressure and improving generally well-being, both mental and physical. However, as I practiced TM, I found that these benefits were actually mere ‘byproducts’ of the experience.”

“I found that I was opening, day after day, meditation after meditation, to what I considered to be a deep spiritual experience. Such an experience was not ‘other worldly,’ nor did it belong to ‘another religion.’ Such an experience was deeply rooted in the practical day to day experiences of life, and as such, became deeply integrated with the practice of my day to day Judaism. I found that TM opened me up to intuitive insights and understandings which helped ‘make sense’ of my Jewish practice; it made the observance of my own faith increasingly alive and spiritually vibrant…Based on my experience, I can say that there is nothing to fear about TM. If you are Christian, it will make you more Christian. If you are Jewish, it will make you more Jewish. If you are Muslim, it will make you more Muslim. Due to the growing appreciation of one’s own faith through TM, one does not seek out other religions; one becomes fulfilled in one’s own.”

“Lastly, as a leader in inter-religious dialogue, who has worked with many of the world’s noble religions, I believe that TM can provide a doorway to a common spiritual understanding and experience that can help bring about, and speed, the development of mutual respect and understanding of the world’s religions, by deepening and enlivening the universal spiritual foundation upon which they are all based.”

“In short, it is a fast, effective, universal approach to peace.”

The Prevention Wings

A Prevention Wing of the Military would be the ideal way to achieve this goal. Less than 1% of the military of Australia would be in this wing. 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.

The Maharishi Effect

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, Australia has a population of approximately 21.7 million, and 21,616,400 x 0.01 = 216,164. The square root of 216,164 is approximately 465. So a group of at least 465 IDT experts would be needed. However, an even larger group would be safer because engineers who build structures for maximum human safety regularly “over-engineer” their creations out of concern for unanticipated variables. (Click to access an online “Square Root of One Percent of the Population” calculator for other countries.)

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.

Invincible Defense Technology experts in Washington, DC,
Invincible Defense Technology experts gathered in Washington, DC, lowering the crime rate 24%

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 24 percent below the predicted level when the peace-creating group reached its maximum size. 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 has shown that is produces feelings of contentment, happiness and even euphoria (Journal of Social Behavior and Personality, Walton et al 2005, 17: 339-373). 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.

IDT Group Size vs. Quality of Life in Israel

Quality of life in Israel, including intensity of the conflict in Lebanon, improves in direct proportion to the number of participants in the coherence-creating group. Journal of Conflict Resolution, 32(4), 776–812. Quality of life in Israel improved and intensity of the conflict in Lebanon decreased in direct proportion to the number of Invincible Defense Technology experts in the coherence-creating group (Journal of Conflict Resolution, 1988, vol. 32, #4, pp. 776-812). Editor’s Note Update: Listen to Huffpost Live TV: A Solution for Terrorism: a televised interview with Dr. John Hagelin, Bob Roth, and Col. Brian Rees, M.D., December 16, 2015 (30:00) for a explanation of the importance of this peer-reviewed research.

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, 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

This approach utilizes large groups of peace-creating experts practicing ancient technologies of consciousness that harness the most powerful level of nature’s functioning – the unified field described by superstring theory. Research published in peer-reviewed journals indicates that such groups can effectively defuse and prevent social problems like crime, war and terrorism.

No Enemies Means No War

Today, the only way to assure national security and invincibility is to be a nation without enemies. Every military strategist will confirm that conventional means of defence 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 defence 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.

On the left, an external magnetic field penetrates
an ordinary conductor whose electrons behave in a chaotic or disorderly
way.
On the right, the external magnetic field is excluded from the interior of a super-conductor whose electrons function in a coherent collective manner—invincibility. The Maharishi Effect creates invincible “national
armor” that cannot be penetrated by the collective negativity of other
countries.

This is strategic defence. 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 defence against such electronic weaponry. The whole principle of defence 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. 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 defence 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

The military of Australia 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 Australia. 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 be 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. In addition, these technologies 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.

As part of its responsibility to protect the nation, Australia’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.

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, testifies 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.

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 Australia, 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 the confidence of the nation’s citizens increases and the economy improves as a result.

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. Australia has the opportunity today through IDT to create national security and invincibility. But the time to act is now.

Give India the Best Defence System in the World

Give India the Best Defence System in the World

By Dr. John Hagelin and Dr. David Leffler

US President Barack Obama won the prestigious Nobel Peace Prize this year just two weeks after shepherding a resolution through the 15-member UN Security Council calling upon all countries, including India, to participate in the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

The reduction or elimination of nuclear weapons is clearly an important goal. But how can this goal be achieved in today’s hate-filled, high-tension political climate? Both India and Pakistan have acquired their nuclear weapons as protection or deterrence against attack.

The word “deterrence” comes from the Latin root meaning “fear.” In theory, war is deterred by instilling fear in potential enemies, and to this end, India has amassed tremendous destructive potential. But this same fear incites other countries to acquire their own nuclear arsenals, further inflaming regional tensions and hatred. For this reason, no country committed to defence solely through destructive power is likely to generate a trust-based, peaceful atmosphere.

Diplomacy and economic sanctions likewise have not been sufficient to resolve the fear crisis – which is driven by human behavioral dynamics that cannot be controlled by such methods alone.

War and conflict are human problems requiring human solutions. The underlying cause of conflict is accumulated social stress. Today the military of India has an opportunity to address this fundamental cause of war by deploying a new, scientifically verified technology of defence beyond nuclear weapons.

A New Solution

This new technology of defence 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 defence.

Modern science has probed deeper levels of nature’s functioning, from the macroscopic world of classical physics to the underlying atomic, nuclear, and subnuclear levels, culminating in the discovery of the unified field, the unified source of the diversified laws of nature governing the universe. Because this unified field is vastly more powerful than any other level of nature’s dynamics, a technology of defence based upon the unified field is of historic importance. It is already changing the whole science and technology of defence.

Accessing the Unified Field Within

Since the unified field is the source of the objective world, its power cannot be harnessed through objective technologies. A new approach is needed-one that draws upon the world’s subjective traditions of meditation. Properly understood and property practiced, meditation throughout the ages has been a systematic technology to turn human awareness within to experience finer levels of thought, deeper levels of human intelligence that correspond to deeper levels of intelligence in nature. This inward exploration culminates in direct experience of the deepest level of consciousness – the 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 explores deeper levels of nature’s functioning and ultimately experiences the unified field at the source of thought-the field of unity at the basis of mind and matter.

