Fri, 06 Sep 2024 00:00:00 EST http://www.globalgoodnews.com/world-peace-a.html?art=17002890175498589 An Open Letter to the President of the United States and All World Leaders appeared on Friday, 3 November, as a full-page advertisement on page A9 of The Wall Street Journal. The Global Union of Scientists for Peace offered 'a proven technology for peace, security, and a swift resolution of conflict' in Ukraine, the Middle East, and elsewhere in the world. Dr. Tony Nader, Chairman, said this innovative solution would 'cost less than one day of war'. '[It] is based in the most fundamental value of life: consciousness. Research has found that small groups practicing the Transcendental Meditation and advanced TM-Sidhi program together create a coherence effect that significantly reduces violence, crime, and war. This technology of consciousness has been confirmed in 56 empirical studies, 28 of which have been published in peer-reviewed scholarly journals. From research over 40 years, we can say definitively: this solution works. ... It can be tried even while the fighting is still going on. Our world cannot afford to wait.' Dr. Nader invited 'well-wishers [to] now step forward to permanently establish these groups. I invite all angel philanthropists to immediately create permanent world peace.'

Thu, 12 Jan 2023 00:00:00 EST http://www.globalgoodnews.com/science-news-a.html?art=16721172412577238 A study published this month in the World Journal of Social Science found that group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi techniques by the square root of 1% of a population decreased multiple stress indicators in the U.S. The study is the longest and most comprehensive of 50 studies to demonstrate the Maharishi Effect, named in honour of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, founder of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) programme and Maharishi International University (MIU). The paper concludes with a call to create a permanent 'square root of 1%' group for the whole world - 8,000 participants practising the TM and TM-Sidhi programme together in one place. The world is interconnected, no one is safe until everyone is safe, living in harmony. This is easily within reach of any government or the world's wealthiest citizens. The person who does it will be remembered as the greatest leader in history. Thu, 29 Dec 2022 00:00:00 EST
