Question:

We just got word that Dr. Christiane Northrup, one of the most famous women doctors in the US, has been promoting Maharishi’s plan for world peace in her monthly newsletters this fall. As you may know, Dr. Northrup has become very prominent in women’s health in the US over the past ten years. She has published several important best-selling books, Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom, and The Wisdom of Menopause. She is also a regular keynote speaker at health-related conferences throughout the US, and appears regularly on TV and radio. She mentioned the Maharishi Effect research and promoted the making of donations to support Maharishi’s plan for 40,000 "peacemakers" in India in the last two monthly issues of her widely popular newsletter, "Health Wisdom for Women." In her December issue she says, "Last month I told you about the "Maharishi Effect"–the scientifically documented decreased incidence of violent events when 1 percent of the population of a given area is practicing Transcendental Meditation (TM). Shortly after I wrote that, one of my friends who meditates told me about the newly launched Maharishi Global Development Fund. The not-for-profit organization is training and supporting a group of 40,000 peacemakers in India, where it is relatively inexpensive to support them. Maharishi, who introduced TM to the world 40 years ago, notes that the only way to permanently rid the world of terrorism and create lasting peace is from the level of the Unified Field of Pure Consciousness–a single, universal field of intelligence from which emanates all forms and phenomena in the Universe. The principle behind using meditation or any other modality to positively affect the world is that you must change consciousness first (which is part of the Unified Field). From this change in consciousness, the outer, physical world changes. The goal is to have a $1 billion endowment fund to support the group permanently… [She then gives details of how people can make a donation.] ….Let me be clear about one thing: I completely support our country’s current approach to combating terrorism. Terrorism is a hate crime and, like domestic violence and racial crimes, it must not be tolerated. I also know that a little help from our collective inner wisdom and The Unified Field (the level from which reality is created in the first place) can work miracles and assist in ways that are beyond our wildest dreams." Many inquiries and donations were subsequently received for the Maharishi Global Development Fund. We have contacted her about the proposal H.E. Dr. John Hagelin has been presenting in Washington, DC, this past month and directed her to our new Web site  < http://www.permanentpeace.org > .. We suggested that she sign up for the Institute’s new "E-Newsletter" at  < http://www.istpp.org > so that she can stay up to date with the progress being made. It is really wonderful to see more and more leaders like Dr. Northrup beginning to come forward to support Maharishi’s plan for creating permanent world peace.