The Vedic tradition of knowledge from India is the most complete and highly developed tradition of meditation in the world, yet this ancient approach of gaining knowledge and experience of the unified field has become the focus of intense scientific research over the past 50 years. The late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 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 Defence Technology (IDT) in military circles and have been successfully applied by members of many faiths to eliminate conflict in the recent past. If the military of India 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 India and Pakistan.

The military of India 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 exceeding the square root of 1% of the population of India – approximately 3,415 soldiers.

As part of its responsibility to protect the nation, India’s military is obligated to thoroughly examine realistic, scientifically proven methods for preventing war and terrorism. IDT is such a method.

군대의새로운역할 : 탄생예방

고대평화추구부활

군대의 1임무는국내외적의공격으로부터나라를온전히방어하는것이다. 많은나라에서어에목숨을잃고엄청난재원을지출하고있다. 반면적이아예준동을하지못하도록예방하는것은평화를확립하는효과적이며비용상으로도매우효과적이다. 글은군대의새로운역할을소개하고있다. 그것은적의준동미리막는예방부대이다. 고대베다전통에서유래하며무적국방기술(IDT)이라고명명된접근법은이것을지지하는과학적연구만도 50개가넘는다. 이러한연구들은목표가도달가능할뿐만아니라평화를만들고지키고확립하는도움이있음을밝혀주있다. 국가군인의 2-3퍼센트정도가자발적지원통해 IDT구성요원으로서초월명상(TM) TM-Sidhi 프로그램1훈련을받게것이다. 동료전문가검증을거친연구들은 IDT전쟁, 테러범죄에책임을지는많은사람들이겪고있는집단적사회적스트레스를경감다는사실을밝혀주고있다. 집단적스트레스가사라국가, 종교집단혹은개별테러리스트들사이에서까지긴장이없어한다. 원에기반을, 무기를쓰지않으며파괴적성질이없는기술을적용함으로써군대가사회적스트레스를경감적의준동을예방할제안하고있다.

사회스트레스와전쟁의사이클

그림1처럼전쟁에는사이클이있다. 사회적스트레스가쌓이고외교관들은서로생각의차이를해결할수가없다. 집단들은편을만들고결과적들이생겨난다. 경우군사력의강함이적들을제지하도록되어있다. 하지만그러한제지가실패하면싸우도록군대를불러들이게된다. 이것은문제를해결하는것처럼보이스트레스는여전히남고그것은미래의전쟁에불쏘시개가것이다.

저자는세계의국가사회적스트레스를감소시키는효능이입증된기술초월명상과 TM-Sidhi 프로그램을훈련받은일정한인원으로구성된예방부대창설을제안한다. 이러한무적군대모델 (그림2)에서군대는집단적사회스트레스를처리하여적을예방하거나진정시킨다. 그리하여전쟁사이클이단절이.

Figure 2: The Military Uses IDT to Break the War Cycle
Typical Military Model

강력한군사력있는나라들조차테러와전쟁그리고전쟁으로인한피해로고통받을있다. 만약그들의군사력이강하면서동시에무적이라면전쟁, 테러그리고피해는끝날것이다. 이러한맥락에서어떤군대에게적이없다면군대는무적이된다. 적이없다는것은전쟁도테러도의미한다.체계적이고반복가능한특성을고려한방법론이바로무적국방기술(IDT)이다. 기술은의식영역의장으로부터유래한이론적인설명을포함하고있다. 같이특수한심리생리학적기술일정한수로구성된개인들하면집단주변람들진정시키는효과를보이는것으로나타날있다.

초월명상(TM) 프로그램은비종교적이며신앙요구하지않는다. 그것은인도의고대베다전통에서유래한다. 마하리쉬마헤시요기는 1956초월명상세상에놓았다. 과학자들은초월명상과상급과정인 TM-Sidhi시행함으로써나타나는사회적통합성증가를마하리쉬효과”라불렀다. 마하리쉬는인구의 1%초월명상프로그램을시행하면사회전체에평화와조화가증가하리라고하였다. 외에도그는인구의 1% 제곱근집단적으로하루에번씩 TM-Sidhi 프로그램을시행한다면똑같은결과를얻을것이라고예견하였다. 렇게결과들은전문가들이면밀히검증출판된연구에서반복해서발견되었다.

무적국방기술에 대한 사회적 연구

50회가넘는과학적연구들에서IDT사회스트레스를감소시키는효과가있음을확인하고있다. 마하리쉬효과에대한연구들은다음주요전문가검증저널에발표되었다: <분쟁해결저널>, <사회지표연구>, <범죄와정의저널>, <마음과행동저널>,<국제신경과학저널>. 연구들대부분논문저자가공저자참가한논문형태로검증되며군사적폭력과공포에비롯되는전쟁억제에대한대안: 마하리쉬효과에 20연구”라는제목으로안보와정치적위험분석종합연구소(SAPRA)에서출판되었.2

과학적연구는특별한심리생리학적기술을충분한사람들이시행하기만하면테러, 전사, 부상, 분쟁수준, 범죄율사회적지표들개선발견하였다. 결과에따르면,평화적인해결의방향으로점차진전하고,전사, 부상, 전쟁의강도, 재산, 적대행동, 국제갈등, 테러유도원인등이점차감소.

미국에서 IDT통한사회적스트레스경감을보여주는눈에띄는증거하나가 <사회적지표연구>3기록되어있다. 실험은미국수도인워싱턴 DC에서이루어졌다. 내용은미리정부지도자들과신문들에게제공되었으며시계열분석방법이연구에도입되었다. 독립적인프로젝트평가원이연구기록에따르면,실험기간은 1993 6 7일에서 7 30일까지로정해졌다. 실험의주요결과로서범죄는 TM-Sidhi 그룹이최고인원에달하였을(주간자료로p < 2 x 10-9), 예견된수치보다크게23%떨어졌다. 주말효과, 온도, 자료상의이전경향은변화의원인을설명하지못했다. p수준은사회과학연구에서드물게보는수치이다.

1983레바논분쟁사태동안에, 예루살렘근처에있었던 IDT 전문가그룹의규모가변하자, 거기에따라레바논의전쟁관련사망규모가날마다변하였다. IDT 참여자의수가최고조에달하여참여자의수가이론적으로요구되는수인 1% 제곱근에이르렀을전쟁사망자는 76%감소.

