A New "Secret Weapon!"
After Mozambique's civil war, the economy boomed, and the crime rate decreased. President Alberto Joachim Chissano attributed the war's demise and these other positive trends largely to new human resource technology he called a "new secret weapon." He and many other military leaders are convinced that these changes occurred from the implementation of this new technology.
Surprisingly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Mozambique added another duty which involved a human resource-based technology. The Joint Chiefs assured selected military units of the Mozambique Ground, Naval and Air Forces that this radically different approach could unite the national spirit and prevent the civil war from flaring up again. At the same time, the new technology would prevent enemies outside the country from attacking. Even more surprising, the new "weapon" turned out to be a simple meditation technique practiced by groups of soldiers twice daily.
In the beginning, conventional military strategists scoffed at the novel strategy. However, today, due to Mozambique's success on many fronts, other governments may be attracted to the new strategy. The Mozambique military may have harnessed universal laws of nature. The basic principle is seen in physical systems. Certain "internally" coherent systems have the ability to protect themselves against disruptive influences, while "incoherent" systems are easily penetrated by disorder from the outside.
Invincibility Arises From A Coherent Source.
One example of such an "invincible shield" is the Meissner
Effect (see figure). It takes place at the quantum level of
superconductivity. In a superconductor, the coherent functioning of
the electrons spontaneously excludes an external, disruptive
magnetic field. This system maintains its impenetrable status
because no random or chaotic activity can take place within it.
Ordinary electrical conductors are not impenetrable because the
random activity of incoherent and disordered electrons allows
penetration of an external magnetic field

On
the left, an external magnetic field penetrates an
ordinary conductor whose electrons behave in a chaotic or
disorderly way. On the right, the external magnetic field
is excluded from the interior of a super-conductor whose
electrons function in a coherent collective
manner-invincibility.

The
Maharishi Effect creates invincible "national armor"
that cannot be penetrated by the collective negativity of
other countries.

Physics Describes the Unified Field.
Research in theoretical physics during the past decade has led to a progressively more unified understanding of profound and powerful laws of nature, culminating in the recent discovery of completely unified field theories. These theories locate a single field of intelligence at the basis of all matter and force fields in the universe. In this field, all the known fundamental forces of nature (the weak force, the strong force, the electromagnetic force, and gravitation) are unified.
Can the Unified Field be Harnessed?
Could this field of intelligence be tapped? Modern theorists have long puzzled over consciousness and its relationship to physics. To ancient societies, there was no puzzle: a coherent human mind was able to contact deeper levels of nature-levels that we would now place in the realm of quantum mechanics. Some modern physicists hold that the mind, and/or consciousness, can be located at the quantum mechanical level. If this is correct, then the mind has the ability to connect with more subtle levels of nature. Perhaps this is the secret underlying the technology used by Mozambique’s military.
Overcoming an Enemy Through A Technology Of The Unified Field
Research conducted by nearly 50 investigators representing 17 universities and research institutes indicates the immense power of the collective mind could be used not only to end a conflict, but also to prevent an enemy from arising in the first place. As unusual as this strategy may seem, a similar approach is gaining momentum in health care. Wise health care providers emphasize prevention-oriented strategies because preventing illness from arising is more cost-effective than to dealing with it once it has arisen. Might it be reasonable for any nation’s military to adopt this strategy to prevent terrorism, war and conflict?
The answer now appears to be "yes." Published scientific research indicates that any military can collectively create harmony and orderliness in society. Society exhibits its own collective spirit-which can have varying degrees of orderliness. Compare the American spirit after Pearl Harbor with the lack of it during the Vietnam conflict. Past experience worldwide shows that the spirit of the people is a powerful strategic asset.
Nearly 50 scientific studies indicate that the approach described above can increase orderliness and harmony in society. The results of these tests are too far-reaching to be explained by field effects associated with any of the four basic forces of nature, leading researchers to conclude that they arise from a more profound level-possibly the unified field of all the laws of nature.
Transcendental Meditation
The specific meditation techniques applied in Mozambique were the
Transcendental Meditation The TM and TM-Sidhi programmes originate in the ancient Vedic
tradition of India. More than five million people worldwide have
learned it, including members of all religions and walks of life.
