Can Group Meditation Bring World Peace? Quantum Physicist, John Hagelin Explains

http://tm.org John Hagelin, PhD, summarizes research supporting the promotion of peace through the Transcendental Mediation® technique.

Dr John Hagelin: I am going to show you very quickly some of the early research, this is the first study and I won’t go into great detail except to say that this experiment was performed in the Middle East during the peak of the Lebanon War in the early 1980′s.

It was hypothesized, based on many different smaller experiments that if enough people were collectively experiencing and stimulating this fundamental powerful field of peace within that there would be radiated influence of peace that would effect the behavior of people throughout society, people would wake up in the morning a decide “hey I don’t think I’ll kill anybody today.” What a novel thought, that you know with some expanded comprehension and less narrowly cramped, narrowly self centered, acutely stressed vision that the desperate acts of terrorism simply don’t really have a fertile field to fall on.

A thousand people on average practiced Transcendental Meditation in Jerusalem to see whether they could influence neighboring Lebanon in reducing war and terrorism and eventually World Peace.

John Hagelin is a world renowned quantum physicist who has been involved in the research on group meditation for improving the quality of life in society.