레바논사태가최고조에달하였던 2년이넘는기간에시행된연속7실험에대한결과는다음과같다:

* 전쟁관련사망자 71% 감소 (p < 10-10)

* 전쟁관련부상자 68% 감소 (p < 10-6)

* 분쟁수준 48% 감소 (p < 10-8)

* 적대자들사이의협력 66% 증가 (p < 10-6)

이러한복합적결과들이우연일가능성은1019보다적으며, 이러한사실은사회스트레스와갈등을감소시키는이러한효과를사회학역사에서가장엄격하게입증된현상으로만들고있다.4

IDT효과유지는필요참여자유지에. 그림 3참여자수의변화에따른효과의변화를보여준다. 차트는 1983레바논사태동안그에상응하는이스라엘삶의변화를보여준다. 선의상호관계에서하루또는여러날에걸친지체통합아니라참여자수의변화로인한영향을조절하는평균”효과도살펴보라. y 축에서 “0”지역의인구영향을있는참여자한계치를나타낸다 (158).

Figure 3: TM Group Size Vs. Quality of Life in Israel

그림은 IDT 그룹참여숫자와 1983 8월과 9이스라엘의평화와삶의개선과정을측정한종합지표사이에통계적으로매우뚜렷한관계가있음을보여주고있다. 참여자증가하레바논에서전쟁의강도가감소하였다 (p < 10-7).

헤글린박사는하버드에서학문을달련한물리학자로 IDT관한연구들을지도. 그는과학, 기술공공정책연구소(ISTPP) 소장이다. 헤글린박사는온라인비디오로IDT 물리학에대해서상세하게설명하고있다.5

<범죄자재활저널>게재된획기적인연구하나는 TM-Sidhi 시행수가세계인구감당할치에이르면국제테러로인한사망이 72%감소보여주었다(p<.025).6 이러한모임들이 1983년에서 1985사이에개최되었다. 연구는당시세계전체에마하리쉬효과생산하는데필요한(7000)이른대규모집회의효과에대해서조사하였다. 랜드재단이제공자료를사용연구는또한국제분쟁도 32%감소음을 (p<.025).

무적국방기술 설명을 위해 제안된 인과 역학

IDT인과역학은완전히이해되고있지않다. 2005 <사회행동저널>게재된연구에서 IDT인과성을생물학적인언어로설명할것을하였다.7 강력한 신경전달 물질인 세로토닌은 행복감, 만족감, 그리고 도취감을 든다고 알려져 . 낮은 세로토닌 수준은 공격심, 비참한 기분, 폭력과 연관된다는 사실 연구에서 밝혀지고 있다. 연구는 IDT 전문가 그룹의 규모가 변하면 거기에 상응하여 인근 공동체 사람들의 세로토닌 생산이 변한다는 사실을 밝혔. 결과들이 통계학적으로 의미있게 나타 났기 때문에 연구는 전체 사회에서 공격심과 적대감 감소 설명할 있는 설득력 있는 신경생리적 역학을 제공하고 있는 셈이다.

세로토닌활동증가와코티솔감소는수행을쌓은초월명상자의경우초월의식험과연관것으로보인다. 초월명상시행행자들은초월의식을경험하그것은깨어있고, 잠자고,꿈꾸는때와분명히활동달라지는번째의식상태라고.8 초월의식상태는두뇌가통일성을과학자들은이것이통일장통일활성화다고추측한다. 분명한것은효과그룹시행을통해서확장된다는이다. 이론리학자들은자연의모든법칙의기반은통일장이라고한다. IDT근본수준에서하는것으로보인다. 그러므로이러한통일장이론을통해서명상자들의두뇌에서도통일성이증가된다. 이러한통일증가연관물질은세로토닌이다.

프리스톤대학의로저넬슨박사는 IDT세계에있는 65무작위숫자생산장비로이루어진범지구의식프로젝트네트워크(GCP)매우현저영향을발견. 9그것은 IDT대한사회또는생리학적인연구와달리순수한객관적인척도만을사용하고있다.

더구나 IDT 참여자숫자가많을수록효과는크다. 이것은넬슨박사가 2001 9 11미국에대한테러공격이있은직후에 IDT적용하고관찰한결과이다. 또한, 효과도2001 9 11테러공격이나비극적사건효과와방향이반대이거나임이나타났다. , 무작위발생기 IDT 시행기간에는무작위으로작용하는.10

IDT 대한 회의주의관해

과학자들에게아인슈타인의상대성이론과랑크의양자원리를수용하도록관점의변화는작은것이아니었지만증거가워낙탄탄했기그것들은수용되었다. IDT경우에도유사한상황이있을있다. 그러한관점유지도전하고. 논문은새로운해결법에기초그룹의식의강력한영향력에대한연구를보여줄것이.이것은많은연구가들에게는새로운분야이겠지만탄탄한증거로뒷받침된놀랄만한결과를담고있다.

물리학이아인슈타인의상대성이론도입과함께관점과분석의방법에서중요한변화를어야것처럼, 논문은독자들로하여금테러와전쟁을예방하고종식하는사회스트레스감소방법에서그와똑같은대대적인변화를받아들일것을요구하고있다. 아인슈타인의상대성이론은,대규모우주현상분석에서중력을공간의형태에영향을미치는힘의장”다루어야한다. 이런관점을지배하는방정식이천체물리학의중요한문제들을해결하기위해제시되었다. 그렇지다면이삭뉴턴경이확립한고전적인방정식에도전하는여러편차들과진기한현상들이해결되지았을것이다.

그와마찬가지로과학적측정영역다른끝에서이루어지는실험은원자이하의입자의움직임은고전물리학의방정식으로는기술할없음을보여주고있다. 랑크양자원리와하이젠베르크의불확정원리를사용그러한변이를설명하는것은전체양자물리학세계를새로기술하고하게한다.

언급의목적은진보의주요단계들은결국필연적으로편견을극복하게설명하려는것이다. 상대성과양자역학은분명한증거로부터생겨났다. 그러나지금은일상적이되어버린이러한방정식수용을둘러싸고사람들마음속에논쟁이있었다.. 우리는지금평화를위한투쟁본성을두고그와유사한교차로에있는것처럼보인다. 군대예방부대제안강력한과학적인증거에근거를것이다. 그러나제안된해결책수용을둘러싼논쟁이사람들의마음속에아직남아있다.