Practice of the TM programme does not require changing one’s
religious beliefs, dress, diet or personal attitude. Over forty
years ago, scientist and educator Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, who is
responsible for reviving the technique, predicted that a small
fraction of the population could improve the quality of life for
everyone simply by meditating twice a day. The tremendous strategic
advantage that could be gained by implementing a unified field based
technology to augment existing defence systems should not be
overlooked.
The 1% And The Square Root of 1% Formulas
Over the years, published studies have documented societal
changes due to practice of the TM programme. The changes include:
reductions in war deaths and improvements in economic conditions,
improved quality of life as well as reductions in crime, violence,
accidents, and illness. These changes in social indicators all
occurred when the number of meditators reached about 1% of the
population in the area under study, whether a city, a province, or a
nation. The studies involving participants in the more advanced TM-Sidhi
programme showed similar results when only approximately the square
root of 1% of the population were practicing the technique together
in one place. In the early 1980’s, research revealed that
coherence-creating groups collectively practicing the TM-Sidhi
programme in Israel and other countries reduced the war deaths in
Lebanon by 71%, war injuries by 68%, and the level of conflict by
48%, and cooperation among antagonists rose by 66%. Coherence
This coherence-creating effect was first predicted by Maharishi
years before scientific studies came along to support his
prediction. He based this prediction on the knowledge contained in
the ancient Vedic literature and on discussions with physicists
about the coherent effects observed in physical systems such as
the laser.
Laser light is much more powerful than light emitted from a
conventional source. Astronauts on the moon could not see the
millions of watts of conventional light illuminating New York City
at night. However, they were able to see laser light originating
from the earth at levels as low as 15 watts. This is the average
energy output of a night-light! Why was the much dimmer 15 watt
laser light visible, but the millions of watts originating from
whole cities on Earth were not? The coherent light of a laser is
different from conventional light. The intensity of normal light
is emitted in direct proportion to the number of atoms involved.
Excited atoms emit photons while returning to the ground state.
This light is emitted at various frequencies in different
directions, producing what a physicist would call
"incoherent" light, all mixed up. In a laser, however, a
type of collective behavior distinguished by its orderliness
emerges. The atoms are in perfect correlation with each other and
no longer act independently. They operate together as one complete
and coherent system. The result is that the intensity of the light
emitted by a number of atoms, N, increases tremendously, actually
in proportion to N squared. If 100 atoms are perfectly in phase
with one another in the laser, they will radiate with an intensity
of 100 squared, or 10,000 times that of a single atom. Illustration of Conventional Light and Laser Light
Research indicates that a similar quantum field effect appears
to be created in the group during group practice of the TM-Sidhi
program. The influence of this coherence radiates from the group
to society. A simple analogy can be used to understand this
concept. Imagine a large tank of water that is filled with
floating corks all at rest. Grasping and bobbing just one of the
corks up and down in the water create waves. These waves spread
and in turn cause the others corks to start bobbing.
If Collective Consciousness Is Turbulent, Society Is
Disorderly.
The abilities of individuals or groups practicing the
Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi techniques to reduce
violence and war can be viewed from another perspective.
Scientists postulate that every society has a collective
consciousness. This collective consciousness is the sum of all the
influences created by the individual members of that society. This
collective consciousness, in turn, affects the thoughts and
feelings of those same individuals. If the collective
consciousness is turbulent and stressed, full of tension and fear,
then disorder is liable to erupt in violence and warfare. Social
injustice and unfavorable economic conditions thrive in disorderly
environments. Religious, territorial, political and cultural
differences are seized upon and used to further contribute to
unrest. Thus the frustrated and dissatisfied population of any
country contributes to its instability and disorder. Therefore,
the build-up of friction in the nation becomes dangerous to its
sovereignty, producing an unstable government that is more prone
to war. Disorder can take the form of civil strife or of tension
and conflict with neighboring countries. If a war between two
nations, a civil war, or even a coup d'état, occurs, other
groups or nations can exacerbate the situation as they take
advantage of the situation. The reign of terror in France in the
1790’s and Germany in the 1930’s are among many historical
examples of collective stress driving social disorder and spilling
out into other nations.
