   Creating a Peaceful World for Our Children

            According to medical science, stress has reached epidemic proportions. It is fueling a wide range of health problems, such as stroke, hypertension, and heart disease: doctors now estimate that 90 percent of disease is caused or complicated by stress.

            But the problem extends beyond the individual. Stressed individuals produce a stressed society. And recent research has revealed that societal stress—including acute political, ethnic, and religious tensions—directly fuel social violence, such as crime, terrorism, and war.

            Fifty scientific studies, published in leading scientific journals, have found that group practice of the Transcendental Meditation program is an effective approach for reducing stress and promoting health—not only in the individual but also in society as a whole. The ramifications of such a discovery are enormous.

            John Hagelin, Ph.D., is a world-renowned quantum physicist and public policy expert, lifelong educator, and director of the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. Dr. Hagelin is also the world’s leading scientific authority on the societal application of the Transcendental Meditation program. Dr. Hagelin, along with a distinguished faculty of scientists and policy experts, is establishing a new University of World Peace in Washington, D.C. The University will be the first university in the world dedicated solely to the prevention of war and the promotion of global peace.

Why are you establishing a University of World Peace?

            Dr. Hagelin: There is an urgent need in the world for a high-level academic institution dedicated to cutting-edge peace research and effective solutions to crime, terrorism, and international conflict.  

            The University of World Peace will meet these needs by performing research on innovative, peace-promoting technologies and programs and by employing those methods that have demonstrated their ability to prevent crime and violent conflict.

 
            Second, on a societal scale, 50 scientific studies have shown that the Transcendental Meditation program defuses acute societal stress, as measured by reduced crime, terrorism, and conflict. For this purpose, groups of trained meditation experts have been engaged to radiate a measurable influence of calm and coherence throughout society—in accord with recent theoretical understandings of long-range field effects of consciousness.

            Research shows that a school with a few hundred meditating students is enough to significantly defuse tensions in a city, and a school with a few thousand meditating students can measurably reduce social tensions for the nation.

            Progress in theoretical physics during the past quarter century has led to a progressively more unified understanding of the laws of nature, culminating in the recent discovery of completely unified field theories, based on the superstring.

            These theories locate a single, universal field of intelligence at the basis of all forms and phenomena in the universe. Extensive published research demonstrates that human consciousness can directly experience this unified field of intelligence in the simplest, most settled state of human awareness through the Transcendental Meditation program and its advanced techniques.

            When practiced collectively in groups, this same program has been shown to effectively reduce societal stress and tensions. From the perspective of physics, such groups of trained, peace-creating experts collectively accessing and stimulating the unified field generate powerful waves of unity and coherence that permeate the collective consciousness of the whole population. The immediate, practical result is markedly reduced crime and social violence and improved positive trends throughout society.

            Fortunately, these benefits of the Transcendental Meditation program come naturally and automatically and do not require belief or intellectual understanding of the mechanics. It’s as simple as switching on a light switch and enjoying the light. Group meditation defuses acute societal stress and creates calm and coherence throughout the whole population.

How is Antibiotic Use Linked to Cancer?

New research indicates that heavy use of antibiotics during childhood increases the likelihood of developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), a cancer that affects the body's lymphatic system.

A "Striking" Association

Researchers looked at data from the Scandinavian Lymphoma Etiology study, which compared over 3,000 patients with NHL with a similar number of healthy patients. There was a "striking" association between antibiotic use and NHL for all subtypes of the disease, especially for those who had been given antibiotics more than 10 times as children.

A Cause, Or an Effect?

This could mean that the increasing use of antibiotics in the 20th century might also explain the rise in NHL cases. However, it is unknown whether antibiotic use caused the NHL, or if antibiotics are simply more likely to be taken by those prone to developing NHL.

Also True for NSAIDs

There was also an increased risk of NHL for heavy users of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). This includes ibuprofen drugs such as Motrin and Advil.

Author searching for proof of soul, afterlife

ATLANTA — What happens to us after we die is the all-time great question of humanity. It’s been answered, over and over, in many ways: by great religions, fraudulent mediums, science and pseudoscience, and, of course, Hollywood (cue Demi Moore at the pottery wheel in "Ghost").

To some believers, the matter is settled. But for author Mary Roach, raised a Catholic and now an agnostic, it’s anything but. So she went out to see what evidence there was about life after death or the soul or continued consciousness — there isn’t even one concept that embraces it all. And, not incidentally, to put all that into her latest book," Spook: Science Tackles the Afterlife" (Norton, $24.95). "Simply put, this is a book for people who would like very much to believe in a soul and in an afterlife for it to hang around in, but who have trouble accepting these things on faith," she writes. She’s looking for proof, she says, scientific proof. Or at least evidence.

The search takes her to India, where a researcher investigates claims of reincarnation and tries to prove or disprove them; to universities, where parapsychology experiments are conducted in modern labs despite academic stigma; and back into history, for a delightful romp through seances, spiritualism, Ouija boards and Harry Houdini.

The Big Reaper of scientifically testing for a soul was Duncan Macdougall, the Scottish physician who weighed dying patients on a finely tuned scale. It was Macdougall’s experiments in 1901 that gave rise to the notion that a soul departing a body weighs 21 grams (cue Hollywood movie of that title). Roach shows that what he did wasn’t very rigorous by today’s standards, and his experiments have never been replicated, because of ethical and practical issues.

One area she doesn’t address is the traditional Christian view of heaven. "It isn’t something you can prove or disprove."

These days, the research has gone well beyond mediums at seances making tables go thump in the dark. She cites the First Law of Thermodynamics — "energy is neither created nor destroyed" — as a sort-of, kind-of proof that what we call our consciousness does not disappear at death. The question isn’t "is it still there," a physicist tells her. It’s "where does it go?"

After all the exploration, Roach emerges as cautiously encouraged by some studies into near-death experiences at the University of Virginia, where patients are clinically, but temporarily, dead, and report themselves floating above their bodies. Such anecdotes, which comprise the most common near-death experience, have been around for years, and the UVA scientists are trying to test them.

Some of those studies led the highly skeptical Roach to believe more than she did when she started. "I moved away from my assumption that it’s lights out, the million-year nap," she says. "Some of the studies of the near-death experiences left me leaning toward the acceptance of a something after life."

She also suggests that quantum mechanics may have an answer to the biggest of all questions. But she worries that the branch of physics is so hard to follow, so counterintuitive, "Maybe they have found the answer, and none of us can understand it."
