Dr John Hagelin explains consciousness as a field

In this video Dr John Hagelin explains consciousness as a field. Hagelin is a world renowned quantum physicist, and states that we are all intimately connected by a unified field of consciousness. In effect, this field expresses infinite dynamic intelligence that is the basis of all of creation.

TM accesses the collective consciousness

Research shows that people practising Transcendental Meditation and the advanced TM-Sidhi technique, experience very high brainwave coherence or brain wave orderliness during their meditation.

But that is not all. The enhanced coherence seen in these individuals also creates coherence in the collective consciousness. Importantly, this coherence generates a unifying and integrating effect in the life of society. In turn, this effect results in a decrease of negative social trends. For instance researchers observe crime, terrorist activity, accidents, and sickness decline. Simultaneously to these trends there is an increase in positive social, economic, and political trends.

Why TM influences the whole of society

TM is a technique of consciousness and scientists are now seeing consciousness as a field similar to the other fields known in physics, such as electromagnetism and gravity.

The coherence in brain functioning generated by TM spreads through this ‘field of consciousness’ in the same way that light radiates from a light bulb. This radiating effect connects the meditator to people in the surrounding neighbourhood. This intimate connection then increases their positivity and reduces their stressed thinking and behaviour. This is why people sitting with their eyes closed meditating can reduce crime and other negativity in the surrounding population. This result occurs without recourse to any other interaction with that population.

The Maharishi effect

Scientists named this field effect the ‘Super Radiance’ effect and also the ‘Maharishi Effect’, after His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who predicted its occurrence back in the 1960s. Numerous studies show that the intensity of the super radiance effect is increased when a group of people practise Yogic Flying.
