I have asked my friend, Dr. John Hagelin, to join us tonight to help sort out and better understand all of the turmoil going on in the world.

John is a world-renowned, Harvard trained, quantum physicist. You probably recognize him from the film, "What the Bleep... Do We Know?" He's a life-long educator, author, and leading researcher on higher states of consciousness. He was also the 2000 Presidential candidate of the Natural Law Party, a new political party dedicated to sustainable, life-affirming policies and programs that are in harmony with natural law.

Dr. Hagelin's cutting-edge research, based on the scientific discovery of a single, universal "unified field" at the basis of all forms and phenomena in the universe--including our own subjectivity, or consciousness--is forcing a thorough rethinking of the nature of consciousness, its true potential, and its fundamental role in the cosmos. This research reveals that "enlightenment," the full development of human consciousness, is our birthright. The very structure of the human brain reveals that every individual is Cosmic--that living and experiencing the Ultimate Reality in higher states of consciousness is the spontaneous byproduct of the fully developed, balanced functioning of the brain.

This profound knowledge serves as the basis of Consciousness-Based Education at Maharishi University of Management, where daily direct experience and study of consciousness, and growth of Enlightenment, are the basis for all academic study (www.mum.edu). Dr. Hagelin currently directs the University's Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy, a progressive public policy think tank.

Dr. Hagelin is promoting a new technology of peace based on the most profound scientific discoveries. It calls for the training of thousands of experts in specific, scientifically proven "technologies of consciousness" to neutralize the acute ethnic and religious tensions that fuel violence and conflict. Over 50 published scientific studies confirm the effectiveness of this approach in eliminating war, terrorism and social conflict, even in war-ravaged regions such as the Middle East (www.permanentpeace.org). This program is the only peace initiative that has produced proven results in a wide variety of settings.
