Dear Honorable Mayor Gray;

We would like to propose the construction of a "Peace Palace" in your city. This Peace Palace would serve as a center for the prevention of crime and terrorism in Oshawa.

In light of the recent terrorist threat in our nation and the upsurge of violent crime in Toronto and other cities earlier this year, you wil agree that it is urgent that we implement innovative new programs for preventing crime and terrorism.

The programs that would be offered by our organization through the Peace Palace wil create a measurable effect of peace and harmony for the whole city, which wil be seen in reduced crime rates and other negative trends, as well as increased positive social and economic trends.(Please see the enclosed review of the scientifically-validated benefits that you can expect for the city from the Peace Palace programs).

Our organization wil arange the financing for the Peace Palace, but would like the city to provide the land. The Peace Palace would be a two-story structre of approximately 12,000 sq. ft. and wil require approximately 1 acre ofland, which could be in any city park or other lands owned by the city. (Please see the enclosed Peace Palace renderings)

The Global Country of World Peace is an international educational, charitable organization operating in over i 00 countries for the past 50 years. It is dedicated to creating permanent peace and unity in the family of nations through the application of complete scientific knowledge of Natural Law to all areas of human life.

The Peace Palace for your city wil also house an "Invincibility School" for approximately i 00 students. The students of this high school wil study a rigorous traditional academic curriculum. At the same time, they wil all practice technologies for the development of consciousness, including Transcendental Meditation, which scientific research has found develops the total brain functioning of the students and solves many of the problems that schools are facing today due to increased stress in the classrooms.

33 (Please see the enclosed benefits of our consciousness-based education for students and teachers)

Scientific research has also shown that when students practice Transcendental Meditation

and its advanced technique of Yogic Flying together in a group, it produces a powerfl

influence of peace and coherence in the collective consciousness of the city. This harmonious influence neutralizes negative and destructive thinkng and behavior in the whole population, thus preventing violent crime, terronst acts and all negative trends.

In this way, the Peace Palace and Invincibility School wil provide invincible peace and

security for your city. In your parental role of providing safety and security for every

citizen of your city, we invite you to support the establishment of this Peace Palace for

Oshawa. It will crown your administration with a crime-free, problem-free city and unprecedented achievements in all areas of city life.

We look forward to meeting with you or your representatives to discuss our proposal and to consider possible sites for the Peace Palace in the city. We only wish to emphasize that we should act quickly to establish the Peace Palace and Invincibility SchooL, so that immediately we create this influence of peace for the whole city.

You may contact me at the above or our local representative, Mr. Maxm Newby at 905- 450-0619. We wil call your offce next week to set up a meeting. With~~ very best regards, Dr. Neil Paterson Director

rom the first week that the Super Radiance number of over 400 Yogic Flyers for the population of 16 million inhabitants of The Nether- lands was reached, dramatic and fundamental improvements on all lev- els of life have been extensively reported by the Dutch press. Raja Willem of The Netherlands had predicted in a press release on 14 April that such changes were going to take place. And indeed, the government adopted a truly parental role for the nation as a whole: The economy, beyond all predictions, took an unprecedented leap for- ward, displaying an economic boom; business and industry thrived with growth and innovation; and in the field of education and culture, the restoration of deeper values of life was observed. This summary focuses on the most significant changes in government and economy, selected from the daily press reports on positive changes filed by Maharishi European Research University.

II these findings together can only be explained by the rapid development of coherence in the collective consciousness of The Netherlands. Extensive scientific research on the Maharishi Effect has shown that these results naturally occur once the Super Radiance number of a country has been reached. In this ongoing project to create an Invincible Netherlands, the positive societal changes are accelerating and expanding to all levels of Dutch soci- ety. All nations are invited to create their own groups of Yogic Fly- ers on a permanent basis, so that life on earth can be transformed to happiness, purity, and real freedom, with the whole family of nations enjoying sovereignty, invincibility, and peace.

