Global Country of World Peace
by José Villamil
A press release from Holland, seemingly too optimistic and frank, but in the current circumstances of world crisis, it could be the true and the only road to take humanity out of the deeper and deeper crisis concerning peace, economy and general well-being. It is interesting to analyze it and share their ideas.
The Hindu scientist Maharishi, creator of Transcendental Meditation (TM), announced that he will begin shortly the application of his formula to reach and combat the root of crime, violence, terrorism; and therefore, create a world of peace.
He affirmed that if the practice of TM is achieved in schools and colleges, we will be able to obtain the development and total harmony of the capacities of both brain hemispheres and with it, the global understanding of the aspects of reality: not only of the visible reality but of the reality non perceptible with the senses or available through the researches of modern science.
He said that he will create groups of experts in advanced techniques__such as "Yogic Flying"__in each city, to generate positive mental waves to create a state of harmony and coherence, reduce collective stress and this way promote productivity, peace and well-being in society.
Maharishi exalted the unbounded dignity of human life, as inherent to Natural Law and the Will of God. He indicated that the man has a cosmic intelligence that can be incorporated in all aspects of life through Transcendental Meditation. TM is a very simple technique to develop the highest levels of consciousness and forms of life in our existence.
It has been the lack of consciousness or the inability to perceive the reality in all its dimension what has made the failure of the social organization systems, that until today the humanity has attempted without success in its desire to achieve well-being for all. Man-made Constitutions, therefore with errors, have always been structured to favor the powerful, being the germ of injustice and reactions that have taken to violence, crime, war, causing breaches impossible to save with political and conventional measures. It is necessary, according to Maharishi, to support the Constitutions with Total Natural Law, that is to say, the Will of God.
Maharishi highlighted that under the present circumstances, to punish is a mistake, because the blame is of the law and of those who forged it, the State; and that itself is immoral. He affirmed that the biggest cause of crime is the educational failure, because it partially develops the brain, there is not a complete psychology, and that causes dissatisfactions that then create problems to themselves and to others. Maharishi concluded: "If the governments don't educate, how can they punish?"
Finally, he presented production projects for the underdeveloped countries through appropriate financing and organic productive techniques with added value, to eliminate the poverty of our peoples. Let's join him!