자신의박사학위논문을위해하버드대학의클라라린톤브라운은정책과연관분야에서일하는엘리트정책수립자들과인터뷰를하였다. 그녀는정책수립자들이삶의그리고폭력과전사자감소에미치는 IDT사회적영향력에대한연구를어떻게평가하는가를연구. 그녀는정책수립자들이연구를탐구한다면그들에게다음사항이필요알게되었다:

* 혁신적인내용평가위한전체적인맥락

* 연구와혁신사항탐구위해일상의압박에서벗어날있는시간

*프로그램을이행해보았거나실제적질문들에답변해있는사람들의관점과지원

*문화적순응혁신적내용대한고정관념을버리는

브라운박사의질문에응답한사람들몇몇은연구을매우이해하였다. 그러나그것이어떻게하는가에대해서는여전히의문을품고있었다. 예를들어외교관들은브라운박사에게자기들은연구를매우흥미로운것으로여기지만, 자기들은중동평화위한긴급한문제처리에너무바빠서이러한혁신적인것을어떻게사용하고그것이어떻게작용하는지생각할시간이없다고하였다.

브라운박사는또한많은정책생산자들이고대인도에기원을두고있는혁신적인내용에대해서상투적인생각이나편견을가지고알게되었다. 편견을가진평자에의해서 IDT연구가고의로오해될가능성이있기때문에 IDT 연구에친숙하지않는논문의독자들은시간을내서그녀의하버드대학교박사학위논문바탕으로클라라린톤브라운박사의논문을주의깊게연구해보기바란다. 브라운박사의연구는 <사회행동과인격저널>발표되었다.11 하버드대학교의박사학위논문은온라인상에서구할있다.12

다른명상과 초월명상비교

IDT초월명상과 TM-Sidhi 프로그램을이용한다. 이것은명상중에서가장과학적으로탐구된형태이다. 명상의여러형태들은서로다른방법을사용하며당연히서로다른결과를낳는. 여러방식의명상을하는동안나타나는상이한생리적과정을밝히위해두뇌의패턴이과학적으로연구되었다. 메타분석은 TM유독이로운효과를낳음보여주었다.

명상의여러형태는서로같은효과를생산하지않음이비교연구에서나타났다. 메타분석은 TM , 마음챙김명상, , 점진적근육이완, 티베트불교와비파사나명상, 이완반응의효과들을비교. 그들은휴식의수준, 뇌파의패턴, 마음과미치는이득을살펴보았.

다른가지명상들은영역에서훌륭한효과를내는것으로나타. 그러나뇌파도와신경이미지연구는 TM 기술이독특한두뇌패턴을만들어냄을보여주. TM전체에뇌파통일창출하는유일한명상기술이다. 연구는 TM 기술이억압과불안을감소시키고자기실현을증가시키는효과적임을보여준다. TM 기술을통해다른수행법깊은휴식을취할있다.14

리쉬효과연구가인데이비드존슨박사에따르면, “40대와 50대인 60남성대상으로연구에서명상을하지피험자들보다 TM 이나다른명상(OMT=도교, , 기독교, 힌두요가명상)시행하는험자 12부위전부에서극미한광양자방출이현저하게적었다.”했다.15 16

이동성과 근접성

IDT분쟁이나분쟁가능성이있는곳에바로가까이있어야필요없다. 그러나편견이있는지역의정치적인공간내에시스템이배치될최상결과얻을있다. 동시에, 시스템이포괄적인지역(예를들어지역이나국가) 내에배치된다면또한넓은영역에서긍정적인효과를창출하게된다.

IDT모든참여자들이서로근접해그룹을만들최상으로하는특성이있다 (참여자들사이평균 1.5m 거리). 그러나참여자들이몇몇그룹으로시행을해도여전히긍정적인효과를얻을있다.

세계적으로 IDT지상에기반을수도있고바다에기반을수도있다.1718 지상에기반을예방부대는군대에의해서실제로실험된적이있다. IDT 시행자들은해당장소로 (혹은해당장소에가까운곳으로) 수송되안전곳에배치된. 바다에기반을예방대는이론적으로하다. 예를들어미국키티호크 (CV-63) 항공모함은특수작전병력1000명을아프카니스탄임무를위해배에서지원하였다.19 그러므로 IDT 전문가를지원하는항공모함전투그룹은중동에서긴장을감소시키기위해페르시아만으로배치될있을것이다(대략적인구=8; 인구의 1%=8백만; 8백만의제곱근=2829 IDT 전문가가마하리쉬효과를생산하기위해필요함).

추가 이익

연구는예방부대추가적인이득을줌을예측하게.정부의협력개선, 경제동향개선, 범죄감소, 건강개선, 삶의개선그것이.

브라질전사들은그들의군사훈련의일부로서 IDT. 많은브라질정부는기술을소개하고있다. 2 6천이넘는다양한계급의군사경찰장교들이교육을받았다.20 브라질과학자들은군인과경찰장교건강과훈련에서현저한개선이있었음을확인하였다. 브라질바히아주의사관생도와브라질피아우이군사경찰학교도똑같이 IDT사용함으로써현저한개선을경험하였다.21

IDT배우는사람들은개인적시행통해효과를보고있다. 다방면에걸친연구는스트레스에대한반응감소, 반사회적행동감소, 내부폭력감소, 협응능력증가개인적인이득이있음을기록하고있다. 연구는또한외상스트레스장애(PTSD), 병원방문, 알코올문제, 정서마비, 불면증, 불안, 가족문제, 우울증이감소했음보고하고있다. 범두뇌뇌파도통일증가와같은심리생리적인측정치를통해그리고지성, 도덕,인격등에대한심리학적테스트를통해전체적성장이있었음이확인되었다.

IDT군사전략, 전투작전관한특수한지식, 아니면적의능력이나약점에대한새로운지식이없이도전사자와부상자수를줄일해결책을제공한다. 이것은군사지휘관에게변화가있는위기감증가부담을제거해.

