Large groups practicing the advanced Transcendental Meditation program were associated with significant reductions in murder rates in US urban areas during the period 2007\u20132010.<\/p>
Following up on a 2016 study on group meditation that found a 21.2% reduction in the national homicide rate during the period 2007\u20132010, a new study focusing on 206 large US urban areas found an even greater decrease of 28.4% in the murder rate. In both studies, the reductions during the period 2007\u20132010 were in comparison to the baseline period 2002\u20132006.<\/p>
In this study, published in the Journal of Health and Environmental Research<\/em> by Institute research scientists Dr. Kenneth Cavanaugh and Dr. Michael Dillbeck, the authors suggest that these results are consistent with the hypothesis that a sufficiently large group practicing the Transcendental Meditation\u00ae technique and its advanced program, the TM-Sidhi\u00ae program would lead to reduced societal stress, as reflected in reduced rates of murder and violence. This group practice is said to create a positive effect in the environment due to a hypothesized \u201cfield effect of consciousness.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n What intrigues me is the suggestion that human consciousness\nhas a field effect. I have written about this in a couple of my novels. Here is\nwhat the author of the study on meditation says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Dr. Cavanaugh, <\/p>\n\n\n\n The basis for the hypothesized effect on society is that consciousness in its pure form, pure consciousness, has a field-like character and is a universal field at the basis of everyone\u2019s thought and behavior. When the participants in a group equal to or exceeding the square root of one percent of the entire population are experiencing pure consciousness during group practice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, the field of pure consciousness is enlivened in the entire population. This will positively influence all others in society, leading to development in the same holistic direction as experienced by individuals practicing the Transcendental Meditation technique.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s dismiss the idea that only TM can do this. All that is\nnecessary is to place the mind\/heart in a coherent state. Experienced\nmeditators know how to do this. Even inexperienced ones can have a positive\neffect, because in a vibrational universe, the intent <\/em>behind an action sets up a vibrational carrier wave that\npropels that action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An intriguing aspect of this study is that only a small fraction\nof the population needs to participate in order to have wide-ranging effects.\nAccording to the article,<\/p>\n\n\n\n During 2007\u20132010, the size of the TM-Sidhi group located at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa, was above or near 1,725 participants, the size predicted to have a positive influence on the US quality of life. This predicted threshold represents the square root of 1% of the US population at that time<\/em>.\u201d [italics mine]<\/p>All quotes from http:\/\/istpp.org\/news\/2017_03-new-research-group-meditation-reduced-murder-rates.html<\/a> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s calculate how many people it would take to have a\npositive effect on the entire planet, if this assertion is correct. The human\npopulation, in March 2020, is approximately 7.8 billion. One percent of that is\n78 million. The square root of 78 million is approximately 8,832!<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s an astonishingly small number, the size of a small\nrural town in the US. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If the assumptions in this study are anywhere near accurate,\nthe power of higher consciousness can be harnessed for the good of the entire\nplanet by just a very few. All it takes is a little organization. What would\nhappen if a meditation could be organized every day for world peace or for some\nother positive manifestation? It wouldn\u2019t be hard to mobilize 8,832 people out\nof a population of almost 8 billion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n The power of human consciousness, using the field effect\nhypothesis, can be used right now to effect positive change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A worldwide pandemic that affects the entire human\npopulation can motivate the human population, collectively, to either fear or to\na higher state of awareness. I\u2019m betting on the latter. If 8 billion people\nwere to gain a higher state of awareness due to the Covid virus, a quantum leap\nin consciousness could result that would radically alter human societies for\nthe better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This, I think, is an unforeseen consequence of Covid! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s say that certain dark forces are trying to place\nhumanity in fear, in order to get us to create a dark future. Well, it\u2019s going\nto backfire on them! Fear is a lower emotion, love is a much higher and more\npowerful emotion. Love >>> fear. Fear loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As FDR said during one of his \u201cfireside chats\u201d during World\nWar 2, \u201cThe only thing we have to fear is fear itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low consciousness will attempt to put you in fear. It\u2019s as\nsimple as that. Their weapon is simply to get us to mobilize the field effect\nof human consciousness to advance a dark agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It won\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact we can turn that around and mobilize human\nconsciousness for a positive effect. It only takes a very small number of\npeople.