Lebanon's parental role
in the Middle East

(25 March 2007) At the Family Chat program, on the Maharishi Channel, Dr. Salim Haddad, National Administrator, reported on the success of the Maharishi Programs in Lebanon, he said:

Lebanon is poised midway between the Brahmasthan (centre point) of India and MERU, Holland—the seats of two great world centers of the Global Country of World Peace. As a pivotal point in the Middle East, Lebanon is set to take on a parental role for all 22 Arabic-speaking countries, with a total population of 350 million.

An hour-long interview was recently broadcast on the Arabic-language Al Alam News Network satellite television, which is based in Iran and fully supported by the Iranian government. This interview covered all aspects of Maharishi's Transcendental Meditation Program, including the Maharishi Effect; and offered an invitation to every individual and every government to create Invincibility in their nation and to apply Maharishi's six-point program to create a healthy, happy, prosperous society, and a peaceful world.

Given that of all Arab countries, so far only a few, notably Lebanon, Algeria, and Egypt, have the knowledge of Maharishi's programs, this interview was of tremendous importance.

For this reason, the leaders of the Global Country of World Peace in Lebanon feel the responsibility to spread this knowledge in all Arab nations. Lebanon itself is a small country, but it is sending teachers of Transcendental Meditation to other Arab countries which have greater potential, resources, and capabilities to establish their own local organizations.

With the large Arabic-speaking population in the Middle East, it is essential to make Maharishi's knowledge and programs available in that language. To this end, Lebanon has undertaken the large-scale project to translate all this knowledge into Arabic and make it available to all Arab countries.

Works already completed are Maharishi's books—Science of Being and Art of Living; Maharishi Mahesh Yogi on the Bhagavad-Gita: A New Translation and Commentary, Chapters 1-6; and Love and God—as well as publications on Maharishi Ayurveda. see website: http://alishraq.net

UN, Government Leaders Offered Comprehensive Program to Eliminate Problems through Vedic Architecture and City Planning
in Harmony with Natural Law

To Bring Health, Good Fortune, and Invincibility to the Nation

(NEW YORK April 19, 2007) Governments can eliminate at least 50 percent of the problems of disease, conflict, and negativity in their countries by reconstructing the homes, offices, and government buildings in the nation according to the science of Vedic architecture in harmony with Natural Law.

Such a program of national reconstruction will maximize the happiness, health, and fortune of the people—and create a peaceful, prosperous nation.

This was the bold message delivered by Dr. John Hagelin, executive director of the International Center for Invincible Defense, and Dr. Eike Hartmann, Minister of Global Reconstruction of the Global Country of World Peace, during the “Global Conference on Reconstructing the World.” The conference was held on Friday, April 13, at the Global Financial Capital of New York, 70 Broad Street, in Manhattan, and was broadcast internationally via satellite and Internet webcast. (See www.GFCNY.net for a replay of the conference and a schedule of upcoming conferences.)

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Global Country of World Peace, delivered the concluding address to the conference and called on government leaders to immediately adopt the reconstruction programs and end the suffering and misfortune of their people (see page 3). Maharishi spoke to the conference via satellite from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

The conference was the second in a series of six global conferences being held this month, which highlight the six programs of the Global Financial Capital of New York to eliminate poverty and raise every nation to a high level of health, prosperity, and invincibility.

Vedic architecture is architecture in harmony with Natural Law

According to Dr. Hagelin, a world-renowned quantum physicist, Vedic architecture is architecture in harmony with Natural Law. “Natural Law administers the infinite diversity of the ever-expanding universe with perfect order. Natural Law has its ultimate origin in the Unified Field—the Constitution of the Universe. This is the foundational level of Natural Law, which governs the self-interacting dynamics of unity at the basis of all diversity. Constructing a building—or structuring a city—in accordance with these fundamental laws, as codified in the mathematical prescripts of Vedic architecture, will bring perfect order and unrestricted progress to the people and to the nation as a whole,” Dr. Hagelin said.

Maharishi Vedic Architecture promotes “fortune-creating” buildings

Dr. Hartmann, who oversees the global reconstruction programs of the Global Financial Capital of New York in 100 countries, said that Vedic architecture has been brought to light by Maharishi from the ancient Vedic literature. Maharishi Vedic Architecture provides the complete knowledge of proper orientation, placement, and proportion needed to construct “fortune-creating” buildings, cities, and entire nations.

