The Coherence Signal
Exploring the Maharishi Effect through the Lens of the Electric Universe Theory: Consciousness, Electromagnetic Fields, and the Information-Energy Substrate as a Basis
The Maharishi Effect and the Resonant Mind of the World
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, best known for introducing Transcendental Meditation (TM), also put forward a striking idea. That when enough people meditate together with focused intent, society around them becomes measurably more peaceful. This phenomenon, called the Maharishi Effect, suggests that consciousness isn’t isolated in individual minds, but somehow spreads and stabilizes across entire populations.
From a mainstream view, that might sound far-fetched. But from the perspective of Predictive Evolution Theory (PET) within the Electric Universe framework, it’s entirely plausible. PET proposes that the universe is built on an underlying information-energy substrate. A sea of raw potential from which all matter, energy, and structure emerge. As material structures form, they generate electromagnetic fields that organize and transmit increasingly structured information. These fields become information reservoirs. Dynamic, memory-like systems that can store patterns, behaviours, and intent.
In this model, consciousness is a function of structure. Any system that processes energy and information is conscious to some degree. This includes organisms, stones, planets, and even galaxies. All are part of a nested, resonant network of conscious processors. When meditators act in coherent unison, as in the Maharishi Effect, they upload a wave of intentional, structured information into these fields. The message resonates, spreads, and is subconsciously downloaded by others. Copied and recirculated through the system.
The Noosphere, as described by Teilhard de Chardin, and Sheldrake’s morphic fields both echo this idea. A shared mental or informational layer guiding life and thought. PET builds on those ideas. Grounding them in electromagnetic structure and information flow. The Maharishi Effect, then, isn’t mystical. It is a real-time, collective upload of coherence into a conscious, electric universe. This model will explore how that process works. And how every structure, including you, plays a part in it.
If collective meditation can restore social harmony, what happens when intent is used to do the opposite? The same field that responds to coherence may also be vulnerable to disruption. Deliberately sown by those who understand its power. This opens the door to the possibility of weaponized consciousness. What some might call “black magic”. Used to create confusion, division, and control through the very same information reservoirs that could also heal.
Uploading Coherence into the Field
At the heart of Predictive Evolution Theory is the recognition that the universe is not just built from particles and forces. But from something deeper. A foundation of information-energy. This substrate underlies all physical form. It's not structured in any particular way. It doesn’t store data in language, numbers, or DNA. It’s raw, formless potential. Pure possibility waiting for patterns to emerge. It is from this subtle foundation that all structure, all form, and all complexity arise.
Hydrogen: The First Language of Form
Before galaxies, before stars, before life, came hydrogen. In PET, hydrogen is not just the most abundant element. It is the bridge between the formless and the formed. It responds to electromagnetic fields, aligns with cosmic currents, and assembles into more complex systems. Hydrogen marks the moment when the information-energy substrate begins to structure itself into something measurable. It's the first whisper of the substrate learning how to speak in form.
Material Structure Creates Localized Fields
As hydrogen joins with other elements and material structures emerge, electromagnetic fields arise. These aren't separate from the substrate. They are coupled with the substrate and an extension of it. Expressed in a more structured, localized way. Stars generate magnetospheres, cells generate bioelectric fields, and even stones carry electromagnetic imprints of their formation. These fields carry information. Not just raw potential. But structured data... Geometry. Charge. Pattern. Memory. In PET, these are called information reservoirs. They function like memory fields, capable of storing and sharing energetic signatures that influence other structures.
A Hierarchy of Constraints
The structure of the universe forms in layers. At the base is the information-energy substrate. Limitless but unformed. Electromagnetic fields, emerging from matter, are the next layer. They carry more structure, but still hold plasticity and potential. Then come the material structures themselves. Such as DNA, molecules, organs, and ecosystems. These encode information even more precisely. Shaped by their function and chemistry. Each level imposes new constraints. Shaping and refining the raw data of the substrate into increasingly specific forms. It's not that the information changes. It’s that it is filtered and formatted through structure.
All Structures Are Conscious
In PET, consciousness is not a property of humans or animals. It is a function of structure. Any system that processes energy and information participates in consciousness. A river has a kind of consciousness. A star. A stone. A storm. Each processes its environment in a patterned, responsive way. The more complex the structure, the more nuanced the consciousness. Consciousness scales with complexity. But it begins at the most basic level of structured form. Even the Universe itself, as a structure that emerged from the substrate, is conscious. Just not in a human way.