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Materialists will scoff and ridicule this, of course, but\nwho cares what they say? Low consciousness can\u2019t see high consciousness. I made\na crude diagram several years ago in an article on my website, which I am\nreprinting here to illustrate this concept:<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1) When vibrations are too far apart, they cannot see each other. In other words, when the dog whistle is blown, the frequency is above the vibrational range of the human ear. Therefore, it does not exist for a human being. When a happy person tries to cheer up the angry one, he gets a punch in the nose. Only when vibrations are similar can there be coherent communication, reality and understanding, as we saw in Lesson One.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n 2) A higher vibration can “read” a lower one. This means that a waveform of higher frequency can decipher a waveform of lower frequency, but not vice\u2013versa. We can see this by the following crude analogy with the two waveforms above.<\/p> The wavecrests between wLow are spaced so that it takes 5 spaces between wavecrests of wHigh to make 1 space of wLow. Imagine an “eye” at every wavecrest on wLow and wHigh. As can be seen, wLow can only “see” wavelengths of its own frequency or lower. wLow can only be aware of its much longer wavelength, because it’s perception is too gross to realize that shorter wavelengths can exist. Even though there are 5 wavecrests of wHigh between every one for wLow, wLow cannot see them, even though they surely exist! <\/p> On the other hand, wHigh is easily aware of wLow. wHigh counts out 5 of its wavecrests to easily encompass the broader wavecrests of wLow.<\/p> \u201cIn this analogy, a lower awareness cannot be conscious of a higher awareness.\u201d<\/p>https:\/\/kjmaclean.com\/Articles\/VibrationalUniverseLessons.html<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n But a higher awareness understands perfectly well where a\nlower consciousness is at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve all experienced this: it\u2019s frustrating to realize that\nno matter what you say, you aint getting across to the other person. Bullies\nand other anti-social persons interpret your attempts at reconciliation to be\nweakness because of their lack of understanding. It\u2019s just low consciousness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This reminds me of a saying: \u201cNever attribute to malice that\nwhich can adequately be explained by stupidity.\u201d In other words, low\nconsciousness may not be evil, but it certainly is dumb! Young souls with no\nexperience on earth fall into this category \u2013 they haven\u2019t been around long\nenough to accumulate any wisdom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What about those who deliberately choose the dark side?<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s another saying that applies here: \u201cA rising tide lifts\nall boats.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n When higher awareness ACTS, it can use the power of\nconsciousness and the field effect to raise the vibration of the entire planet.\nThis rising vibe will transform lower vibrations into higher ones. And it doesn\u2019t\ntake a lot of people to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you encounter materialists it\u2019s like talking to a brick wall. They simply have no understanding of their own spirituality; your words and ideas can\u2019t penetrate their consciousness. But that\u2019s not our problem, it\u2019s their problem. The good news? The field effect of human consciousness will provide even those who embrace the darkness with a spiritual \u201cboost.\u201d Their boats will rise along with everyone else’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have all probably been infected with a corona virus at\nsome point in our lives. Covid-19 is a new variant with a death rate similar to\nflu. And we have treatments now: Hydroxychloroquine, Azithromycin, Remdesivir, and favipiravir or Avigan (in\nJapan), have been used on an ad-hoc basis with excellent results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/coronavirus-covid-19-treatments.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n There has recently been a great debate about these drugs. They are obviously treatments, not cures. Studies have shown that this regimen doesn\u2019t work for persons on ventilators, or those who are already very ill. But many doctors around the world, including Didier Raoult, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 2014, have had good results using this regimen as a prophylactic to treat people who test positive but who are not yet seriously ill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember that the pandemic of 1918 killed 50 to 100 million people worldwide. That\u2019s several times the number killed in World War 1, which killed 20 million and is recognized as one of the greatest human tragedies of all time. The fear-mongering mass media is obsessed with this pandemic and normally rational people are terrified of a disease that, for most people, would result in getting sick for a week. Even for those over 80, the death rate is 15%, and many of these people have pre-existing conditions such as pneumonia, diabetes, or obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So let\u2019s relax. OF COURSE when you go out in public maintain\nsocial distancing and wear a mask or a bandana over your mouth and nose to\nprotect others. In Japan this has always\nbeen a part of their society: you wear a mask in public if you are sick. We can\ndo it too for a while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As we go down the case curve during the next month, the\ninvestigations will begin. The darkness is going to be exposed. When that\nhappens, the entire planet is going to learn a lot about low consciousness. In\nthe meantime, keep calm, stay centered, and realize that MUCH better times are\non the horizon. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some people say that the media is overhyping a severe case of the flu, others are saying that Covid-19 is a bioweapon, that it is being used as a power grab to squash civil liberties, that it is being used … Continue reading High consciousness vs. low consciousness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