“People do not commonly understand that a great deal of suffering, anxiety, sickness, and negativity is due to the wrong orientation of buildings and offices.,” Dr. Hartmann said.

Dr. Hartmann cited extensive scientific research showing that the human brain is highly sensitive to orientation. “Research confirms that the firing patterns of neurons in the thalamus of the brain are altered by the direction an individual is facing. When an individual faces east, the brain physiology functions differently than when the same individual faces north, south, or west,” Dr. Hartmann said. “This means that the quality of brain functioning—and therefore the quality of thought—depends upon the direction an individual is facing. So when an individual lives or works in a building with wrong orientation, it produces physiological, psychological and behavioral imbalances.”

Dr. Hartmann said that the program to reconstruct the world offered by the Global Financial Capital of New York will provide the proper eastern orientation, as well as proper placement and proportion, to all buildings to promote the balance, health, and happiness of the individual and society.

As the first step, Dr. Hartmann called on government leaders to immediately demolish all improperly oriented government buildings—where decisions are made that impact the destiny of the whole population—and to reconstruct them to be in harmony with Natural Law. “These buildings should be demolished as if they were hit by an earthquake,” Dr. Hartmann said.

Governments invited to build “invincible cities”

Dr. Hartmann invited the UN ambassadors in New York and government leaders around the world to contact the Global Financial Capital of New York to receive the steps to reconstruct their cities and the entire nation in harmony with Natural Law. “Then the cities will have such a high level of internal coherence that they will be ‘invincible cities.’ They will naturally dispel outside negative influences—in the same way, according to the Meissner Effect of quantum physics, that a high level of internal coherence within a system expels disruptive external influences. Then the country as a whole will rise above problems,” Dr. Hartmann said.

“Why allow your people to suffer any longer?”

Dr. Hartmann concluded his address by extending an offer to every government leader: “The knowledge of Vedic architecture is now available to immediately create a problem-free, disease-free society. We invite you to act on our offer now. Why allow your people to suffer any longer?” 

Governments Urged to Adopt New
“Unified Field-Based” Health System
to Promote Perfect Health and Immortality

Cutting-Edge Discoveries in Quantum Physics and Neuroscience
Reveal Immortal Potential of Human Life

New Medical Colleges to be Established in Every Country

(NEW YORK 24 April 2007) Today’s disease-ridden, problem-ridden health care system, which teeters on the brink of bankruptcy, can be completely revitalized through a proven new “Unified Field-based” approach to health care that not only effectively treats and prevents disease but also will promote perfect health and greatly extend lifespan.

This was the extraordinary message delivered by Dr. John Hagelin, world-renowned quantum physicist and executive director of the International Center for Invincible Defense in New York City, along with a panel of distinguished medical researchers and physicians during the “Global Conference on Perfect Health and Immortality.” The conference was held on April 18 at the Global Financial Capital of New York, 70 Broad Street.

Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of the Global Country of World Peace, delivered the concluding address to the conference. Maharishi called on government and health leaders to heed the advice of Dr. Hagelin and immediately adopt the health programs offered by the Global Financial Capital of New York to end the sickness and suffering of their people (see page 3). Maharishi spoke to the conference via satellite from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland.

Hundreds of scientific studies verify the effectiveness of the approach

Dr. Hagelin said this profound new approach to health care is the modern scientific reformulation of the world’s most ancient, time-tested system of health care, known as Maharishi Vedic Medicine.

Dr. Hagelin said that more than 600 scientific studies conducted at 250 universities and research institutions in 33 countries have verified the profound health benefits of this Unified Field-based approach. For example, the National Institutes of Health in the United States has awarded tens of millions of dollars to document the effectiveness of key technologies of Vedic medicine for the prevention and treatment of heart disease, metabolic syndrome, hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke, high cholesterol, and heart failure.

But Vedic medicine does far more than treat and prevent disease, Dr. Hagelin said. Cutting-edge discoveries in quantum physics and neuroscience show that Vedic medicine can open the door for any individual to enjoy perfect health and a long life—“in the direction of immortality.”

“Immortality is the complete absence of disease, decay, or deterioration of any kind—and, according to the ancient Vedic literature, such a state of perfect health is practically possible for every human being,” Dr. Hagelin said. “Now modern science confirms that this is so.”
 

