improving national economy—alliance with nature’s governmentthe Maharishi Effect can a government hope to satisfy its entire peopleand thereby achieve this goal of harmonizing the diverse trends and tendenciesof the nation (“Maharishi Offers,” 1990). The group practice ofthe Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs neutralizes collectivestress born of the violation of natural law and creates a fully integratednational consciousness which enjoys alliance with the unified fieldof natural law. This technology of handling the whole national consciousnessbrings the full support of the nourishing, evolutionary power ofnatural law to fulfill the desires of everyone (“Maharishi Offers,” 1990).By making use of the skilled hand of nature to administer society,any government can rise to a supreme level of success and achievement(“Maharishi Offers,” 1990).
