When large groups practise the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, including Yogic Flying, together in one place, the holistic, evolutionary qualities of the Unified Field become enlivened in the whole society. This results in increased coherence, or harmony, in collective consciousness, which expresses itself in increased positive trends in national and international life, including decreased crime rate, decreased traffic fatalities, and improved economic trends. In the scientific literature this effect of coherence at the collective level of society is called the Maharishi Effect.

Quantum physicists have given the theoretical explanation of the Maharishi Effect—that it is a Field Effect of consciousness at the level of the Unified Field of Natural Law. (Refer to the principles described on the webpage “Scientific Formulas to Create Coherence and Harmony”.)

A repeated, well documented finding on the Maharishi Effect with reference to defence is that this Field Effect of consciousness can be utilized to reduce violence, hostile actions, intensity of war, and war fatalities in regions of military conflict. In this way the Maharishi Effect is a powerful tool for conflict resolution—turning enemies into friends—and securing lasting peace.

The principle through which the Maharishi Effect resolves and prevents military conflicts is parallel to the principle of the Meissner Effect discussed earlier. In the Meissner Effect, the inner coherence (i.e., harmony) within the superconductor is the main cause for maintaining an impenetrable defence against the external magnetic field. In the same way, in the case of the Maharishi Effect, a group of experts in the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field—a group of Yogic Flyers—generates coherence, or harmony, in the collective consciousness of the nation and thereby makes the nation invincible against negative, hostile influences (refer to figure below). In this way, coherence within the nation through the Maharishi Effect is the key to establish invincibility for every nation.
