Meissner Effect
A universal principle in Nature is that internally coherent systems possess the ability to repel external influences, while incoherent systems are easily penetrated by disorder from outside. When a significant number of individuals practise the TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, in a group, the infinite coherence inherent within self-referral consciousness is spontaneously enlivened in collective consciousness, and every aspect of national life becomes connected. National life not only becomes perfectly balanced, but no negative influences from outside or from within the society can disturb this balance. This is true invincibility.

The goal of Consciousness-Based Education is to culture and awaken every student’s vision to appreciate and live the unbounded potential of human life. When students are educated in this profound and unique system, they grow to appreciate the deeper, more powerful reality beyond the surface of their perception, from where their whole life can be most effectively organized and fulfilled. They become aware of the common unifying elements of all fields of study and their own intelligence—aware of the essential unity of life.


The unifying principles

The twice-daily practice of the Transcendental Meditation Programme gives the direct experience of the source of the unifying principles of Creative Intelligence, the home of all the Laws of Nature, Transcendental Consciousness.

This experience, together with the study of these principles through the Science of Creative Intelligence and Maharishi’s Vedic Science, awakens these unifying principles and qualities of Creative Intelligence more and more fully in the students’ own thinking, action, and behaviour, so that their lives are increasingly healthy, happy, progressive, and intelligently conducted.

The students become increasingly able to make choices and guide the progress of their lives not on the basis of surface perceptions—or even from thought, analysis, feeling, or ego alone; but from the most evolutionary, nourishing, creative, and intelligent field of their existence, Transcendental Consciousness, their Self—the Unified Field of Natural Law—which spontaneously enriches every level of the entire universe.


School groups create coherence in national consciousness

As Transcendental Consciousness—the Unified Field—is increasingly enlivened in collective consciousness through group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, by entire school populations, the unifying principles of Creative Intelligence—the Laws of Nature—not only create coherence in the surrounding community, but become lively in all areas of national life—Education, Health, Administration, Economy, Defence, etc., resulting in these areas most effectively serving the good of the citizens and the nation as a whole.


The Maharishi Effect

The phenomenon of the rise of coherence in the collective consciousness of any community or nation, through the enlivenment of these unifying principles, through the collective practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes is called The Maharishi Effect.

Almost 50 studies document improved quality of life and significant reductions in negative trends of society, including decreased violence and crime rate, when the Transcendental Meditation Programme and its advanced aspect, the TM-Sidhi Programme, are practised in large groups. These studies have clearly demonstrated that when one per cent of the population of a city or town practises the Transcendental Meditation Programme, there is significant reduction in negative trends and increase in positive trends in society.

Similarly, when groups of individuals, equal to at least the square root of one per cent of a population, practise Maharishi’s TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, there is a significant reduction of crime and accidents, as well as an increase in economic vitality, improved quality of life, and decreased conflict between nations.

How does The Maharishi Effect work?

Just as a radio transmitter creates waves in the electromagnetic field, individuals constantly create influences on all parts of creation simply because consciousness permeates every aspect of the material universe. To illustrate, if a stone is thrown into a pond, waves are produced that travel throughout the pond. Each wave produces some effect in every part of the pond. Similarly, the wave of individual life, through its activity, produces an influence in all parts of the cosmos.


In the same way, a group of individuals practising the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programmes bring a powerful influence of orderliness and harmony to collective consciousness, enabling an entire population to act more coherently, more harmoniously, and more in accord with Natural Law. On this basis, Maharishi has brought to light the potential for every nation to create invincibility for itself and for all its citizens.


Invincibility

A universal principle in Nature is that internally coherent systems possess the ability to repel external influences, while incoherent systems are easily penetrated by disorder from outside. Invincibility not only describes the ability of a nation to maintain resistance to any enemies—both within the nation and outside of it—it also describes a state in which every aspect of national life is in perfect balance. Invincibility is a state of fully integrated, perfectly coherent national consciousness, in which the inner depth of consciousness is integrated with the outer values of life.

When a significant number of individuals practise the TM-Sidhi Programme, including Yogic Flying, in a group (the size varies depending upon the size of the nation’s population), the infinite coherence inherent within self-referral consciousness is spontaneously enlivened in collective consciousness, and every aspect of national life becomes connected. National life not only becomes perfectly balanced, but no negative influences from outside or from within the society can disturb this balance. This is true invincibility.


Invincibility Schools Using Maharishi’s Technologies of Consciousness, schools can rise to become centres of harmony and coherence for the whole society. That is why new Consciousness-Based schools are called Invincibility Schools.


Students who attend Invincibility Schools will grow in the fruit of all knowledge—life free from mistakes, spontaneously lived in harmony with Natural Law. Such students will naturally see the eternal, non-changing foundation of unity upon which all diversity rests—and they will effortlessly move through their lives upholding and nourishing everyone and everything around them.

From this unshakeable foundation, these students will rise to fulfil their highest aspirations and prove to be enlightened citizens, and create the foundation for invincibility for their nations.


‘It’s a beautiful feeling to know that I am doing something so good for myself and the world.’
