This event is part of the A New World Emerging program with Dr. John Hagelin.
Recent scientific breakthroughs have revealed the ultimate unity of life and of humanity—and that this ultimate reality of unity is open to direct experience in higher states of consciousness. In this lecture, Dr. John Hagelin discusses how harnessing this cutting-edge knowledge allows us to create a peaceful, enlightened, and unified world.
Superstring theories of quantum physics have discovered the "Unified Field"—the ultimate reality, a field of universal intelligence at the basis of mind and matter. Parallel research in the field of consciousness has shown that human awareness can directly experience this unified field using simple but powerful, scientifically proven meditation techniques.
This experience of the unified field represents a fourth major state of consciousness, distinct from waking, dreaming, and deep sleep. In this "meditative state," human intelligence becomes aligned with cosmic intelligence. Thoughts and actions become enormously, powerfully life-supporting and globally enriching.
Group meditation is especially powerful in transforming the social environment. Extensive published research confirms the presence of long-range "field effects" of consciousness—powerful enough to defuse acute social stress, to prevent terrorism and war, and to provide the practical foundation for lasting world peace. Implementing this approach has become the urgent imperative of our time.