Enlightenment for Every Student and Invincibility for the Nation

Abstract This document outlines the wide range of research findings demonstrating that Consciousness-Based Education, which can be implemented in any educational system or school without changing the currculum, promotes increas intelli- gence and learing ability, improved academic pedormance, increased creativity, greater use of total brain fuctioning, improved attention capacity, improved mind-body coordination, increased organiational ability, increased energy, improved health, increased integration of the personality, reduction in negative personality characteristics, improved social behaviour, and improved cognitive processing and behaviour among students in special or remedial education. In addition, benefits for teachers and adinistrators are reviewed. The research fidings reviewed here also include the benefit of increased coherence. and harony in society generated by large groups of students parcipatig together in the Consciousness-Based educational programe, on the basis of which the nation can gain a state of profound balance, harony, and integrity-invincibility .

~4 Introduction More than 600 scientific research studies have documented the benefits of the educational technology of Consciousness-Based Education-the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programe-for mental potential, health, social behaviour, and society. Conducted at more than 250 universities and research institutes in 32 countres, these studies have been reprited from the scientific journals into seven volumes of Scientifc Research on Maharishi's Transcen- dental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme: Collected Papers. Ths document selects sample findings from these studies that are especially relevant to success in education. Foundation of Consciousness-Based Education: The Transcendental Meditation Programme The central component of Consciousness-Based Education is the twce-daily group practice of the Transcendental Meditation Programme, which is added to the existig curculum along with the study of consciousness (see Section 6). The Transcendental Meditation Programe, founded by Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, the world's foremost scientist in the field of consciousness, has been leared by over five million people worldwide of all cultues and religions. Transcendenta Meditation is a simple, natual, effortless technique that allows the mid to settle to increasingly silent and orderly levels of awareness, and experience the simplest, most expanded state of awareness, the full potential of the mind-Transcendental Consciousness, the Self of everyone. As the mind becomes more settled and wakeful durig Transcendenta Medita- tion, the body gains a unique physiological state of restfl alertess, which releases accumulated stress and increases the stability and flexibility of the nervous system.

Regular experience of ths restflly alert state produces a broad range of benefits, wluch are reflected in the increasing ability to express our full creative potential in daily life. We achieve our goals without strai, fulfilling our own interests while upholding the interests of others and society as a whole.

Research indicates that the experience of Transcendental Consciousness is unque in its ability to enliven total brai functioning. With regular practice of Transcendenta Meditation, the imense creative intelligence inherent in the brai physiology of everyone expresses itself increasingly in thought and action as one rises to higher states of consciousness-life in enlightenment, life spontaneously in harony with Natual Law.

2 45 Transcendental Consciousness as the Unified Field of Natural Law Quantu physicists have identified Transcendenta Consciousness-ths field of our own total intelligence-as the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nate, which gives rise to the infinte diversity of Natual Laws that govern the ever- expanding unverse with pedect order. Enlivenig this field of Nature's total intelligence in one's own awareness though Transcendenta Meditation gives the individual command over his life, with the organzing power to achieve any great goal. Transcendental Consciousness as the Basis of Human Physiolog From the understading provided by physiology, Tota Natural Law-exper- enced in Transcendental Consciousness-has been discovered as the intelli- gence at the basis of the stctues and functions of human physiology.l When ths iner intellgence within the body of everyone is enlivened though Consciousness-Based Education, then al thought and action is natually in full accord with the evolutionar direction of Natual Law. No one will violate Natural Law, and no one will create the basis of sufferig for hiself or others.

Transcendental Meditation and its Advanced Programmes as the Basis of National Invicibilty and World Peace Extensive research has shown that when large groups of individuals practice Transcendental Meditation and the advanced TM-Sidh Programe with Yogic Flying together in one place, orderliness (coherence), positivity, and harony in societ dramatically increase as measured by decreased cre and violence, decreased ci~l unest, more healthy behaviour, and improved economic and social trends. These peace-creatig groups can easily be formed by the students and teachers of the schools in a nation, or even a single large unversity. As students are rising to fulfil their own creative potential, at the same tie they are creating an