Un nouveau rôle pour les forces armées : Prévenir l’apparition d’ennemis
Le renouveau d’une approche ancienne du maintien de la Paix

Résumé

Le rôle prioritaire des forces armées consiste à protéger entièrement leur pays contre toute attaque par des ennemis, externes ou internes. Dans la plupart des pays, les systèmes de défense mobilisent des ressources considérables et entraînent des pertes en vies humaines. Si l’on pouvait établir la paix en empêchant la naissance d’un ennemi, ce serait une solution à la fois efficace et rentable. Cet article présente un nouveau rôle des forces militaires consistant à créer au sein de l’armée une « section préventive » dont le but serait d’empêcher l’apparition d’ennemis. Cette approche nouvelle qui a pour nom « la Technologie invincible de défense (TID) » provient de la tradition védique ancienne. Plus de 50 études scientifiques démontrent qu’elle peut prévenir l’apparition d’ennemis ainsi qu’aider à établir la paix et à maintenir un état de paix. Deux à trois pour cent du personnel militaire d’une nation pourraient être formés sur une base volontaire aux fondements des techniques de TID : techniques connues sous le nom de programmes de Méditation Transcendantale® (MT®) et de MT-Sidhi®. [1] Des études vérifiées avec soin par la communauté scientifique prouvent que la TID réduit dans la collectivité le stress social qui est reconnu par beaucoup comme responsable des conflits, du terrorisme et de la criminalité. La réduction des tensions collectives se traduit par la réduction des tensions entre pays, groupes religieux, ou même au sein de groupes terroristes. L’application de cette technologie qui se fonde sur les ressources humaines, qui est ni destructrice ni meurtrière, pourrait permettre aux forces armées de réduire le stress social et d’empêcher l’apparition d’ennemis.

Stress social et cycle de la guerre

La figure 1 illustre le caractère cyclique de la guerre. Dans un premier temps, le stress social s’accumule et les diplomates ne réussissent pas à s’entendre. Des groupes apparaissent qui cristallisent cette opposition et se comportent en ennemis. Le rôle des forces militaires est de dissuader les ennemis. Si la dissuasion échoue, le conflit militaire éclate. Cela finit par résoudre en apparence le problème, mais le stress demeure, alimentant des conflits futurs.

Tableau 1 : Les forces armées n’appréhendent pas le stress social
Typical Military Model

Des pays qui disposent d’une puissante armée peuvent également être victime du terrorisme, de la guerre et subir de lourdes pertes humaines. Si leurs forces armées étaient à la fois puissantes et invincibles, ils ne souffriraient pas de ces fléaux. L’armée devient invincible lorsque le pays n’a aucun ennemi. L’absence d’ennemi signifie l’absence de conflits et de terrorisme.

L’auteur propose que chaque pays dans le monde crée au sein de ses forces armées une « section préventive » constituée d’un nombre spécifique de militaires formés aux techniques éprouvées de réduction du stress social, que sont la Méditation Transcendantale et le programme de MT-Sidhi. Dans ce modèle d’une armée invincible (tableau 2), l’objectif des militaires est de réduire le stress social collectif afin de prévenir l’apparition d’ennemis ou de transformer des ennemis existants en amis. Le cycle de la guerre est ainsi brisé.

Tableau 2 : Les forces armées recourent à la TID
pour briser le cycle de la guerre

Typical Military Model

Cette méthodologie s’appelle la Technologie invincible de défense (TID). Elle est systématique et reproductible à volonté. Sa compréhension théorique implique le domaine de la conscience en tant que champ. On a démontré que la pratique de techniques psychophysiologiques spécifiques par un groupe d’individus peut produire une influence apaisante sur la population environnante.

Le programme de Méditation Transcendantale (MT) est non-religieux et ne requiert aucun changement de croyances. Il est issu de la tradition védique ancienne de l’Inde. En 1956, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi a propagé la technique de Méditation Transcendantale. Les scientifiques ont donné le nom « d’effet Maharishi » à l’accroissement de la cohérence sociale résultant de la pratique de la MT et du programme plus avancé de MT-Sidhi®. Maharishi a prédit que si 1% de la population pratiquait le programme de MT, on noterait une croissance de la paix et de l’harmonie dans l’ensemble de la société. De plus, il a anticipé le même résultat si la racine carrée de 1% de la population pratiquait le programme de MT-Sidhi en groupes deux fois par jour. Ces résultats ont été étudiés à de nombreuses reprises et ont donné lieu à des recherches scientifiques publiées dans des revues scientifiques de renom.

Recherche sociologique sur la technologie invincible de défense

Plus de 50 études scientifiques valident les bienfaits de la TID en termes de réduction du stress collectif. Les études sur l’effet Maharishi ont été publiées dans des revues de premier plan, telles que The Journal of Conflict Resolution, Social Indicators Research, Journal of Crime and Justice, Journal of Mind and Behavior et International Journal of Neuroscience. La plupart de ces recherches ont été reprises dans un article co-écrit par l’auteur, intitulé « Une alternative à la violence militaire et à la dissuasion par la peur : vingt ans de recherche sur l’effet Maharishi », et publié par le groupe de réflexion appelé Security and Political Risk Analysis (SAPRA). [2]

Les études scientifiques ont révélé que les indicateurs sociologiques tels que les actes de terrorisme, le nombre de décès et de blessés pour faits de guerre, l’intensité des conflits et les taux de criminalité, se sont améliorés lorsque un nombre suffisamment grand d’individus pratiquaient ces techniques psychophysiologiques uniques. Les résultats incluent un plus grand progrès dans le sens de la recherche de solutions pacifiques et la diminution du nombre de morts et de blessés pour faits de guerre, de l’intensité des conflits, de l’importance des dommages matériels, du nombre d’actes d’hostilités et de conflits internationaux, et du nombre de décès dus à des actes de terrorisme.

Une démonstration remarquable de la réduction du stress social par la TID aux États-Unis fut publiée dans Social Indicators Research. [3] Ce projet s’est déroulé à Washington, DC., capitale américaine. Les résultats escomptés furent adressés à l’avance aux responsables gouvernementaux et aux journaux. Cette étude eu recours aux méthodes statistiques d’analyse des séries temporelles. Le protocole de recherche fut approuvé par un comité indépendant chargé de superviser le projet ; ce comité fixa les dates de la période expérimentale du 7 juin au 30 juillet 1993. Le résultat principal fut une baisse du taux de criminalité, inférieure de 23% au niveau prédit, lorsque le groupe de personnes pratiquant le programme de MT-Sidhi a atteint son maximum (p < 2 x 10-9 pour les données hebdomadaires). Les influences dues à d’autres causes possibles – weekends, conditions météos et tendances antérieures dans les données – n’ont pas donné de résultats significatifs. On rencontre rarement un niveau aussi faible de la valeur p dans les recherches en sociologie.

