consciousness-based approach to human securityOrme-Johnson, Alexander, Davies, Chandler, and Larimore indicatedthat properties of the unified field are fundamentally non-local innature. Furthermore, they add: “Several physicists have also noted thatat fundamental scales, much of the objective character of macroscopic,classical physics begins to disappear and characteristically subjectivequalities begin to emerge.” 35When Maharishi describes the phenomenon whereby the grouppractice of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi programsenlivens awareness at that field level of consciousness, he expressesthe mechanics as “infinite correlation.” He indicates that at that levelof consciousness, all the diverse values of life are found in coordination,rather than as disparate characteristics found on the surface levelof the mind. This is analogous to the difference between the classicalview of physics and the quantum mechanical. In the classical, as notedabove, each individual is considered as separate. Object-referral awarenessviews these disparate elements through the senses. In contrast,the self-referral experience of the unified field of consciousness allowsthe individual to experience the unified level of reality and to enlivenit. This “enlivenment” propagates throughout the field, as everything isinfluencing everything else on this level.The implications for such a subjective technology are far-reaching interms of human security on a global level. Hagelin, in his recent work,Manual for a Perfect Government, indicates that just as nuclear poweris far more destructive than conventional weapons, the unified field ofmatter and of consciousness is far more powerful in its positivity thanthe negative effects of nuclear weapons. He points out that whereasnuclear weapons were created to function at a much more powerfullevel than ordinary chemical and electronic methods of defense, thetechnologies of consciousness lively in the Maharishi Effect “operate ata level of Natural Law that is even deeper than the nuclear level, wherethe characteristic energies are correspondingly greater.” 36It is apparent that nuclear weapons are not a safe deterrent to war,as in the hands of the wrong people, they could be grossly misused andannihilate whole populations. In contrast, the technologies of the unifiedfield of pure consciousness are truly preventive in nature, harnessingnature’s organizing power, which is life-supporting and nourishingto all aspects of individual and societal life.65