The Military leaders of Mozambique, Leading Military
Innovators
Concern over such disorder in their country prompted
Mozambique's military leaders to deploy their secret weapon. They
were trailblazers who applied this human-resource technology to
increase coherence in the collective consciousness in their
country. Obviously, this approach has not been widely accepted in
military circles. Even though defensive radar systems routinely
radiate electromagnetic waves over a hundred miles, the idea that
human mind could have a similar effect-at-a-distance and could be
used to create a defence system is novel. Many defence strategists
see the mind and brain as the same. Consciousness is viewed as
being trapped inside the head. The possibility that the proper
collective use of the human minds of our military personnel could
create a much more powerful and profound field effect has not been
widely explored.
This is a revolutionary concept. But so were the ideas for many
other aspects of our defence systems that are now considered
vital. For instance, although the breech-loading rifle was far
superior to muzzle loaders, it took years for armies to adopt.
Even more extreme is the example of airpower. Few leaders thought
that Billy Mitchell would bomb and sink mighty battleships with
flimsy flying machines made out of wood, cloth, and baling wire.
Military history has shown that new scientific technologies can
give a strategic advantage, even at a distance. We need only look
to the radar "shield" deployed in England during World
War II. It maximized the fighting power of the under-sized Royal
Air Force.
Many of today’s "tried and proven" technologies
were yesterday’s pipe dreams. Mozambique may have secured a
prominent place in military history. After the programme was
underway in 1993, positive trends were noticed. Peace was
maintained. Crime, which is normally expected to increase at the
end of a war, actually decreased, as predicted by Maharishi Effect
scientists. The next year, the military began to be demobilized.
Lt. General Tobias Dai, then Commander of the Armed Forces (now
the Defence Minister), noticed a sudden change. "What is very
clear is that once the positive effect is created, if group
practice is stopped, the previous tendencies of higher collective
stress, as determined from the crime indexes and the tense
situations in the country, began to rise again. In 1994, there was
a remarkable decrease in coherence in the country as a result of
decreased participation in the group practice of the
Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi Programme..."
Dai attributed the dip in coherence to the demobilization of
the troops and anticipated ending of TM courses for future police
officers. Dai also said in 1994 that "until now, although
with several difficulties, the maintenance of peace has been
possible during these 2 years, and free and just elections have
been carried out..." Coherence-creating groups of meditators
were re-created. A year later, the US National Defence council
dropped Mozambique from the list of conflicts in the world, and
stability has since been sustained. Perhaps it will not be long
before Mozambique's military leaders are ranked along with other
pioneers such as the Italian airpower advocate Giulio Douhet.
General Douhet’s strategy still applies today: "Victory
smiles upon those who anticipate the change in the character of
war, not upon those who wait to adapt themselves after the changes
occur." In the tradition of military pioneers, the militaries
of other Africian countries could conduct their own
coherence-creating groups which could hasten the progress of
another dream--the prevention of terrorism, war and conflict. Prevention Wings of the Military--Avert the Danger Before
It Comes
The coherence-creating effects of this novel technology and
its ability to reduce collective stress could easily be tested
by other military research institutions. Such an experiment
would be conducted by creating more "Prevention Wings of
the Military" in Africa. Research indicates that the effect
of introducing a coherent system of this magnitude would be
enough to significantly reduce the collective stress in Africa.
Threats To Peace Greater than Ever
The post-USSR world has proven to be a more dangerous place
than one might have imagined. There are no well-defined
opponents. Nuclear weapons from the former Soviet arsenal and
other weapons of mass destruction are allegedly available on the
black market. No other military strategy effectively copes with
the possibility of even one weapon winding up in the wrong
hands. The terrorist attacks of September 11th and recent
anthrax scare in the United States prove that no nation is safe.
New defense technologies must be continually evaluated and
deployed to deal with such threats. The human resource-based
technology outlined above has been successfully field-tested.
Prevention Wings of the Military can be deployed quickly, and
inexpensively, and deliver quantifiable results.
Victory Before War!
Warriors since ancient Chinese General Sun Tzu have
championed the idea of winning without fighting. In his famous
treatise The Art of War, Sun Tzu said: "To fight and
conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme
excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without
fighting." What the ancients called a clever fighter is one
who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease. He wins his
battles by making no mistakes. Making no mistakes is what
establishes the certainty of victory, for it means conquering an
enemy that is already defeated.
Following the successes of Mozambique's "Prevention Wing
of the Military," more countries may soon apply this
strategy to create the highest ideal of military service:
Invincibility without harm for military personnel or the nation;
and lasting peace for the world-victory before war.
