It is obvious that a peaceful conflict-free state of a nation requires harmony within the nation as well as within the family of nations. Most conflicts are based on the lack of harmony, either on the international or national level. Lack of harmony in the family of nations results in wars and conflicts between nations; lack of harmony within the nation results in internal conflicts, such as civil war or conflicts between different opposing groups.

Therefore, a most important aspect of invincibility is to create harmony in society, or, in terms of modern science, to create coherence in collective functioning. In fact, the generation of coherence and harmony at the collective level of the family of nations is the ultimate principle of invincibility because it prevents the birth of an enemy. Securing perfect harmony within the family of nations results in absence of any enmity, and therefore the elimination of the root cause of hostile military attacks towards any nation.

The analysis of different examples of modern science shows that nature provides precise mechanisms to improve and optimize the inner coherence and orderly functioning within a system—in simple terms this means increase of harmony within the system. An example of the laser is discussed below

Phase Transition towards Coherence Due to Field Effect Below Threshold—Disorder Increase of the Intensity of the Enlivenment of the Electromagnetic Field Phase Transition from Disorder to Coherence Coherent Laser The laser demonstrates how a FIELD EFFECT gives rise to a phase transition from disorderliness to high coherence. In the laser the individual atoms enliven the electromagnetic field (the field of light) and the electromagnetic field reacts on the individual atoms. As long as the enlivenment is only weak, below a critical threshold, the 'laser' has not yet become a real, coherent laser, and the individual atoms still function in a random, disorderly manner. Once the enlivenment of the electromagnetic field exceeds a critical threshold, however, a pronounced phase transition takes place and all atoms join in one coherent collective functioning. (Details of this phase transition have been worked out by physicists including H. Haken, R. Graham, V. DeGiorgio, M.O. Scully.) Then the electromagnetic field, or field of light, is coherent all over the laser and stimulates the individual atoms to participate in the coherent dynamics—the FIELD EFFECT.

This example of the laser and other examples reveal again that it is the access to the fundamental holistic or quantum-mechanical level of nature's functioning and the enlivenment of the holistic qualities at this level that creates coherence and harmony within a system.

The Principle of the
FIELD EFFECT to Uphold
Coherent Collective Functioning

The laser, as well as other important examples from physics, show that coherent or harmonious collective functioning can be established through a principle called the Field Effect. The principle of the Field Effect establishes that it is not necessary to act individually on each individual constituent of a system, but that the system can be handled in one stroke at the collective level. Therefore, the principle of the Field Effect facilitates the generation of coherence enormously. Furthermore, a Field Effect is characterized by the fact that it is not necessary to manipulate the constituents on the superficial, material level, but rather to utilize the abstract and more powerful level of a Field.

In the case of the laser, this Field Effect is mediated by the electromagnetic field that resonates within the laser. Maharishi's supreme system of defence also utilizes the principle of the Field Effect in order to create coherent collective functioning in society—however, it utilizes the Field Effect at the most fundamental level of Natural Law and therefore is extremely powerful in establishing coherent collective functioning in society.
