http://www.TM.org The individual is invincible in the state of Unity Consciousness - Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
1. (Dr. Hagelin:) This question, Maharishi, is on the meaning of an invincible man: Maharishi says that Transcendental Meditation and its group practice can raise any nation to invincibility. And Maharishi also says that Transcendental Meditation can raise any individual to a state of invincibility as well. I understand what it means for a nation to be invincible--that is a familiar phrase. But what does it mean for an individual to be invincible? Would he have no enemies, or would the enemies he has be unable to overpower him? What would life be like for a person who is invincible?
2. Maharishi: Invincibility will make a man fulfill his desire without obstacle. Invincibility is described by the phrase, Heyam duhkham anagatam. Invincibility is that quality which is not disturbable by anything. On the individual level, this is applied to the ability to fulfill desire.
3. Invincibility to the individual is at the source of thought. This invincibility is where total brain physiology functions. No aspect of the brain physiology is without participation in the sprouting of a desire. That desire is on a cosmic level. Spontaneously, it gets fulfilled.
4. Self-referral intelligence, the Unified Field, the light of God is unobstructed by anything. It is free from boundaries; it is unlimited infinity. That is Unity Consciousness where nothing is out of one's own awareness. This is where everything is possible: this is the level of invincibility.
5. The Self, being one's own possession, it's just a matter of attention to enliven it. It's very simple of achievement through Transcendental Meditation and its advanced techniques including Yogic Flying. It's just a matter of knowing it by being it.
6. You think a thought, and the thought gets materialized. You think of flying and instantly the body is up in
the air. The body being up in the air indicates, to whatever little extent, command over the force of gravity.
This force of gravity is just a different name for unifying principle.
7. With practice, invincibility becomes more and more at home. Infinity on the individual level is the unit of infinity on the collective level, on the national level, international level, global level, universal level.
8. Education has to raise the individual to the level of Unity Consciousness. In Unity Consciousness, invincibility is a practical status.
9. With groups of 8,000 people practicing Yogic Flying, invincibility will belong more and more to everyone.
10. Life without Unity Consciousness is like a dry desert. Unity is like the oasis coming up in a desert.
11. Waking rises to CC, to GC and to Unity Consciousness. Sequentially it rises and becomes more and more stabilized.
12. Maharishi calls for the Real United Nations and the Peace Government to be formed in every nation.
13. The system of medicine of the present generation gives poison for treatment. Many diseases are declared to be chronic, they cannot be treated. The system of medicine is completely fraudulent. And people are unable to understand the knowledge of the light of God because from childhood they have been eating
poisons in food and drink and in the air.
14. Now we are bringing a change which is going to be just invincible, just the gracious light of God, the bliss of life. There will be no more suffering, no more problems.
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi started teaching Transcendental Meditation in 1957.