How the Maharishi Effect Works
Now, consider what happens when hundreds or thousands of human beings synchronize their minds and emotions. When thoughts and feelings align with intentional coherence (peace, harmony, compassion), they’re not just private experiences. They're structured electromagnetic events. Each meditator uploads this pattern into the surrounding information reservoir. The fields resonate and amplify the shared signal. Just like a room full of tuning forks ringing together. Others, even those not meditating, download fragments of this coherent signal subconsciously. Each copy reinforces the pattern and extends its reach.
This is how the Maharishi Effect operates. Not through mysticism. But through information flow across a coupled network of consciousness. Resonant processors. Every thought is an upload. Every shared pattern is copied. The field becomes saturated with a message. One of coherence, calm, and order. This message influences behaviour, reduces noise, and shifts the tone of entire populations. I’ll say it over and over again. It's not magic. It's physics. Scaled through consciousness.
“Maharishi effectively lay to rest all doubts by first focusing on the experiential aspect, designed to make the knowledge a living reality. This is the technique of Transcendental Meditation (TM). It is an easy, effortless technique to remove stress and access higher states of consciousness, which contributes, through enhanced brain function, promotion of good health and ideal behavior to the holistic development of all aspects of life individual and social life.” Remembering His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for bridging Spirituality and Science seamlessly.

From Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Perspective
Coherence
In the Transcendental Meditation (TM) tradition, coherence describes a measurable increase in orderliness within the brain. This is observed through synchronized brainwave patterns during deep meditation. Especially alpha coherence. Maharishi taught that when an individual reaches this state of inner coherence, their physiological systems, emotional states, and cognitive functions harmonize. But more importantly, he claimed this coherence radiates outward.
The human nervous system, he believed, is not closed. It functions as both a receiver and broadcaster of subtle influences. So when many individuals meditate together in a state of coherence, the collective nervous systems produce a ripple effect of harmony in the surrounding environment. In this view, social stress, conflict, and disorder arise from incoherence in collective consciousness. Introduce a coherent influence into that system, like a group of trained meditators, and the system begins to reorder itself.
Unified Field of Consciousness
Maharishi borrowed the concept of a Unified Field from quantum physics. Particularly the search for a field that unites gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear forces. He proposed that consciousness is that field. The deepest, most fundamental level of reality. Just as all particles and forces arise from the unified field in physics, Maharishi claimed that all thoughts, experiences, and material structures arise from a unified field of consciousness.
This field is accessible not through instruments. But through direct experience. Specifically, through Transcendental Meditation. In deep meditation, the mind “settles” down through finer and finer levels of thought until it reaches pure awareness. Devoid of content. This is consciousness experiencing itself as a unified field. From this place, the meditator becomes a conduit. Accessing and broadcasting influence through this foundational layer of existence.
Critical Mass
Maharishi proposed that a relatively small number of people, when practicing TM or the TM-Sidhi program in unison, can influence an entire population. Originally, this number was pegged at 1% of the population. Based on early studies. Later, with the introduction of the TM-Sidhi program (which includes "Yogic Flying"), he refined the formula to the square root of 1% of the population.
This idea parallels physical systems that undergo phase transitions (like water freezing or a metal becoming magnetized) when a critical threshold is reached. In society, that threshold is reached when enough coherence is introduced to offset the prevailing disorder. The group meditations don't forcibly impose change. They simply introduce a new dominant frequency. Once critical mass is reached, the system shifts to reflect the new signal.
From the Electric Universe & PET Perspective
Coherence
In PET and Electric Universe theory, coherence is seen as phase alignment within and across information-processing systems. These systems include not just brains. But any structure capable of receiving, processing, and broadcasting information via electromagnetic fields. Cells. Crystals. Forests. Cities. Even planets. When systems are coherent, their oscillations, frequencies, and information flows align in constructive resonance.
In this view, coherence isn’t just about orderly brainwaves. It is about electromagnetic field harmonics. Coherence means fewer internal contradictions, more efficient energy transfer, and greater signal clarity. A group of coherent human beings increases the amplitude and clarity of the collective signal uploaded into the surrounding information reservoirs. By synchronizing their bioelectric fields through meditation. This isn't metaphorical. It is a literal electromagnetic coupling across nested, resonant systems.
Unified Field of Consciousness
Rather than viewing the Unified Field as purely spiritual or abstract, PET and Electric Universe models see it as the information-energy substrate. A plasma-like, nonlocal field that underlies all structure. It is not material and isn’t processing anything. It contains no specific information itself, but it allows for the emergence of structure, form, and memory through feedback and constraint.
