A Scientifically Validated Defense Strategy for EthiopiaMaj. Gen. (Ret.)
Kulwant Singh and Dr. David Leffler
Today, the military of Ethiopia has an opportunity to overcome the cycle of war by deploying a scientifically verified technology of defense that neutralizes social stress. This new technology is based on the unified field of all the laws of nature - the most fundamental and powerful level of nature's functioning. The technology accesses and enlivens this unified field through subjective technologies of consciousness, thereby creating a profound influence of coherence and harmony throughout society. This results in measurable reductions of crime, terrorism, and war. The late Maharishi Mahesh Yogi revived systematic subjective technologies for experiencing the unified field, including the Transcendental Meditation program and its advanced techniques. When used in a military context these meditation practices are known as Invincible Defence Technology (IDT). They have been successfully applied by members of many faiths to eliminate conflict. If the military of Ethiopia were to apply these non-lethal and non-destructive technologies, it could reduce collective societal stress and resulting conflict. Over 50 research studies confirm that when the required threshold of IDT experts is crossed - approximately the square root of 1% of a given population - crime goes down, quality of life indices go up, and war and terrorism abate. Scientists have named this phenomenon the Maharishi Effect, since Maharishi Mahesh Yogi first predicted it. The causal mechanism appears to be a field effect of consciousness - a spillover effect on the level of the unified field from the peace-creating group into the larger population. In 1983, a two-month Maharishi Effect intervention in Israel resulted in a 76% reduction in war deaths in neighboring Lebanon (p < 0.00000001) when group size exceeded the square root of 1% threshold. (Journal of Conflict Resolution) Seven subsequent, consecutive experiments over a two-year period during the peak of the Lebanon war found:
The likelihood that these combined results were due to chance is less than one in a quintillion. (Journal of Social Behavior and Personality)
A global-scale study published in the Journal of Offender Rehabilitation documented a 72% drop in international terrorism. The Ethiopian military is responsible for defending its citizens. It can now succeed in its mission simply by creating a Prevention Wing - a group of IDT experts. The size of the Prevention Wing would be small - approximately the square root of 1% of the population of the country. Ethiopia would only need approximately 924 soldiers in its Prevention Wing. As part of its responsibility to protect the nation, the military is obligated to thoroughly examine scientifically proven methods for preventing war and terrorism. With the IDT approach, all that is necessary is to provide the proper training for groups of military personnel - or indeed, any sizable group within the nation. The military of Ethiopia has the opportunity today through IDT to create national security, invincibility, and peace. But the time to act is now. About the Authors: David Leffler, Ph.D., a U.S. Air Force veteran, is Executive Director of the Center for Advanced Military Science (CAMS). http://www.StrongMilitary.org Dr. Leffler served as an Associate of the Proteus Management Group at the Center for Strategic Leadership, U.S. Army War College. A leading scientific journal in Pakistan, The Journal of Management & Social Science, recently published a paper by Dr. Leffler titled "A New Role for the Military: Preventing Enemies from Arising - Reviving an Ancient Approach to Peace," indicating that the military application of the Transcendental Meditation technique has merit.

War
is ultimately a human problem requiring a human solution. Experts in the
field of conflict resolution maintain that the underlying cause of war is
accumulated "social stress" - i.e., mounting political,
religious and/or ethnic tensions between rival factions in critical
hotspots throughout the world. As social stress builds, divisions grow
stronger, groups take sides, diplomats become unable to resolve
differences, and enemies arise within or outside the nation. Military
force may then be invoked to protect the country, resulting in armed
conflict and unpredictable outcomes. But even if conflict temporarily
solves the problem for the victor, the social stress remains, fueling
future cycles of conflict. In contrast, the absence of collective stress
translates into the absence of tension between competing sides, thereby
reducing the probability of hostilities.
Old
defense approach: the military fails to address social stress.
New
Invincible Defense Technology approach addresses social stress, thereby
ending war, terrorism and violence.
