Maharishi's Global Ideal Society Campaign: Improved Quality of Life in Rhode Island through the Transcendental Meditation and Tm-sidhi Program

چکیده
This study tested the prediction that when the number of participants in the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program exceeds a certain threshold an influence of coherence is created in the collective consciousness of society, resulting in a profound and measurable improvement in the quality of life. This prediction was tested by measuring the effects of an experimental intervention in the state of Rhode Island, U.S.A. during the summer of 1978, when, as part of Maharishi's "Global Ideal Society Campaign,,, a sufficient number of practitioners of the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program moved temporarily to Rhode Island.