Lors du conflit au Liban en 1983, lorsque la taille du groupe d’experts en TID établi à Jérusalem variait, le nombre de décès pour faits de guerre au Liban variait de façon correspondante de jour en jour. Lorsque le nombre de participants fut maximum, le nombre de décès pour faits de guerre diminua de 76% ; le nombre de participants s’approchait alors du niveau théorique désiré : la racine carrée de 1% de la population.

Durant la période où l’intensité de la guerre du Liban fut maximale, l’expérience fut répétée 7 fois sur deux ans et l’on a mesuré les résultats suivants :

  • Diminution de 71% du nombre de décès pour faits de guerre (p < 10-10)
  • Diminution de 68% du nombre de blessés pour faits de guerre (p < 10-6)
  • Diminution de 48% de l’intensité du conflit (p < 10-8)
  • Accroissement de 66% de la coopération entre belligérants (p < 10-6).

La probabilité que ces résultats combinés soient dus au hasard est inférieure à un sur 1019. Cet effet de réduction du stress social et des conflits devient de ce fait le phénomène le plus rigoureusement établi de toute l’histoire des sciences sociales. [4]

Pour que les effets de la TID se produisent, il faut qu’il y ait le nombre requis de participants. Le graphique 3 illustre la variation des effets selon la taille du nombre de participants. Ce diagramme indique les variations d’un indice composite de qualité de la vie en Israël pendant le conflit de 1983 au Liban. Notez qu’il y a un « retard » de un à plusieurs jours, ainsi qu’un effet de « lissage » qui modère l’impact de la variation du nombre de participants. Notez également que le point « 0 » sur l’axe des ordonnées représente le nombre de participants correspondant au seuil pour cette population (soit 158 participants).

Graphique 3 : Taille du groupe MT et qualité de la vie en Israël

Ce graphique illustre une corrélation statistique hautement significative entre le nombre de participants à l’assemblée de TID et un indice composite de mesure du progrès vers la paix et de la qualité de la vie en Israël pendant les mois d’août et de septembre 1983. Lorsque le nombre de participants s’accroît, l’intensité de la guerre au Liban diminue (p < 10-7).

Le Dr. John Hagelin (Ph.D.) est un physicien diplômé de Harvard qui a dirigé une partie de la recherche sur la TID. Il est directeur de l’Institut de Science, de Technologie et de Science politique (ISTPP). Le Dr. Hagelin parle en détail de la physique de la TID dans une vidéo en ligne. [5]

Une étude fondamentale publiée dans le Journal of Offender Rehabilitation a montré une réduction de 72% du nombre de morts dus au terrorisme international (p < .025) lorsque le seuil mondial de personnes pratiquant le programme de MT-Sidhi était atteint. [6] Ces assemblées se sont déroulées de 1983 à 1985. Cette recherche a étudié les effets de trois grandes assemblées dont la taille était proche du seuil de l’effet Maharishi pour le monde (soit 7000 personnes à l’époque considérée). L’étude a utilisé des données statistiques fournies par la Rand Corporation et a montré une baisse de 32% des conflits internationaux (p < .025).

Une proposition de mécanisme de causalité pour la technologie invincible de défense

Les mécanismes de la TID ne sont pas encore complètement compris. Une étude publiée en 2005 dans le Journal of Social Behavior and Personality propose une explication de la TID en termes biologiques. [7] Il a été démontré que la sérotonine, un puissant neurotransmetteur, produit un sentiment de joie, de plénitude et même d’euphorie. La recherche indique que de faibles niveaux de sérotonine sont corrélés avec l’agressivité, une humeur dépressive et la violence. L’étude a montré que la production de sérotonine parmi les membres de la population environnante variait en fonction de la taille du groupe d’experts en TID. Ces résultats statistiquement significatifs fournissent une explication neurophysiologique plausible du mécanisme de réduction de l’agressivité et de l’hostilité dans l’ensemble de la société.

Une augmentation de l’activité de la sérotonine et une diminution du taux de cortisol semblent être associées à l’expérience de la conscience transcendantale chez les personnes pratiquant la MT. Pendant la pratique de la MT, les personnes font l’expérience de la conscience transcendantale, qui est un quatrième état de conscience ; son activité cérébrale est nettement différente de celle des états de conscience de veille, de sommeil et de rêve. [8] L’état de conscience transcendantale produit de la cohérence dans le cerveau ; les scientifiques émettent l’hypothèse que cette expérience anime la cohérence à l’intérieur du champ unifié. Apparemment, l’effet est amplifié par une pratique en groupe. La physique théorique considère que le champ unifié est le fondement de toutes les lois de la nature. La TID semble fonctionner depuis ce niveau fondamental. Donc, via le champ unifié, il se produit également un accroissement de la cohérence cérébrale chez ceux et celles qui ne pratiquent pas la MT. Cet accroissement de la cohérence se traduit matériellement par un accroissement du taux de sérotonine.

Le Dr. Roger Nelson de l’Université de Princeton a découvert que la TID exerce une influence hautement significative sur le Projet de Conscience Globale (PCG), qui est ce réseau d’environ 65 générateurs de nombres aléatoires situés autour de la planète. [9] C’est une mesure purement objective qui diffère de toute autre recherche sociologique ou physiologique sur la TID.

De plus, l’effet est supérieur avec un plus grand nombre de participants TID. C’est une reproduction de ce que le Dr. Nelson a observé à partir d’une assemblée de TID en 2001, peu après l’attaque terroriste du 11 septembre 2001 sur le World Trade Center à New York. Notons que l’effet observé s’inscrit dans la direction opposée de l’effet des attaques terroristes du 11 septembre 2001 ou d’autres événements catastrophiques. En ce sens, il « compense » les effets négatifs. Il semble que les générateurs de nombres aléatoires deviennent moins « aléatoires » pendant la pratique de la TID. [10]

Reconnaissance du scepticisme à l’égard de la TID

Le changement de perspective qui fut demandé aux scientifiques pour accepter la théorie de la relativité d’Einstein et le principe quantique de Plank était de taille. Mais ils finirent par être acceptés car ces principes étaient soutenus par des évidences très fortes. On peut noter une situation similaire avec la TID. Le défi consiste à adopter le changement de perspective. Cet article offre une nouvelle solution fondée sur l’étude des influences puissantes produites par la conscience de groupe. Pour de nombreux scientifiques, il s’agit d’un domaine totalement nouveau qui produit des résultats surprenants, mais des résultats confirmés par de fortes évidences.

