Main problems

Abrupt climate change

Imminent global oil crisis

Growing overpopulation

Massive extincion of species

3

This is based only on well confirmed facts from leading experts, world recognized organizations and scientific institutes.

4

Abrupt Climate Change 1• The increase of atomospheric Carbon Dioxide ( CO2 ) is a

major cause of global warming. Due to extenisve burning of hydrocarbons (oil, coal, gas) it has increased steeply during the last century.

Abrupt climate change 2

6

Abrupt climate change 3

The “thermohaline” ocean circulation is slowing down. The cause is global warming.

This current causes a more even distribution of heat between equatorial and subpolar regions

When it stops, the equatorial zone will become hotter and the subpolar regions much colder

There will be extreme and unstable weather especially in the border-zone between hot and cold air.

There will be reduced transport of humidity to neighbouring continents. Serious droughts in important food-producing regions.

This has lead Pentagon to warn sersiously for the consequences of not stopping global warming (see next slide).

7

Abrupt climate change 4Pentagon warning, February 2004:

• Over 400 million people may be forced to move from uninhabitable

regions, incuding people in Scandinavia that will become arctic. Siberian cold will affect, among others, Great Britain, Germany, Holland , Belgium.

Mega-droughts affect the world's major breadbaskets, including America's Midwest, Europe, Northern India and Southern China.

Many countries including India, Pakistan and China begin to make wars over water, agricultural land and refugees. Nuclear proliferation is inevitable and will greatly aggravate the situation.

Millions die in wars and famines.

8

Global oil crisis

• From 2003 on the world production of oil and gas is smaller than the demand. (ExxonMobil energy report, February 2004).

9

Consequences of an oil crisis

Globally spiralling oil prices

Globally spiralling production costs

Industrial production crisis

Food production crisis

Transportation crisis

World trade crisis

Deep global depression

10

Mass extinction of species

In 50 years about one third of all species may be lost

Species are interdependent. Extinction of key species will cause extensive environmental disturbances

The enviroment may abruptly get out of balance according to recent findings.

Environmental disturbances may enhance agricultural problems significantly and consequent food scarcity.

11

Synergies enhance the crisis

Food scarcity will become the main problem in the world

It will bring about mass famines, mass migration and sharp conflicts about food

It will enhance the economic crisis nationally and globally

Food scarcity

Global warming Oil crisis

Overpopu-lation

Extinction of species

the edge of a precipe”

The world crisis “clock” is

Five to TwelveThere is still some time to prevent or at least

lessen the impact and scope of the crisis

“Delaying action...is no more an accepable alternative”

Sir David King, Chief scientist of the UK government, January 2004

14

Neccessary criteria of a solution

There is no more time to continue using common, unsuccessful approaches, nor to try untested ideas.

The solution must have immediate, global effects

It must be possible to implement rapidly

Its efficacy must be scientifically confirmed

15

The basis of the solution

The world problems require very effective, close and positive cooperation between all nations

This can only be achieved if there is stable world peace

After the creation of UN, there has been over 100 major wars and the world tension is increasing

Evidently a completely different approach is required to create stable peace and harmonious cooperation between countries

16

A new approach to world peace

Recent research indicates a powerful new possibilty to

harmonize the world

17

Remarkable effect of 9-11-2011

Random-event generators deviated highly significantly from their usual random behavior.

18

Princeton university discovery

Over one million experiments have confirmed that random generators are influenced by humans.

Since 1998, a global network of random-event generators has been active 24 hr a day.

Repeatedly the generators have been affected by events that involve many people (e.g. Earthquakes and other major catastrophes, terror acts and mass festivities like New Year).

The probability that the effect is coincidental is less than one by one million.

19

Conclusion of the Princeton findings

• A large body of experiments indiciate that there is a field of consciousness unifying mankind

• http://noosphere.princeton.edu

20

The unified theory of physics

At the basis of the physical world there is a field that unifies the whole universe including all people – “Unified Field (UF)”

A key property of this field is self-reference – a property characteristic of consciousness

Leading UF-physicist John Hagelin finds that mediation of a harmony-creating influence is fully compatible with the UF theory

21

Evidence of a harmonizing effect A life quality paramater was studied

including:– Traffic accidents– Hospitalization– Soldiers wounded or killed in war– Fires– Crime rate

There was a conspicuous conn-ection between the parameter and the size of a group practizing a program for enhancing harmony at the consciousness field level.

The world leading “Journal of Con-flict Resolution” (Yale) accepted this research for publication after three years of very careful scrutiny of the quality of the research

22

Peace-creating effect

• So-called “coherence-creating groups” practising the same program were found to greatly decrease war activity.