Consciousness, in this model, is a function. An emergent property of structures capable of information and energy processing. The more complex and patterned the structure, the more nuanced the consciousness. However, because all electromagnetic structures participate in this field, all things are conscious to some degree. Meditation, then, is a method of temporarily aligning one’s internal EM fields to resonate more purely with the underlying substrate. Which is shared by all.
Critical Mass
In PET, critical mass aligns with the idea of a threshold of feedback amplification. A single system broadcasting a coherent message may not be enough to shift the local field. It is like one voice in a noisy crowd. But when enough systems (people) synchronize their signals, the amplitude of the shared message increases exponentially. Again. This isn’t magic. It’s resonance physics. Just as a radio signal becomes clearer with stronger transmission. So too does a coherent field influence become dominant once it exceeds the surrounding noise.
The square root of 1% model can be seen as a tipping point in field saturation. Once enough participants are in phase, their signals reinforce each other. This creates a standing wave that reorganizes the local information reservoir. That field, in turn, becomes a source that other structures subconsciously synchronize with. Organisms “download” the coherent pattern simply because it's present in their coupled environment.
From Maharishi’s point of view, consciousness is a unified field accessible through meditation. And coherence is the key to restoring harmony to society. From the PET-Electric Universe perspective, the Maharishi Effect is a large-scale, structured upload of information and energy into a coupled, conscious system of electromagnetic fields. Coherence strengthens signal clarity, critical mass amplifies reach, and the field itself is the medium of transmission. Both views converge on the idea that consciousness is not isolated. And when aligned, it reshapes the world around it.
“His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has introduced Invincible Defence Programme for every country. This powerful, innovative approach to peace has been extensively field tested—in the Middle East and throughout the world. The consistent result has been dramatic reductions in terrorism, war, and other social violence.” Scientific Research. (Credit: World Peace 9000)
Research & Studies: What the Data Says (and Doesn’t Say)
Over the years, researchers connected to the TM movement have published studies suggesting that group meditation can have measurable effects on society. The idea is that when enough people meditate together, especially using the more advanced TM-Sidhi techniques, something changes in the surrounding environment.
And the effects they report aren’t small. Some studies claim that crime rates drop. Others report fewer emergency room visits, fewer traffic accidents, and even reductions in war-related deaths. Using this logic, meditation works the same way as prayer. Perhaps there’s an underlying connection between the decrease in religious practice and an increase in societal discord. Something to ponder.
The Washington, D.C. Study
In the summer of 1983, Washington, D.C. became the stage for what TM researchers hoped would be a breakthrough demonstration. Thousands of practitioners in Transcendental Meditation and the advanced TM-Sidhi program gathered in the city. Not just to meditate. But to run a real-time social experiment. Their target wasn’t symbolic peace. Tt was the city’s violent crime rate.
A 23% Drop in Violent Crime
At the time, Washington, D.C. was one of the most dangerous cities in the U.S. So when TM researchers later claimed that assaults, murders, and rapes dropped by 23% during the peak of the meditation sessions, it made headlines. They didn’t rely on guesswork. They used statistical models, brought in independent criminologists, and accounted for variables. Like weather, historical crime patterns, and seasonal trends. The reduction, they argued, couldn’t be chalked up to coincidence.
Published and Peer-Reviewed, but Contested
The findings were eventually published in Social Indicators Research, a peer-reviewed journal. TM advocates saw it as a turning point. Evidence that collective meditation creates a ripple effect. Increasing coherence not just within the individual. But across the wider population. According to the Maharishi Effect model, this isn’t psychological. It is field physics.
But not everyone bought it. Critics pointed out the usual suspects. Possible confirmation bias. Limited controls. And the challenge of proving causation rather than just correlation. From a traditional scientific lens, it was all a bit too convenient. But, this is the same attitude they had toward Spellers and telepathy.
A Different Kind of Field Test
Still, from the Electric Universe and Predictive Evolution Theory perspectives, the most interesting part of the D.C. study isn’t the crime stats. It is the idea that consciousness might be an active player in a physical information-energy field. Could synchronized human thought, emotion, or intention ripple through the same substrate that links electromagnetism, plasma behavior, and planetary fields?
Was this just a meditation retreat with good PR, or did something more fundamental happen. Something that hints at the underlying mechanics of consciousness itself?
More Than Just a Footnote
The Washington study raises more questions than it answers, and that’s precisely why it matters. It suggests that our collective states (coherent or chaotic) might interact with a broader field that governs physical and social order. Whether or not the numbers hold up under intense scrutiny, the larger hypothesis is what demands attention. That human minds, linked in resonance, might shape the very structure of our shared reality.