De même qu’avec l’introduction de la théorie de la relativité d’Einstein, la physique a dû subir un changement profond à la fois dans sa vision de la réalité et dans ses méthodes d’analyse, de même cet article est un défi aux lecteurs car il leurs demande d’accepter une perspective totalement nouvelle pour réduire le stress social, et prévenir et mettre un terme au terrorisme et aux conflits.

Dans la théorie de la relativité d’Einstein, l’analyse des phénomènes cosmiques à grande échelle traite la gravité comme un champ de force qui a un effet sur la forme même de l’espace. Les équations qui régissent ce point de vue se sont révélées efficaces dans la résolution d’importants problèmes astrophysiques qui continueraient sinon à être considérées comme des anomalies ou des curiosités défiant les équations classiques de la physique de Newton.

De même, à l’autre extrémité des échelles de mesure, au niveau des particules subatomiques, les expériences démontrent que leur comportement échappe à toute description utilisant les équations de la physique classique. L’explication de ces anomalies par le principe quantique de Planck et le principe d’incertitude de Heisenberg permet de décrire et de comprendre un monde totalement nouveau, celui de la physique quantique.

En développant les points qui précèdent, nous avons voulu montrer que les grands progrès scientifiques doivent vaincre les préjugés. La relativité et la mécanique quantique se sont imposées du fait de la force de leur évidence. Cependant, le combat pour faire accepter des équations qui sont considérées comme tout à fait normales aujourd’hui, ce combat s’est produit dans l’esprit des gens. Il semble que dans le cadre du « combat pour la paix » nous nous trouvions à une croisée des chemins similaire. Notre proposition de création au sein des forces armées d’une section préventive se fonde sur des preuves scientifiques très solides, cependant, c’est au niveau de l’esprit des gens que la bataille pour l’acceptation de cette solution doit encore se produire.

Dans sa thèse de doctorat à l’Université de Harvard, Carla Linton Brown a interviewé des responsables politiques de haut rang travaillant dans le domaine de la diplomatie. Elle a étudié leurs réactions lorsqu’ils examinaient les recherches sur les effets sociologiques de la TID (amélioration de la qualité de la vie et réduction de la violence et des morts pour faits de guerre). Elle s’est aperçu que, lorsqu’ils étudiaient ces recherches, ces responsables politiques avaient besoin :

  • du contexte de la recherche afin de pouvoir évaluer son caractère innovant ;
  • de disposer de temps, loin des pressions et des responsabilités quotidiennes, pour explorer la recherche ;
  • de connaître la perspective de ceux ayant mis en œuvre le programme et de bénéficier de leur soutien pour avoir des réponses à des questions pratiques, et
  • d’une adaptabilité culturelle pour dépasser les stéréotypes qu’ils peuvent avoir associés à cette innovation.

Certaines des personnes interrogées par le Dr. Brown adoptèrent une attitude très réceptive à l’égard de la recherche, mais avaient encore des questions sur la façon dont la TID fonctionne. Également, des diplomates mentionnèrent au Dr. Brown que même s’ils trouvaient les recherches convaincantes, ils étaient encore trop occupés à colmater les brèches du processus de paix au Moyen-Orient pour avoir le temps de considérer comment cette nouvelle approche pouvait être mise en oeuvre et qu’elles en étaient ses principes de fonctionnement.

Le Dr. Brown a également remarqué que plusieurs de ces hommes politiques entretenaient des préjugés à l’égard d’une approche innovante venant de l’Inde ancienne et que leur vision restait très stéréotypée. Du fait de l’interprétation erronée de la recherche sur la TID entretenue de manière délibérée par des critiques non objectifs, nous souhaitons que les lecteurs de cet article, non familiers avec la recherche sur la TID, prennent le temps de lire avec attention l’article du Dr. Carla Linton Brown rédigé à partir de sa thèse de doctorat à l’Université de Harvard. La recherche du Dr. Brown a été publiée dans le Journal of Social Behavior and Personality. [11] La thèse de Harvard est disponible en ligne. [12]

Comparaison entre la technique de MT et d’autres types de méditation

La TID utilise les programmes de Méditation Transcendantale et de MT-Sidhis, qui sont les formes de méditation ayant fait l’objet du plus grand nombre de recherches scientifiques. Chaque type de méditation utilise des méthodes différentes et obtient en toute logique des résultats différents. [13] Afin de comprendre les processus physiologiques propres à différentes formes de méditation, on a analysé les caractéristiques de fonctionnement du cerveau durant ces méditations. Des méta-analyses ont montré que la MT ne produit que des effets bénéfiques.

Selon la recherche comparative, les différentes formes de méditation ne produisent pas les mêmes effets. Des méta-analyses ont comparé les effets de la technique de MT, de la technique « Mindfulness », du Zen, de la relaxation musculaire progressive, de la méditation Bouddhiste tibétaine, de la méditation Vipassana et de la réponse de relaxation de Benson. Ces études ont considéré les niveaux de repos, les caractéristiques des ondes cérébrales et les bienfaits pour le corps et l’esprit.

Certaines de ces formes de méditation produisent de bons effets dans des domaines spécifiques. Cependant, les études en imagerie cérébrale et les EEG montrent que la technique de MT crée un fonctionnement unique du cerveau. C’est la seule technique de méditation qui crée de la cohérence dans la totalité des ondes cérébrales. La recherche montre que la technique de MT est efficace pour réduire la dépression et l’anxiété, et pour développer la réalisation de soi. Cette technique produit un niveau plus profond que celui obtenu dans toutes les autres pratiques. [14]

Le docteur David Orme-Johnson – scientifique ayant étudié l’effet Maharishi – signale que, dans une nouvelle étude portant sur 60 sujets hommes allant de 40 à 60 ans, les chercheurs ont mesuré de manière non-invasive la concentration en radicaux libres du corps. Sur 12 localisations anatomiques différentes, ils ont détecté des concentrations significativement moins élevées chez les sujets pratiquant la technique de Méditation Transcendantale (MT) par rapport aux sujets pratiquant d’autres techniques de méditation (Tao, Zen, chrétienne, et méditations hindoues ou issues du yoga) et par rapport à ceux qui ne pratiquaient pas régulièrement de techniques de méditation”[15]. Un taux élevé de radicaux libres dans le corps est associé à une accélération du vieillissement et à un grand nombre de maladies [16].

