In his January 12th address, Maharishi said we are designing a new destiny for mankind by raising education to its fulfillment, where it is capable of enlivening the total potential of brain functioning.

Scientists estimate that people use only 5 to 10 percent of their brain potential. This is because in existing education, the segmented study of knowledge awakens only specific segments of the brain. Rather than unfolding total creative potential, education has actually prevented the total use of the brain.

With the discovery by Professor Tony Nader, M.D. Ph.D., that the human physiology is the Veda—the total potential of Natural Law—it is now a scientific reality that the capacity of brain potential is cosmic.

Consciousness-Based education offered by Maharishi has been found to unfold the creative genius of the student by awakening total brain development. Studies by Dr. N.N. Lyubimov, at the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, have shown that during the Transcendental Meditation technique hidden reserves of the brain are enlivened. This Vedic approach to education has been verified by research to improve students' IQ, learning ability, memory, creativity and grade point average.

Fortunately today, using modern satellite technology, this new approach to education is available everywhere. Maharishi Open University courses for total brain development are now being broadcast via eight satellites to 120 countries, making enlightened education accessible to everyone in the comfort of their own home. I encourage you to join the 13,000 people who are taking the Certificate for Total Knowledge Course being broadcast twice a week worldwide.

In the future, all educational facilities will rise to fulfillment and offer courses capable of enlivening the total brain development. However, no one needs to wait.

This complete system of education is available today, everywhere, through Maharishi Open University.

Jai Guru Dev.

Maharishi has inaugurated 1999 as the Third Year of Maharishi’s Global Administration through Natural Law—the Year of Invincibility to Every Nation through Maharishi Open University.

Invincibility is an important theme for all nations. The recent conflicts in several countries have alerted us that any nation can be suddenly in the midst of a military conflict. What can a nation do in order to protect itself against such a threat?

The utilization of destructive, science-based military technologies has become highly questionable, because even the most powerful nations have now become fully aware that their destructive military arsenal cannot protect their country from serious hostile attacks.

Therefore it is now time to investigate and to apply powerful scientific principles of non-destructive conflict resolution, principles of invincibility and principles to create a state of harmony that expresses itself in peace in the family of nations.

Indeed, modern science is able to provide such unique and powerful principles for the area of defense. A famous example is the Meissner Effect, which shows that a superconductor with a coherent, or harmonious, internal dynamics cannot be penetrated by an external magnetic field, whereas an incoherent ordinary conductor is easily penetrated by the same field.

This example of invincibility beautifully demonstrates the general principle of how inner coherent collective functioning of a system results in the ability to defend against external disturbing influences.

Maharishi offers to all nations a most effective, scientifically proven technology of consciousness for securing invincibility to every nation and lasting world peace that is based precisely on this fundamental scientific principle. The formula is a group of Yogic Flyers that operates at the level of the Unified Field, and thereby enlivens coherence in the collective consciousness of the nations—the Maharishi Effect.

I sincerely wish that you will become a part of Maharishi’s initiative to establish groups of Yogic Flyers around the world to create invincibility for every nation and lasting world peace.

Jai Guru Dev.
