A group of a few thousand students in every country practicing the peace-creating technologies of the Unified Field—total Natural Law—will do what the military and police can never do: create coherent national consciousness, raise the country to invincibility, and safeguard all the people.

This was the simple, direct message delivered to heads of state and education ministers by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi during Maharishi’s November 10 global news conference, which was broadcast live on all continents via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. Maharishi will speak to the world press during his next global news conferences on November 17 and 18.

Coherent collective consciousness will prevent the birth of an enemy

“Schools are already providing knowledge to students, so it will be effortless for them to provide the knowledge of total Natural Law—the Constitution of the Universe—which administers the universe with perfect order,” Maharishi said. “By offering total knowledge through one classroom period a day—and training students to utilize total Natural Law within their own self-referral consciousness—every government will ensure that individual and national consciousness will become so coherent, harmonious, and positive that no enemy will ever be born.”

Understanding total Natural Law through the physical sciences,
the holy texts of every religion, and the Vedic science of consciousness

Maharishi explained that total Natural Law—the field of consciousness—can be understood in terms of the physical sciences, the holy texts of every religion, and the Vedic science of consciousness. “This is the same eternal knowledge that has been available throughout time—and which can now be adopted to create a beautiful, harmonious world today,” Maharishi said.

“My offer is for those who want to utilize the knowledge”

Maharishi emphasized that his offer is for those who want to utilize the knowledge—and that he is not attempting to convince anyone to adopt it. “Those who are determined to suffer, let them suffer—we don’t waste our time trying to convince them to stop,” said Maharishi, who then added: “And those who are fond of destroying, let them destroy. We appeal to those who have the power to understand. We just need a few thousand people—an insignificant percentage of the population—who want peace, who want bliss, who want harmony. They will take to this knowledge and radiate a peaceful effect in the atmosphere. Then the thinking of the leaders will be more positive and coherent, and the people who are making mistakes in their lives will spontaneously stop making mistakes and get on the right track. But we don’t have to convince anyone. One lamp is good enough to light the entire hall—every inch of the hall doesn’t need to have a lamp to eliminate the darkness.”

Maharishi calls on retired people to create world peace

In addition to students, Maharishi appealed to retired people to contribute their share in creating world peace. “All the retired people who feel concern about the world should practice Transcendental Meditation. They will enjoy peace within themselves, and they will radiate peace for their children and grandchildren,” Maharishi said.

“Tell the people and governments:
‘The ball is in their court’”

Maharishi concluded by calling on the press to take his message to all the people and every government. “The people are used to suffering and difficulties and problems. But the press guides the trends of thought in the world. So the press should give out our message of a problem-free life over and over again to raise the understanding of the people. The press should also proclaim to the governments that the knowledge is available to raise every nation to invincibility—and it is time for them to act on it very quickly,” Maharishi said. “Tell the people and the governments—‘the ball is in their court.’”