Déploiement de la TID (proximité, transport)

Il n’est pas nécessaire d’utiliser la TID à proximité des conflits ou de zones de conflits potentiels. On obtient cependant de meilleurs résultats lorsque le système est déployé à l’intérieur des frontières politiques du pays où existent une ou plusieurs zones de conflit. Bien entendu le déploiement de la TID à l’intérieur de limites restreintes (régionales ou nationales) crée aussi des effets positifs au-delà des frontières où sévissent des conflits.

On a noté que la TID produit les meilleurs résultats lorsque les participants sont réunis en un seul groupe où la proximité des gens entre eux est grande (moyenne de 1,5 mètres entre les participants). Cependant, on obtient quand même de bons résultats lorsque les participants opèrent en plusieurs petits groupes.

La TID peut se déployée soit de manière terrestre ou maritime. Des sections préventives terrestres ont été testées sur le terrain par les militaires.[17] [18] Les personnes participant à la TID doivent être transportées à l’endroit du conflit (ou à proximité de cet endroit) et être installés dans des bâtiments complètement sécurisés. Les sections préventives maritimes sont théoriquement possibles. Par exemple, le transporteur US Kitty Hawk (CV-63) avait à son bord 1000 militaires des forces d’opération spéciales pour sa mission en Afghanistan. [19] Des bateaux de transport de troupes pourraient donc recevoir des experts en TID et naviguer au Golfe Persique pour réduire les tensions au Moyen-Orient (la population approximative est égale à 800 millions ; 1% de la population = 8 millions ; la racine carrée de 8 millions = 2829 experts en TID requis pour réaliser l’effet Maharishi).

Autres bienfaits

Les recherches ont mis en évidence d’autres bienfaits produits par la création d’une section préventive au sein des forces armées. Notamment l’amélioration de la coopération entre les gouvernements, l’amélioration des tendances économiques, la réduction de la criminalité, l’amélioration du niveau général de santé publique et une meilleure qualité de la vie.

Des soldats brésiliens ont appris la TID dans le cadre de leur entraînement militaire. Plusieurs gouvernements régionaux du Brésil ont introduit la technologie dans leur région. Vingt-six mille officiers de police militaire de tout rang ont été formés. [20] Les études effectuées par des scientifiques brésiliens ont montré une amélioration significative de la santé et un plus grand respect de la discipline parmi les officiers de police militaire et les élèves officiers de l’état de Bahia et de l’Académie de police militaire de Piaui, Brésil. [21]

Les personnes qui apprennent la TID individuellement bénéficient de la pratique comme le confirment de nombreuses recherches : réduction de la réponse au stress, diminution des comportements antisociaux, diminution de la violence familiale et amélioration de la coordination corps esprit. Ces recherches indiquent également une réduction du syndrome de stress post-traumatique, du nombre de visites chez le médecin, de l’alcoolisme, de l’émoussement émotionnel, de l’insomnie, de l’anxiété, des problèmes familiaux et de la dépression. Le développement holistique de la personne est démontré par des mesures psycho-physiologiques telles que l’augmentation de la cohérence générale des EEG ainsi que, sur la base de tests psychologiques, par la croissance de l’intelligence, du raisonnement moral et de la personnalité.

Sur le plan militaire, la TID offre une solution qui réduit le nombre de morts et de blessés pour fait de guerre sans avoir à modifier les tactiques militaires ou les connaissances spéciales du combattant, et sans avoir à essayer de connaître les nouvelles forces ou faiblesses de l’ennemi. L’introduction de la TID ne modifie pas le fonctionnement militaire classique. Les commandants militaires n’ont donc rien à craindre de son introduction.

Gestion stratégique du stress (GSS)

Le Colonel Brian Rees, lors d’une présentation donnée au Carlisle Barracks, a parlé de la TID en terme de Gestion stratégique du stress (GSS). [22] L’auteur a publié des commentaires sur les effets de la TID dans un article intitulé « 55 tendances façonnant désormais le futur du terrorisme » [23] dans un rapport compilé par Forecasting International et parrainé par Proteus Management Group, National Intelligence University, Office of the Director of National Intelligence et Center for Strategic Leadership (Collège militaire américain).

Mises en œuvre actuelles de la TID dans le monde

Un nombre suffisant d’adeptes de la MT et du programme de MT-Sidhi pour réaliser l’effet Maharishi pratiquent actuellement en groupes dans cinq pays : [24]

  • Pays-Bas (Hollande)
  • Trinidad et Tobago
  • Bolivie
  • Pérou
  • Colombie

Dans les pays d’Amérique du Sud mentionnés, les groupes sont composés essentiellement d’élèves dans des écoles. Bien qu’il soit noble de la part de groupes civils d’assumer cette responsabilité, il serait plus approprié et plus fiable que les forces armées gèrent elles-mêmes la création et le déploiement de groupes de TID. D’une part, les groupes civils doivent lever des fonds pour subsister, alors que les militaires sont déjà payés pour assurer la protection de la nation contre tout ennemi, qu’il soit intérieur ou extérieur. D’autre part, les enfants d’âge scolaire prennent des vacances prolongées et en tous ensemble, alors que les militaires échelonnent leurs congés.

Parmi les pays sur le point de regrouper un nombre suffisant de personnes pratiquant la TID pour réaliser l’effet Maharishi, signalons :

  • l’Inde : selon le Major-général (à la retraite) Singh, l’Inde est sur le point de réaliser l’invincibilité par des groupes civils. [25] [26]
  • Les États-Unis : l’effectif requis pour produire l’effet Maharishi pour les États-Unis est approximativement de 1700 personnes pratiquant le programme de MT et de MT-Sidhi deux fois par jour en groupe. Un tel groupe existe et le décompte journalier du nombre de personne montre que l’effectif requis est actuellement dépassé une fois par jour, alors qu’il faudrait qu’il le soit deux fois par jour pour vraiment réaliser tous les effets de l’accroissement de la cohérence dans la société. [27] Le groupe est composé surtout de citoyens américains, plus quelques experts venus de l’Inde. On s’attend à ce que groupe augmente en importance avec l’arrivée imminente de nouveaux experts provenant d’Inde.

Pour n’importe quel pays ou population, on calcule régulièrement l’effectif requis du groupe de TID qui est égal à la racine carrée de un pour cent de la population. [28]
