Maharishi Effect

Achieving World Peace Through a New Science and Technology

• All Possibilities: All possible worldsheet topologies and all possible field histories contribute to the superstring partition function Z, which embodies the complete dynamics of the quantized theory.
• Omniscience: The partition function simultaneously computes all possible world histories P and their associated actions *L(P) in determining the quantum-mechanical evolution of the system.
• Freedom: In the free-fermionic formulation, the unified field is comprised of free, noninteracting bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom defined on the superstring.
• Unmanifest: The fundamental bosonic and fermionic string degrees of freedom remain unmanifest—they do not appear as particles in the physical spectrum.
• Simplicity: The entire, diversified structure of natural law emerges sequentially from the simple, unified dynamics of a relativistic quantum string.
• Omnipotence: The laws governing the dynamics of the unified field are absolute and invincible. The low-energy effective field theories governing physics at larger scales are merely partial reflections of, and approximations to, the total potential of natural law available at the level of the superstring.
• Total Potential of Natural Law: All the massive and massless string modes are fully enlivened as dynamical degrees of freedom at the Planck scale.
• Discriminating: The boundary conditions of the 4-D string construction discriminate among thousands of possible string vacua.
• Fully Awake Within Itself: The zero-point motion (quantum fluctuations) of the unified field reaches its ultimate level of dynamism at the Planck scale.
• Bountiful: The energy eigenspectrum of the quantized string field contains an infinite tower of massive string modes in addition to all the massless modes responsible for the observable universe.
• Infinite Silence: Expressed by the noninteracting nature of the fundamental string degrees of freedom.
• Infinite Dynamism: Expressed by the dynamical interaction of all the various fields appearing in the effective low-energy theories derived from the superstring.
• Pure Knowledge: The Lagrangian represents the most compact mathematical expression of the complete structure of the laws of nature at every level.
• Infinite Organizing Power: The Hamiltonian operator, derived from the Lagrangian by a Legendre transformation, dynamically generates all activity in the universe.
• Evolutionary: The Hamiltonian operator generates the time evolution of the universe.
• Perfect Orderliness: Reflected in the superconformal invariance, local supersymmetry, and gauge symmetries of the Lagrangian.
• Self-Sufficiency: The structure and dynamics of the unified field is sufficient within itself to initiate spontaneous gauge and supersymmetry breaking radiatively, leading to the sequential unfoldment of the diversified structure of natural law illustrated in the chart.
• Purifying: Broken symmetries are successively restored at more fundamental spacetime scales, ensuring the consistency and renormalizability of the theory.
• Infinite Creativity: The fountainhead of natural law—from this unified source, all the particles and forces of nature emerge through a sequential process of spontaneous symmetry breaking.
• Integrating: The gravitino dynamically upholds local supersymmetry, which integrates the different spin components of the various supermultiplets, maintaining the unbroken wholeness of the superfields.
• Harmonizing: Supersymmetry unifies completely opposite values—bose and fermi fields—within the context of a single superfield.
• Perfect Balance: Supersymmetry—the perfect balance of bosonic and fermionic degrees of freedom.
• Bliss: Expressed by the continuous effervescence of topological fluctuations at the Planck scale (“spacetime foam”) spontaneously arising from the nonperturbative dynamics of quantum gravity.
• Self-Referral: The non-Abelian property of self-interaction of the vector fields responsible for local gauge symmetry. This property of self-interaction is also found in all the other spin components, including the graviton, gravitino, chiral fermions, and scalar fields.
• Unboundedness: The Poincaré invariance of the Lagrangian density.
• Nourishing: A non-Abelian gauge field dynamically upholds the unified structure of all its individual components.
• Immortality: The time-translational invariance of the Lagrangian density.
• Omnipresence: The translational invariance of the Lagrangian density reveals that the total structure of the unified field is present everywhere, and is not restricted by any finite boundaries.
• Infinite Correlation: The seemingly fragmented structure of the Standard Model arises from and reflects the infinite correlation and balance of its unified origin in the superstring, giving rise to relations between couplings, electric charge quantization, and freedom from gauge and gravitational anomalies.
• Invincibility: A non-Abelian gauge field dynamically upholds its own invariance under local symmetry transformations.

All these beautiful, evolutionary qualities of the unified field blossom in individual and collective life through the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, which opens human awareness to the direct experience of consciousness in its self-referral state, pure consciousness, where consciousness is found identified with the unified field of all the laws of nature.

The enlivenment of all these qualities in world consciousness was profoundly demonstrated by the improved quality of world events when 7,000 experts in the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field (approximately the square root of one percent of the world’s population) gathered at Maharishi International University from December 17, 1983 to January 6, 1984. Over 35 scientific studies^15,16 analyzing this and other, subsequent assemblies have rigorously verified the practical formula to create a unified field based ideal civilization, a civilization based on complete knowledge and practical utilization of the unified field of natural law.