Design of the human body mirrors the immortal Unified Field

According to Dr. Hagelin, the mechanisms responsible for the aging process have remained a mystery to modern medical science. “Now, however, we see that the design of the human body appears to be immortal because it mirrors the structure of the Unified Field—the immortal, non-changing basis of the ever-evolving universe,” Dr. Hagelin said.

Dr. Hagelin cited an example of the correlation between the structure of the Unified Field and the human physiology: “The structure of the Unified Field as described in the Lagrangian of the Superstring, with its 192 left-moving and right-moving fermionic degrees of freedom, is perfectly mirrored in the structure of the human brain and nervous system, with its 192 ascending and descending reticular formations.

“The profound, one-to-one correspondences between the structure of the Unified Field and the structure of the human physiology were discovered by the preeminent neuroscientist Professor Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D., for which he was awarded his weight in gold and honored as ‘Maharaja Nader Raam, the first ruler of the Global Country of World Peace,’” Dr. Hagelin said.

How Maharishi Vedic Medicine can make the human physiology immortal

Dr. Hagelin then addressed two obvious questions: If the human body is immortal, then what accounts for its mortality? And what can be done to make the human body immortal?

“The essential characteristic of immortality in the human physiology is often obstructed and obscured by stress and impurities,” Dr. Hagelin said. “These impediments to perfect health and immortality can be removed by enlivening the Unified Field in the consciousness and physiology of the individual. Maharishi Vedic Medicine offers 40 approaches to accomplish this goal, including:

Maharishi Yoga, which includes the Transcendental Meditation technique, to enliven the Unified Field in individual awareness and to promote life-supporting, health-promoting thought and behavior in accord with Natural Law

Maharishi Vedic Vibration Therapy, which utilizes the fundamental vibrational frequencies of the Unified Field—Vedic sounds—to align the structure and function of the human brain and physiology with the Unified Field

Maharishi Rasayanas, which includes specially prepared herbal compounds to restore balance and to purify the system from toxins and other impurities—without hazardous side effects

Maharishi Vedic Architecture to design “fortune-creating” homes and office buildings in harmony with Natural Law, to prevent sickness and misfortunes that arise from improper orientation

Maharishi Vedic Organic Agriculture to produce healthy, nourishing food, grown without poisonous chemical pesticides and fertilizers, for the whole population

Government leaders urged to act

Dr. Hagelin said that the Global Financial Capital of New York is calling on the UN and government and health leaders in every country to establish new medical colleges that will train a new generation of health professionals in the Unified Field-based science and technology of perfect health and immortality.

“The knowledge is available for every government not only to prevent and treat disease but also to awaken in human awareness and the human physiology the immortal structure of the Unified Field so that everyone can enjoy perfect health and a long life in the direction of immortality,” Dr. Hagelin told the government and health leaders. “This is the offer of Maharishi Vedic Medicine. Don’t allow your people to suffer unnecessarily any longer. Establish these medical colleges and adopt this Unified Field-based approach to health care now.”

The Understanding of Vedic Knowledge
in terms of Modern Science

Dr Bevan Morris: 'I will read out the questions from the press starting with a question on modern science and Vedic Science. Maharishi, the founder of the Global Country of World Peace, often speaks about the ancient Vedic wisdom of India in the language of modern science. Why is it that Vedic Knowledge can be understood in terms of modern science?

‘The Vedic Rishis of India, that is the sages of the ancient Vedic Tradition of India, did research in consciousness by virtue of their very deep practice of meditation, Transcendental Meditation. They were able to dive deeper and deeper into their individual consciousness until they discovered at the basis of their individual consciousness, a universal ocean of consciousness or intelligence.

‘They discovered that this single, universal ocean of consciousness is actually the source of every individual and of every plant and animal and mountain and sea and nation and world and solar system and galaxy and universe. It is all based in one field, one universal field. They called it Atma, and they experienced it as having a fundamental sound, “Aaaa”. It made a long sound, “Aaaa”. And then they experienced the mechanics of how that sound, that single sound, “Aaaa”, collapses within itself to a point of the infinity of that sound, “Aaaa”.

'Within that emerged eight fundamental impulses of nature’s intelligence. And from within that emerged sequences of sound, huge sequences of sound which embody the laws of nature and how those laws of nature express themselves in the DNA and the human physiology, and in the earth, sun, moon, Milky Way, and all the galaxies of the universe.