sro 7 2. Description of Selected Studies: Improved Intellectual Functioning, Enhanced Well-Being, and Improved Behaviour in Students · Development of intellgenc~Increased IQ (intelligence quotient) among university students. University stdents who regularly practised the Transcendental Meditation Programe increased significantly in intelligence and in the ability to make rapid choice decisions compared to control students (7). Ths finding corroborates other studies showig increased IQ and faster choice reaction though practice of Transcndenta Meditation. · Increased intellgence and improved mental and physical health among students preparing for unversity studies. Among Cambodian students tag one year of preparatory stdy before beginng their university degree programes, one group leared the practice of Transcendental Meditaon, while the others did not. Students who leared the Transcendental Meditation Programe showed increas intelligence over the course of thee month in contrast to the control students (102). Those who leared Transcendental Meditation also showed imroved physical health decreased depression, decreased anety, and increased self-esteem in contrast to two groups of control stdents (84). · Improved academic achievement, cognitive abilties, creativity, and self- esteem in university and secondary students. Longitudinal research on Transcendenta Meditation at the unversity and secondar levels shows increased development of intellectual ability, creativity, field independence (ability to maintai broad comprehension and shar focus at the sae tie), academic achievement, and self-esteem (3, 4, 7, 15, 19-21); improved self development to uniquely high levels (50, 100); and increased self-actualization (38-0 ). · Reduced substance abuse. ,Numerous studies with college students, high school students, and adults have shown reducton in substance abuse and antisocial behaviour though Transcendental Meditation. A special issue of the joural Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly (80) was devoted entiely to the effects of the Transcendenta Meditation Technque in reducing substance abuse. The research findings show reducton in usage of all classes of ilegal drugs, as well as of alcohol, cigarettes, and prescrbed drgs.

3. Benefits for Teachers and Admitrators The comprehensive benefits of Transcendental Meditation are experienced not only by students, but also by teachers and administrators. · Improved health and decreased stress. Research on the Transcendental

8 51 Meditation Programe has found long-term reductions on biochemical and other physiological indicators of stress (77, 81) and ageing (9, 82). Two studies, one of which was supported by the National Institutes of Health, demonstrated reductions in hypertension among the elderly (9, 83), replicating the findings of 14 ealier studies showing decreased hypertension, a major risk factor in hear disease. Especially promising for reducing health care costs in schools and unversities are the results of a study of insurance statistics of 2000 Transcendental Meditation Programe parcipants over a five-year period (47). The Transcendental Meditation group showed a 50% reduction in both inpatient and outpatient medical care utilization, as compared to matched controls; and lower sickness rates in all categories of disease. Longitudinal research in Canad demonstrated an average reduction of 14% per year in health care costs among those who leared Transcendental Meditation, in comparson to matched controls and controlling for infation (110). · Increased inner calm and balance. Effective teachers are able to maintain iner evenness and focus on their learg objectives while adaptig to continually changing demands in the classroom. The research findings of increased physiological stability and increased field independence though Transcendental Meditation directly relate to this ability. F or example, studies examg galvanc ski responses, which measure physiological excitation, found that the Transcendental Meditation Programe enables the body to react more quickly to a situation while at the sae tie retu more quickly to a calm state after the situation has passed (81). Simlarly, those who practise Transcendental Meditation have been found to significantly improve in field independence, a measure of the ability to maintain internal stability in a distracting environment (15).

· Increased creativity, personal satifaction, and self-actualiation. A major factor contrbutig to teacher satisfaction is the experience that one is progressing, and actualizing one's potential. Research shows the Transcendental Meditation Programe to be uniquely effective in promotig self-actualization, the experience that one is fulfillig one's potential (40). Other research shows longitudinal increases in creativity (2, 21) and physiological, cognitive and behavioural flexibility (9, 10, 14, 27). Growt of these qualities naturally results in expanding creativity in teachig, the ability to adapt fritflly to different situations with students, and the resultig fulfilment that comes from greater success. On the basis of greater fulfilment, teachers naturally flow in greater apprecia-

9 :5i tion and respect for their students, and feel greater commtment to the success of each student. Ths is borne out in the scientific research findings of increased tolerance, appreciation, wart~ helpfulness, and carng though the practice of Transcendental Meditation (2, 16, 39, 43, 44). · Increased job satisfaction, improved job performance, and better rela- tionships with supervsors and co-workers. The Transcendental Meditation Programe has been adopted in hundreds of businesses as a means of developing the human resources of the business, and increasing the efficiency and productivity of the company. Many of the benefits of Transcendental Meditation found in business apply equally to educational admistration. A three-month study of managers and employees in two businesses found that those who leared Transcendental Meditation showed increased job satisfaction, improved general health, greater effciency and productivity, and better work and personal relationships, compared to controls at the sae work sites; those learing Transcendental Meditation also decreased signficantly in aniety, job wony, and cigarette and alcohol use, compared to controls (42). study by researchers at the National Institute of Industral Health of the Japanese Minstr of Labour found that employees showed improved physical and mental health after learg the Transcendental Meditation Programme, in comparson to matched controls, including improved sleep quality, reduction of smokig, reduced physical complaints, and decreas aniety (45, 46). Benefits for the Educational Institution The increased effectiveness and well-being gained by teachers from ths practice contrbute profoundly to the success and vitality of the whole university, college, or schooL. The institution will also benefit financially from reduced illness and health care utilization among teachers and admistrators practising Transcendental Meditation. This programe is therefore an important addition to teacher traing courses and in-service staff development.