• The Lebanon war activity was monitored during 27 months. During this period, seven coherence-creating assemblies were held in various places, including USA, Holland, Jugoslavia, the Cyprus and Lebanon (one).

• A War intensity index, that included war causalities and a conflict level parameter, decreased, at an average, by 70% during the assemblies.

• The probability that this effect is coincidental was found to be less than 1:1019.

23

Extensive and strong evidence 50 experiments have repeatedly, without exception,

confirmed a peace/harmony-creating societal effect from coherence-creating groups

It has been statistically been confirmed that the effect always occurred after the group gathered

Alternative causes were carefuly scrutinized and taken into consideration in the analysis

Public statistics were used, that reserachers cannot manipulate

50 world leading conflict- and peace reserachers have confirmed the high scientific quality of the research

24

Comments of scientists 1“I have been following the research on peace-creating groups as it has developed over the last twenty years. There is now a strong and consistent body of evidence showing that this innovative approach provides a simple and cost-effective solution to many of the social problems we face today. In my view, this research is so strong that it demands action from those responsible for government policy.”

Huw Dixon, Ph.D. Professor of Economics,

York University, England

25

Comments of scientists 2

"In the studies that I have examined on [peace-creating groups], I can find no methodological flaws, and the findings have been consistent across a large number of replications. As unlikely as the premise may sound, I think we have to take these studies seriously."

Ted Robert Gurr, PhDEmeritus Professor of Government and Politics

University of Maryland

26

Comments of scientists 3

• “I think this research evidence on a new approach to peace, and the theory that informs it, deserve the most serious consideration by academics, policy makers and concerned citizens alike.”

•  • David Edwards, PhD

Professor of Government University of Texas (Austin , USA)

27

Required size of Coherence-creating groups

It was theoretically predicted that, the effect would appear when the group size was the square root of one percent of the population.

Scientific experiments and field observations have confirmed that the prediction was correct.

The required number to achieve a global effect is 8000.

A group with 8000 can be started in a few months as there are enough people trained.

28

The solution has immediate, global effects

It is possible to implement rapidly

Its efficacy is scientifically confirmed

The necessary criteria for a realistic solution are fulfilled

29

What does a coherence-creating group?

•The creation of societal coherence or harmony is based on a technique that creates a high level of coherence of the brainwaves as evidenced by EEG-analyses. The name of this technique is Transcendental Meditation.

•In coherence-creating groups, an additional program, which enhances the societal harmonizing effect, the TM-Sidhi program is practiced.

30

Coherence in consciousness• During the TM and TM-Sidhi

program a pronounced increase of coherence of brain waves develops (white crests in the diagram).

• This means that separate parts of the brain work more and more in harmony.

• In the beginners it is there only during practice, but in advanced cases, it remains throughout day and night.

• It is associated with effective brain function and harmonious psychology.

31

Extensively confirmed effects of TMMore than 500 scientific studies

Neurophysiological development of efficient brain functioning (harmony, intelligence, creativity)

Psychological development towards increasing self-acutalization

Fysiological development towards better health

Main benefitsMain benefits

Globally World Peace Prevention of the imminent global energy, climatic and

environmental crisis. Constructive global cooperation and economical development. Sustainable development in tune with nature

Nationally Great decrease and ultimately disappearance of expressions of

societal stress like conflicts, criminality and disease Profound societal harmony Flourishing prosperity. A high quality of life.

34

Plans for groups with global Plans for groups with global influenceinfluenceEnough people to establish several peace-

creating groups with global influence have been trained

Three groups are planned. One 8000 group in Latin America, one of the same size in the USA and one 40.000 group in India

The groups can be started up within a few months after the financing has been solved, provided temporary housing can be solved.

TM: Improved health

41

TM: Research in the Swedish Airforce • With one year of TM, deep psychological distrurbances were healed,

which would have taken 20-30 years of psychoterapy, according to the scientist who developed the test that was used in this study.

TM: Growth of brain wave coherence

• Brain coherence during activity increased steadily after starting TM in this 1-year study. This confirms that a profound neurophysiological development occurs towards increasing integration and coherence in the brain.

44

TM: Sensory evoked response

• The brain reaction to a painful skin stimulus changed through TM. In non-meditators the brain first reacts locally, and then the response spreads to seconday (association - interpretation) regions. During TM the brain reacted as a whole. The response immediately covered a large part of the brain. This is a unique pattern that indicates a development towards more holistic brain function.
