Maharishi Mahesh Yogi this week issued a urgent global alert to the world press to watch carefully—and report in depth on—the dramatic improvements that are taking place in Holland now that a permanent group of 400 specially trained experts has begun practicing the powerful, coherence-creating Transcendental Meditation and Yogic Flying program at Maharishi European Research University in Meru, Holland.

Maharishi said the rise of coherence in the collective consciousness of Holland is creating marked improvements in the government and economy of the nation—and in the life of the people—as reported by the Dutch press. The group was established on April 12. (See www.globalgoodnews.com for a day-to-day report of the good news from Holland.)

“For 50 years we have been talking about creating invincibility for every nation as the basis of permanent peace in the world. Now, with the establishment of this group of 400 Yogic Flyers, we are raising the first country to invincibility: Holland,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi added that similar coherence-creating groups will soon be established in 23 more countries. “Then the coherent influence will not remain restricted to those 24 countries: the effect will spread throughout the whole world,” Maharishi said.

Maharishi’s alert to the world press came during his May 24 global news conference, which was broadcast live to all continents via satellite and Internet webcast from the Capital of the Global Country of World Peace in Meru, Holland. Maharishi’s next news conferences will be held on May 31 and June 1.

Extensive published scientific research has shown that just a small group of Yogic Flyers in a nation is sufficient to raise the collective consciousness of the whole country to a high level of coherence and integration, which is the basis for prevention-oriented, problem-free administration—and invincibility for the nation. The size of the group—from several hundred to several thousand experts—depends upon the population size of the nation. Research shows that 400 Yogic Flyers is the required number to influence the entire population of 16 million people of Holland.

Maharishi concluded the news conference by congratulating the world press. “The world press has long been burdened with the job of reporting the bad news of a problem-ridden world—but now the world press is in the fortunate position of being able to begin to report the good news of a world in transformation,” said Maharishi, who then emphasized: “This global transformation is not a hopeful dream of some distant future; rather it is a day-to-day phenomenon that began several weeks ago in one country—Holland—and is ongoing today. Our world of stress, struggle, and strife is being transformed into a world of peace and harmony. It’s the dawn of a new time for mankind where all the people will be able to enjoy invincibility rising in every country.”
