The paralyzing fear that is driving volatile global markets to precarious lows can be effectively neutralized and stability can be restored to the U.S. and world economies through implementation of scientifically proven technologies of consciousness, which address the crisis at its source and create stability in the collective consciousness of the world.

This is the timely message from John Hagelin, Ph.D. (see www.gfcny.net/press_release/hagelin_bio.pdf), world-renowned quantum physicist and co-developer of a highly successful unified field theory - or Theory of Everything -who serves as executive director of the Global Financial Capital of New York (see GlobalFinancialCapitalNY.org) at 70 Broad Street, one block from the New York Stock Exchange.

Dr. Hagelin said large groups of experts practising these technologies, which include the advanced Transcendental Meditation techniques of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, can be mobilized in New York City and in other global financial centres to defuse stress and fear and create coherent collective consciousness - the basis of a balanced, strong, national and world economy.

Group for South Africa
In South Africa, a group in Johannesburg is already being formed, with a target of 1000. It comprises young people mainly from historically disadvantaged communities.

Scientifically validated programme
Dr. Hagelin said scores of studies have been published in leading scientific journals (see PermanentPeace.org) on the effects of group meditation, which show improved economic stability along with other positive effects in society, including reduced crime and violence.

Meditation is mainstream in America (see TMBusiness.org). It is practised in the boardrooms in some of the nation¹s largest companies and financial institutions, Dr. Hagelin said. And the National Institutes of Health (a department of the US Government) have awarded tens of millions of dollars to document the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation programme for reducing stress and improving brain functioning and cardiovascular health. Now research shows its collective benefits as well.

Citing principles from control systems theory, Dr. Hagelin explained why financial markets are inherently unstable. A drop in prices triggers fear, which drives prices lower still, which further amplifies the fear. We must break that vicious cycle. According to research, collective meditation eliminates fear in collective consciousness and brings stability to the markets.

Dr. Hagelin said that a group of nearly 2,000 advanced experts is now in place at Maharishi University of Management in Fairfield, Iowa. He said the influence of coherence generated by this group is helping to calm the nation in the midst of the global crisis, but a larger, more powerful group of 8,000 experts (the square root of one percent of the world¹s population) is needed to neutralize worldwide fears and re-establish confidence in the global markets.

The cost to establish this group on a permanent basis, Dr. Hagelin said, would be negligible compared to what has been lost in a single hour during the current financial crisis.
