Administration

How to Take Recourse to Higher Intelligence

The government can take recourse to the higher intelligence of Nature in two very simple ways:

• Education—introduce Consciousness-Based Education into the nation’s schools and colleges to enliven the total brain potential of every student, so that they rise to higher states of consciousness, and spontaneously move in the evolutionary direction of Natural Law.

Then they will not make mistakes and create problems for themselves and society. Simultaneously they will engage Total Natural Law to support their thoughts and actions, enabling them to achieve personal and professional fulfillment.

Introducing Consciousness-Based Education in the nation’s schools and colleges will fill national consciousness with peace and harmony, and will prevent problems arising in national life. (For a further explanation go to: Education)

• Create a Group for a Government—a Prevention Wing in National Life—a permanent group of peace-creating professionals who will practice Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying to create a highly coherent national consciousness, filled with harmony and peace.

A Group for a Government enlivens the holistic, evolutionary qualities of the Unified Field of Natural Law—the field of higher intelligence in Nature that is the source of the administration of the ever-expanding universe with perfect order and without a problem.

Engaging the infinite organizing power of the Unified Field of Natural Law to support the activities of the government and the whole population, anything is possible for national life. Any aspiration of national life for peace and prosperity can be fulfilled.

National life will be found to be spontaneously, peacefully moving in the evolutionary direction—in accord with Natural Law—the Will of God— without mistakes and problems. The nation’s government will achieve the ideal of preventive government—avert the danger that has not yet come—creating for the first time a truly prevention-oriented and problem-free administration.

The whole population will be uplifted by the nourishing intelligence of Natural Law. The nation will blossom in the abundance of Nature’s infinite creativity. National consciousness will be so highly integrated and full of peace and harmony, that the birth of an enemy inside or outside the nation will be prevented now and in the future.

There are so many departments in the government to address problems that have arisen, and billions are spent in futile efforts to eliminate these problems. What is needed now is a wing of the government dedicated to the prevention of problems before they arise. A Group for a Government—a group of Yogic Flyers professionally employed by the government—fulfils this role of a Prevention Wing for the nation’s life. (For a further explanation, go to Defence)

Gaining the Support of the Government of the Universe—Total Natural Law—to Bring Fulfillment to Every Government

As we have seen, existing governments in every nation, being man-made, are full of failures and weaknesses. Clearly every government could use help from a more powerful and effective government. But since all governments, even in the most powerful countries, are full of problems, where is the government that can lend your nation a hand?

There is one perfect government that we all know—the Government of the Universe though Natural Law, which conducts the activity of 100 billion galaxies, each with billions of suns, with perfect order and without a problem throughout the eternity of time. Again: This is not a man-made government, but the God-made Government of the Universe. What an amazing organizing power this Government of the Universe possesses!

What every government needs is to gain the support of this infinite organizing power of Natural Law—the higher intelligence that administers the universe—so that it can effortlessly fulfill all its aspirations to prevent problems and secure lasting peace and prosperity in national life.

This is gaining the support for your government of a Second Government—the Government of the Universe, Natural Law. This in reality is not a second government at all, but the primary government, the higher intelligence that administers the universe, the government that is universal, all-powerful and timeless.

Not Necessary to Disturb the Existing System of Administration

Bringing the total support of higher intelligence to national administration can be achieved without disturbing the existing system of administration in any way.

It is only necessary:

(1) to provide in the existing educational system the knowledge to develop the total brain potential of the students, so that they spontaneously act in the evolutionary direction of Natural Law, and live a mistake-free, problem-free life; and

(2) to create a Prevention Wing of Yogic Flyers who will directly enliven the holistic evolutionary qualities of the Unified Field of Natural Law in national consciousness, so that all of national life is in alliance with the Constitution of the Universe—Total Natural Law.

The result will be that the orderly, nourishing cosmic administration of the universe by Natural Law will administer life on earth—so that governments are prevention-oriented and problem-free, life is perpetually peaceful, and the inner and outer glories of Heaven on Earth are enjoyed by the whole human race, for this generation and countless generations to come.

Research Confirming the Effectiveness of Administration through Natural Law to Prevent and Eliminate Problems

Scientific research on the programs of Consciousness-Based Education, a Group for a Government and Consciousness-Based approaches to all other areas comprises more than 650 studies conducted at over 300 independent research institutions and universities in more than 30 countries. These include Harvard University; Yale University; University of Chicago; University of Michigan; University of California at Los Angeles; Ohio State University; Indiana University; University of Kansas; and University of Colorado, USA; Institute of Industrial Health of the Japanese Ministry of Labor; All-India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi; St. George’s Hospital, London; York University, Canada; University of Lund, Sweden; University of Groningen, the Netherlands; University of New South Wales, Australia; and Institute La Rochefoucauld, France.

