INVITATION
NEWS CONFERENCE

MAHARISHI: "I WILL CREATE PEACE"
Terrorism and conflict impossible once Maharishi
establishes "lighthouses of coherence" in every nation
"We want to prevent the day from coming
when any country will have to face a missile"
(15 JULY) His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi will create
world peace by establishing large groups of experts in his
peace-promoting Vedic technologies of consciousness in
every nation. And he will do it by himself-without the support
of governments. But if even one country remains stressed
and without a group, world peace will be jeopardised.
This will be Maharishi's message to the press during a global
news conference, to be held on Wednesday, 17 July 2002,
at 4.00 p.m. UK time and broadcast live via satellite, Internet
webcast, and teleconference (full details below).
Last week, in a bold and unprecedented announcement,
Maharishi declared that he would create a peaceful world
on his own-and no longer seek government help. This
week, Maharishi will reveal details of his global plan.
Maharishi will explain that these large groups of Vedic
experts will act as "lighthouses of coherence" to reduce
acute stress in world consciousness. Through their daily
practice of Transcendental Meditation, its advanced
techniques, and Yogic Flying, "these experts will enliven
the deepest level of Nature's functioning-the Unified Field
of Natural Law, the Will of God-and create an indomitable
influence of coherence and harmony throughout the world,"
Maharishi says. "Problems will disappear as darkness
disappears with the onset of light."
Global plan
Maharishi will emphasise that his plan is "global" - that every
nation must have a peace-promoting group to ensure a safe
and secure world. "If even one single country is stressed,
world peace will be shaken, just as one little thorn throws
the whole body off balance. So the whole world consciousness
must be made coherent. Those leaders who don't realise the
importance of creating global coherence today will realise it
when bombs fall on their countries. We want to prevent that
day from coming when any country will have to face a missile.
That is why we must attend to the whole world."
The groups will be formed from among the millions of people
who practise Transcendental Meditation worldwide, and funded
through philanthropic investments to a world peace fund
(www.globalcountry.org), or through business enterprises
created by the many thousands of successful business
leaders in Maharishi's worldwide organisation.
The Vedic experts will not travel around the country or preach.
"They will just create a peaceful effect. Problems will disappear
as darkness disappears with the onset of light," Maharishi says.
