Meditate For Peace And Heal The Planet | Elaine Gavalas August 7, 2017

Scientists theoretically predicted that the square root of 1% of the U.S. population (about 1,725 people) meditating together would create a nationwide positive effect.

From January 2007 through 2010 over 1,725 participants gathered to practice group Transcendental Meditation at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa.

Researchers found there was an 18.5% drop in violent crime nationwide at the end of the study. Statistical and independent analyses showed the rising trend of U.S. homicides during 2001-2006 was reversed during the 2007-2010 study period. Other variables were ruled out such as the economy, demographics, and law enforcement.

Dr. David Orne-Johnson, chief psychologist at the Maharishi International University at Fairfield, Iowa | Cited LA Times Article The key to effective domestic Transcendental Meditation, Orme-Johnson says, is the number of meditators engaged. “The precise number of meditators needed,” he explains, “is the square root of one percent of the U.S. population, or about 1,514.”

Orme-Johnson advises me that “we do not think of this research as having anything whatsoever to do with psychic phenomena. It is obvious that if true, and it is true, that this is the greatest discovery in the history of science. The idea is simply this. Our own consciousness is fundamentally the unified field of all the laws of nature recently glimpsed by quantum field theory. When individual awareness settles to pure consciousness it becomes identified with (is) the unified field. The unified field, like its derivatives (electromagnetism, gravity), mediates influences at a distance. If something as primitive as a TV set can detect influence from thousands of miles away, why not the human nervous system which is the most complexly organized matter known?”