This research has been published in many leading scientific journals, including:

American Journal of Cardiology, Hypertension, Stroke, Science, Respiration, American Journal of Physiology, Scientific American, American Journal of Psychiatry, Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, American Journal of Managed Care, Journal of the Canadian Medical Association, Japanese Journal of Industrial Health, Japanese Journal of Public Health, Harefuah (Journal of the Israel Medical Association), Journal of the Association of Physicians of India, New Zealand Family Physician, Journal of Behavioral Medicine, Psychosomatic Medicine, Journal of Applied Physiology, International Journal of the Addictions, Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly, Biochemical Archives, International Journal of Neuroscience, Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, Experimental Neurology, Complementary Medicine International, Nutrition Research, European Journal of Pharmacology, Neuropharmacology, Physiology and Behavior, Hormones and Behavior, Pharmacology, Biochemistry, and Behavior, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, Federation of American Societies of Experimental Biology Journal, Homeostasis in Health and Disease, Journal of Human Stress, American Psychologist, Journal of Clinical Psychology, The Journal of Psychology, British Journal of Psychology, British Journal of Educational Psychology, Education, Biological Psychology, Journal of Conflict Resolution, The Journal of Mind and Behavior, The Journal of Counseling Psychology, Psychology Crime and Law, and Social Indicators Research.

Scientifically Proven Improvements in All Areas of Life

These studies document a remarkable range of improvements in physical, mental, and social functioning, including far-reaching applications in the fields of health, education, higher personality development, business and management, and rehabilitation. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the progressive unfoldment of the unlimited potential of human life—life in higher states of consciousness. This is exemplified both by growth of integration, balance, creativity, and intelligence, and by the spontaneous development of life-supporting behavior—life in accordance with Natural Law—the hallmark of enlightenment and the essential foundation for a successful, happy, problem-free life for the individual and society.

Fifty rigorously-controlled studies have shown that the benefits created by groups of experts in Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying extend beyond the individual to the growth of harmony and integration in society as a whole, as demonstrated by reduction of negative tendencies and growth of positive trends throughout the community, the nation, and the world.

Summary of Scientific Findings

The following is a summary of scientific findings on programs of Administration through Natural Law over the past thirty-five years.

• Increased orderliness and integration of brain functioning— development of the total brain

• Reduced need for medical care: over 50 percent reduction in need for medical care and progressive decrease in health care costs

• Comprehensive reduction of risk factors for disease: reductions in atherosclerosis (‘hardening of the arteries’), high blood pressure, and cholesterol levels; sustained reduction and cessation of cigarette smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug abuse; powerful protection against free radicals; more successful weight reduction in obese subjects; decreased physiological and psychological stress levels; reductions in anxiety, depression, and hostility; and improvements in occupational health, job satisfaction, and overall psychological health and well-being.

• Improved cardiovascular health: decreased atherosclerosis; reduction of high blood pressure, greater cost effectiveness in treating mild hypertension than medication; improvement in angina pectoris and cardiac syndrome X; reduced cholesterol levels; enhanced resistance to lipid oxidation; reduced platelet aggregation, improvement in diabetes

• Sustained reduction and cessation of smoking, alcohol consumption and drug abuse

• Elimination of stress – immediate and persisting reductions in physiological, psychological, and behavioral correlates of stress.

• Changes opposite to damaging effects of aging

• Increased longevity, improved health and greater well-being for elderly people

• Reduced toxic effects of cancer chemotherapy (human, animal, and cellular studies)

• Powerful anti-oxidant effects—highly effective protection against both free radical and non-radical oxidants (which play a central role in the aging process and in many major disorders)

• Enhanced immune cell functioning

• Protection against cancer and chemical toxicity (animal and cellular studies)

• Comprehensive improvements in mental health and well-being

• Enhanced intelligence, creativity, perceptual ability, mind-body co-ordination, and moral development

• Increased academic achievement

• Improved occupational health, enhanced job satisfaction, and increased productivity

• Effective rehabilitation of offenders

• The Maharishi Effect: improved collective health for society, the nation, and the world—reductions in crime, violence, accidents, suicides, social turbulence, civil and international conflict, war intensity and casualties, and improvements in economic prosperity, national integration, progress towards peace in situations of conflict, international co-operation, and world harmony

This is an extraordinary and unprecedented set of scientific findings that opens the door to a new era of governmental success for every government on earth.

The following research findings on the Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques, including Yogic Fying, selected from the more than 600 research studies, are particularly significant for success in administration. The numbers in parentheses after the finding refer to the publication references of the original research papers, which are listed at the end of this document.

Automation in Administration

Automation in the administration of society is when the administration of society is problem-free, spontaneously preventing any misfortune from arising. This can only be achieved by enlivening the Constitution of the Universe—the Unified Field of Natural Law—in the collective consciousness of the society, which raises individual life and the life of the society as a whole to be in accord with Natural Law.

Coherence is created in the collective consciousness of society from the level of the Unified Field of Natural Law through the Maharishi Effect—the influence of harmony and orderliness generated by large groups of individuals participating together in the Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques, including Yogic Fying.

The following research findings demonstrate that one per cent of a population practicing Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation technique or the square root of one per cent collectively practicing Yogic Flying radiate a powerful influence of coherence and harmony in collective consciousness, bringing life in accordance with all the Laws of Nature, neutralizing negative tendencies and promoting positive trends in society as a whole, thereby creating the basis for problem-free administration of the nation.
