The Vedic Theory:
In the Vedic science of consciousness
as brought to light by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
and validated by the latter quantum field theories
the Unified Field of Consciousness is defined as one underlying and completely unified field of pure intelligence that is the source of the entire natural world – an abstract, non-material field of which can be directly contacted (and experienced) by the human mind.
This basic understanding expands into four components: four Vedic concepts that have been extensively validated by both scientific theory and experiment. It is now established as the Uniform field theory
or UFT
1. The discovery of one unified field
Even thousands of years ago, the Vedic tradition clearly indicated that all manifested creation proceeds from a common source – from a single, unified field of pure intelligence. Just as the ocean is the basis of all its diverse waves, so it is said that one non-material, transcendental and unified field of intelligence (or consciousness) underlies all diversity in the physical universe.
In recent decades, quantum physics has revealed that such a non-material, transcendental and unified field does in fact exist at the base of the natural world. In the latest superstring theories, all of nature’s superficially distinct force and particle fields find their common source in a single superstring field – one unified field of all laws of nature. Like the ocean that gives rise to all waves, this unified field spontaneously gives rise to all forces and subatomic particles – all the fundamental building blocks that structure our universe.
From the standpoint of peace creation, it is significant that this unified field discovered by quantum theorists can be understood as a physical field of peace. It is a field of silence that is more fundamental than (transcendental to) the ongoing activity at every superficial level of nature’s functioning. Furthermore, this fundamental unified field, as the source of all laws of nature, can be seen as the most fundamental level of nature’s organizing intelligence.
2. Transcendental Consciousness:
In the descriptions of the Vedic science of consciousness, this unified field of nature’s intelligence can be directly experienced by the human mind. Just as a seemingly isolated wave can settle to merge with the ocean, so the normally active human mind can settle at its source. In thus opening itself to the most fundamental level of its own intelligence, the mind also opens itself to the most fundamental level of nature’s intelligence: the unified field of all laws of nature. In fact, in the Vedic descriptions the most basic level of human intelligence is identical to the unified field. Thus, in this state of the least stimulation of human consciousness, this state of inner peace, the mind gains access to the limitless intelligence of nature.
From the standpoint of scientific research, it is significant that this opening into the unified field would occur Transcendental consciousness
– a unique fourth state of consciousness. Vedic science describes this fourth state of consciousness as completely different from the three commonly experienced states of waking, sleeping and dreaming. This description opens Transcendental Consciousness to scientific research because researchers can distinguish between general states of consciousness using physiological measurements. Over the past thirty years, Transcendental Consciousness has been scientifically identified as a fourth major state of consciousness – characterized by deep physiological relaxation
And increased brain wave coherence.
3. Evolution of the individual.
The profound meaning of the unified field and its experience in Transcendental Consciousness first appears as individual growth. The Vedic science of consciousness indicates that as the individual consciousness repeatedly opens itself to the unified field (during Transcendental Consciousness), the human mind and body rapidly evolve to higher levels of functioning. Just as watering the root of a tree nourishes every branch and leaf, so direct experience of the most fundamental level of nature’s intelligence improves individual life in many ways.
Hundreds of published studies have documented such growth. These studies show that regular experience of Transcendental Consciousness leads to dramatic improvements in mental abilities, psychological development and physical health. The experience of Transcendental Consciousness enables rapid and measurable evolution towards enlightenment – the highest state of human functioning.
4. Peace in the world.
In a deeply troubled world, the peace-creating effects of Transcendental Consciousness seem even more important. When a large group of experts experience the Unified Field of Consciousness together – enjoying the deep peace of the unified field – this powerful influence of peace radiates to the entire society. Fifty demonstration projects and 23 published studies have identified this ripple effect of peace, as measured by reduced crime, accidents, warfare and terrorism.
One conclusion from this research is that even a relative handful of peacemaking experts, if they become fully attuned to the unified field of natural law, can create an indomitable influence of unity and cohesion in the collective consciousness of any country. This internal cohesion resists invasion from external enemies.
A second conclusion from this research is that when it comes to a peace-creating group big enough
, stress and negativity can be resolved all over the world. Rather than simply creating a shield that keeps enemies out, such a large group actually prevents the emergence of an enemy. This enables true defense of every country – by defusing the acute political, religious and ethnic tensions that fuel terrorism and war. There is more and more evidence
that group meditation has the potential to bring world peace.
These four basic elements of Vedic science
are now well-documented components of a long-lost science of consciousness. Compelling evidence indicates that modern science and ancient wisdom have joined forces in a profound theory and technology of peace.
