Hagelin Gets Raves, Standing Ovations at Prestigious “Prophets Conferences” National Lecture Series

Dr. John Hagelin

In recent months, Dr. John Hagelin has addressed thousands of participants in five sessions of the prestigious national Prophets Conference, electrifying audiences with his talk “Creating Peace: The Discovery of the Unified Field and its Practical Application to Prevent Crime, Terrorism, and International Conflict.” At conferences in Santa Monica, California; Boulder, Colorado; Miami, Florida; Portland, Oregon; Vancouver, Canada; and Scottsdale, Arizona, conference participants have responded with great enthusiasm to his message about Consciousness-Based education and its proven technologies for creating world peace—and they have also been learning these technologies and visiting Maharishi International University.

In the first conference in Santa Monica, the standing-room-only, overflow crowd of more than 1,000 conference participants cheered and leapt to their feet for three standing ovations during Dr. Hagelin’s presentation. After the talk, Dr. Hagelin was mobbed by the audience, and his book Manual for a Perfect Government sold out in minutes. Conference organizers invited him to speak at the next five conference sessions, and conference participants praised his talk not only for its profound exploration of the nature of reality but also because it offered hope for the future by providing practical, field-tested solutions to society’s problems.

Dr. Hagelin’s presentations have also created intense interest among the nation’s top philanthropists, who are now exploring ways to help establish large Universities of World Peace in Washington, D.C., and Maharishi Vedic City, Iowa. Students are also responding with overwhelming enthusiasm, applauding the University of World Peace and quickly cleaning out Maharishi International University promotional materials after the talks.

This year’s Prophets Conference sessions focus on the eye-opening new film What the Bleep Do We Know!?, a remarkable exploration of the nature of reality revealed by the latest advances in scientific knowledge. The February conference brought together the movie’s scientific commentators, visionaries, actors, and filmmakers to further explore the scientific ideas and research described in the film.

Dr. Hagelin is featured in the film, which is gaining an enthusiastic following across the nation and around the world. The DVD is now available, and an extended DVD, including a powerful new interview with Dr. Hagelin, will be available in December.

“The film What the Bleep Do We Know!? showcases the latest, most profound discoveries of quantum physics—giving insight into the ultimate reality, and how we create our own day-to-day reality. These powerful ideas are changing the lives of viewers across the nation,” Dr. Hagelin said in his talk. “But intellectual discussion is not enough. We must now harness this nationwide awakening to create a peaceful, harmonious, more enlightened world. Only direct, repeatable experience of ultimate reality can create the deep, lasting transformations in the individual and society so urgently needed today.”

Dr. Hagelin also described the long-range “field effects” of consciousness generated through collective meditation and confirmed by more than 50 studies to defuse acute societal stress, violence and conflict, and to provide a practical foundation for permanent world peace. He presented the findings of his National Demonstration Project (described in What the Bleep!?) in which 4,000 meditators reduced violent crime in Washington, D.C., and explained the profound mechanisms that account for meditation’s large-scale effects on society. He drew upon recent discoveries in consciousness and in physics, including Superstring theory, quantum teleportation, and the newly discovered “dark energy” that fuels the expansion of the universe. Dr. Hagelin also outlined plans to create a permanent group of 8,000 meditators at a new University of World Peace—a flagship university dedicated to the prevention of war and promotion of peace.

“We are on the threshold of a global transformation to a post-dual, unified field-based civilization—a new world order of affluence and peace based on the knowledge, and direct experience, of the core unity of life in higher states of consciousness,” he said.