‘They experienced everything in this reality, which is called the seventh or highest state of human consciousness, Brahmi Chetana, as just the vibration, the reverberation of a single universal field of intelligence. And they experienced in their own words: “Aham Brahmasmi”—I am that Totality; that is I. The whole universe with everything in it and all the intelligence flowing at the basis of it is just myself, I am infinite silence; I am infinite dynamism; I am Totality; I am the totality of Natural Law; I am the total universe. This is their direct experience, not a philosophy about it. This is how they experience their life. And they felt that this field is just bliss. So it is a very fulfilling state to experience unity with everything in creation. And this has been the experience of the sages through all of the ages.

‘In recent times, there have been two such great sages in the Vedic Tradition. First was Maharishi’s Guru Dev, or teacher, Brahmananda Saraswati, the Jagad Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math in the Himalayas, a great, great sage, one of really the highest level that could ever be found at any time. His was a life of legendary proportions. He was a great Master of all of the techniques that give this level of experience of Unity Consciousness. And he trained Maharishi. Maharishi joined him as a young man and spent some twelve years with him. During that time, he taught Maharishi all the things that Maharishi has brought to the world. And Maharishi himself came up to that same level of Brahmi Chetana, of Unity Consciousness, that “I am the Totality” experience that I was just describing.
 

‘These are the great sages, and they experienced the fundamental reality of the Laws of Nature. Long before science was even thought about, they had experienced this reality directly, not through intellectual gyrations or mathematical implications or logic, but just actually directly experiencing the hidden reality of all the Laws of Nature at the basis of every expressed phenomenon in the universe.

‘Now, in the present time, science has come to the level where it aspires to know that level. Science, over hundreds of years, started to look into all the phenomena that are observable in creation and to reduce them to simpler and simpler and more universal principles, such as Newton’s laws of motion and Maxwell’s laws of electromagnetism. Like that, so many basic laws explained a wide variety of phenomenon. Then, science developed quantum mechanics, which explained even more subtle and fundamental levels, the way in which everything is functioning on the level of fields, the basic fields that exist in the universe.

‘Einstein, as well as other scientists, aspired to go beyond this, beyond even four fundamental forces. Einstein felt that everything should be found to be just one—there should be one force. It was Einstein’s feeling that for the absolute simplicity and elegance of explanation of the universe, ultimately, all diversity, all different laws of Nature, should be found reducible into one, single, universal principle or field at the basis of all, from which all laws of nature express themselves. Yet, in his time it did not happen.

‘However, when Maharishi first began to teach the world, he was strongly encouraging all the physicists whom he met, including many Nobel Laureates, to keep going in this direction, telling them that there is such a Unified Field—it is not just an aspiration of mathematics or of quantum field theory, it is actually there—it is real—so please discover it from the intellectual level, from the mathematical level. By the nineteen eighties, the development had come that these Unified Field theories began to be formulated. . . .

‘When Dr, Hagelin speaks to us, he always speaks in terms of zero point motion, that there is a unitary motion of a single field that is found expressed in the laws of electromagnetism, the Strong Force, the Weak Force, the Gravitational Force, and in the fundamental kinds of particles that are there—the bosons and the fermions. They are all just vibrations of one single field, universal field or Unified Field.

‘The reason why—it is a long answer—but the reason why modern physics and Vedic Science can be understood in terms of each other is that they are two descriptions of one thing. They are exactly the same reality being described. In one case, it is the Vedic Rishis who are describing the reality of the unity of creation from the level of direct experience of actually becoming identified with that field during the deep dives in consciousness through Transcendental Meditation and the advanced techniques of Transcendental Meditation. The modern scientists have done it by simply and logically going step by step until they reduced an infinite variety of phenomena to a few hundred laws and then to four basic fields and then, finally, to one universal field in which all of the intelligence of nature is ultimately lively. It is a self-interacting field which, as Dr Hagelin points out, makes it a field of consciousness. It is awake inside and interacts with itself. The Unified Field is not a dead field; it is awake, it is self-interacting, it is self-referral, and from within itself, it creates all the laws of nature and the whole universe. So the reason Vedic Knowledge and modern science can be understood in terms of each other is because they are describing exactly the same thing.
