The Maharishi Effect : Important departure from the usual √1 % formula.

Normally, the Super Radiance threshold for an area is the number of TM-Sidhas it takes to equal or exceed the square root of 1% (√1 %) of the local population, (About 173 TM-Sidhas for Washington DC). However, in this instance it was felt safer to create or exceed the Super Radiance effect for the whole country.

So instead of aiming to attract 173 TM-Sidhas, the study team set out to attract in excess of 1,750 TM-Sidhas, the √1 % of the entire US population.

There were important reasons for this change in the standard Super Radiance formula.

The reasoning was based on Washington DC’s prominence as the national capital of the world’s major super power. The city not only includes national institutions such as the Presidency, the Supreme Court of Justice, Congress and many other government organisations nearby, it also houses the Pentagon, The State Department and the CIA headquarters.

These powerful institutions of state spread their influence right across the world. And on the level of consciousness this influence is entirely reciprocal. Unfortunately for the US it is a case of “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

Washington’s crime rate is three times the national average

As such, the researchers saw the city, as a focal point of collective stress both from the nation and the international community. They surmised that it was this exposure to global collective stress that provoked such a high level of crime within the area - over three times the national average crime level.

In other words, the researchers reckoned that to instigate a rapid decline in local crime, the TM-Sidha group would have to be able to handle a lot more than just the locally generated level of collective stress.