4. Benefits for Society: Creatig an Influence of Coherence and Harmony in Collective Consciousness

Fift research studies verify that when large groups of individuals practise the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programe with Yogic Flying together in one place, they radiate a measurable influence of coherence and harony in the whole society. Scientific research findings include reduced crime (85-89), reduced deaths due to homicides, suicides, and accidents (90), improved overall quality of life (87,

10 S3 88, 91-93), improved economic trends (88, 94, 95), and reduced conflict and violence (74, 87, 96, 97). Educational institutions can thus be sources of harmony and peace for the whole society. These powerfl fidings indicate how the schools of any counti, or a large university or college, ca create and maintai peace for the whole nation. If the groups of students and teachers are large enough, they will be radiatig a steady influence of coherence and harmony in the whole national consciousness as they individually are rising to higher states of consciousness.

5. Unique Effectiveness of Transcendental Meditation Verified by Meta-Analyses that Combine Many Research Findings in One Study The most powerfl and rigorous method for drawing conclusions from a large body of scientific research is the statistical procedure of meta-analysis. Four such meta-analyses have been published on the effects of the Transcendental Meditation Programe in comparson to other technques:

(l) Physiological rest. A meta-analysis published in American Psychologist reviewed the results of 3 i studies, and found that Transcendental Meditation produces more than twice the degree of physiological rest than is produced by simply sittg with eyes closed (98).

(2) Reduced trait anxiety. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology reviewed 146 research findings, and found Transcendental Meditation to produce more than twce the reduction in trait aniety (i.e., chronic stress) than produced by other techniques (65).

(3) Increased self-actualition. A meta-analysis published in the Journal of Social Behavior and Personality showed Transcendental Meditation to increase self-actualization by thee ties as large an effect as that of other technques (40).

(4) Reduced substance abuse. Another meta-analysis, published in Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly, showed the practice of Transcendental Meditation to result in a greater and more lastg reduction in consumption of alcohol, drgs, and cigarettes than other techniques or preventive education programes (69).

These meta-analysis studies verify that the Transcendenta Meditation Programe is unique in its holistic benefits. It is unque because the programe develops all levels of individua life-body, senses, mid, intellect, ego-by enlivenig their common basis, Transcendental Consciousness.

54 11 6. Conclusion- Invitation to Implement Consciousness-Based Education

The results of hundreds of scientific research studies on the Transcendental Meditation Programe, together with the five decades of educational experience worldwide, indicate that the universities or schools in any nation applying this approach to education will enjoy the blossomig of all aspects of life of both students and teachers, in an increasingly harmonious and vital learing environment.

Experience and Study of Consciousness as Part of the Curriculum Educational leaders in every countr are invited to implement Consciousness- Based Education in their universities and schools by adding to their academc day the twce-daily practice of the Transcendental Meditation Programe and later the TM-Sidh Programe with Yogic Flying. In addition to this direct experience of developing consciousness, the students can study the field of consciousness in a course that presents the scientific principles for the enchment of all areas of practical life. Though this study, students come to appreciate their own unbounded potential, and how to unfold it fully for the benefit of themselves and their society. With suffcient groups of students practising the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programe together, the whole nation will enjoy rising prosperity, harony, and invincibility; and society will realize its highest educational ideals.

The effectiveness of Consciousness-Based Education has been validated by hundreds of scientific research studies and decades of educational experience. The holistic benefits produced by this approach can easily be gained by the educational system of any countr, or any university or school, by adding experience and study of consciousness to the existig currculum, and without otherwise changing the educational system in any way.