The Lebanon Conflict
In the early 1980s, Lebanon was in chaos. The civil war had torn the country apart. With daily violence, shifting alliances, and heavy civilian casualties. Against this backdrop, TM researchers attempted something bold. Even outrageous to some. They wanted to see if group meditation could affect the intensity of a war.
Meditating from Afar
Instead of flying meditators into Beirut, the experiments took place outside the country. Groups of advanced TM-Sidhi practitioners gathered in places like the U.S., Europe, and Israel. The theory? That their collective coherence could radiate outward through the human “field”. Stabilizing the situation in Lebanon. Despite the distance.
Not Just Coincidence?
According to the research teams, the data lined up. On days when the meditation groups hit a critical mass, the death toll in Lebanon dropped. War-related fatalities declined. There were signs of lower conflict intensity. Even the tone of international news coverage shifted slightly during those periods. The researchers ran statistical analyses to show that these weren’t random fluctuations. The patterns, they argued, were consistent and meaningful.
Published, But Contested
Some of these findings appeared in respected journals. Like The Journal of Conflict Resolution. This gave the work a degree of academic weight. Still, critics pointed out the obvious: many of the researchers were directly connected to TM institutions. That, combined with the sheer complexity of wartime dynamics, made the claims hard to verify. Too many moving parts. Not enough airtight controls.
The Bigger Questions
But the Lebanon experiments weren’t just about stats. They raised far deeper questions. Can synchronized human intention actually reduce violence in a place halfway around the world? Are our emotional and mental states feeding into a shared field that affects geopolitical outcomes?
And if coherent meditation can reduce death tolls, what happens when our collective consciousness is full of fear, anger, or division? Are we unconsciously worsening global instability with our emotional chaos? Is the negativity and propaganda a deliberate attempt to disrupt the field?
A Field-Based Perspective
From an Electric Universe or Predictive Evolution Theory point of view, this is where things get really interesting. Consciousness functions within an electromagnetic field. Perhaps conflict is what happens when coherence breaks down. Not just politically. But energetically. If so, these experiments suggest we’re all plugged into something much larger than ourselves.
The Lebanon case doesn’t offer final answers. But it cracks the door open to a different kind of thinking. Where peace and violence aren’t just the result of policy or politics. But of human fields, coherence, and intent.
Criticism from the Scientific Community
But not everyone is on board with these conclusions. Critics have pointed out several major issues. Starting with a lack of rigorous control conditions. Without strong controls, it’s hard to be sure that meditation had anything to do with the outcomes.
There’s also the issue of bias. Most of the studies are conducted, funded, and reviewed by people closely tied to the TM movement. That doesn’t automatically make the findings invalid. But it does raise red flags for many scientists.
Replication Problems
A key part of science is replication. Other researchers should be able to reproduce your results under similar conditions. That hasn’t really happened here. Most of the studies showing big effects haven’t been independently replicated outside the TM network.
When others have tried to test similar ideas using stricter methods, the results have been inconsistent or inconclusive. Which, ironically, suggests intent has a great to do with it. Those repeating the tests may not have had the same intentions as those they’re trying to replicate.
Post Hoc Reasoning
Some skeptics also argue that many of the TM studies suffer from post hoc reasoning. In other words, they look back at existing data and try to line up events with periods of group meditation. That can make the results seem more impressive than they really are. Because in a big enough data set, you can usually find some patterns by accident.
Still Worth Paying Attention To?
Despite all the criticism, the TM studies do raise interesting questions. Maybe they don’t meet the strictest standards of scientific consensus. But they hint at something that feels real to the people involved. And consistent enough to keep studying. What if there is something with the standards of scientific consensus?
From the perspective of Predictive Evolution Theory (PET) or the Electric Universe, the idea isn’t that meditation magically makes crime vanish. Instead, human consciousness can be intentionally focused and coherent. This means it can more effectively upload information into shared electromagnetic fields. What PET calls information reservoirs.
If that’s true, then group meditation could subtly influence the behaviour of others through field effects. Real signals. Copied and shared. That spread through the environment in non-obvious ways.
So is the Maharishi Effect real? Maybe. I think so. The evidence is suggestive. Not definitive. But there is a pattern to these phenomena. The patterns are interesting. Even if they’re not universally accepted. Whether the explanation is psychological, social, or electromagnetic, one thing is clear… We’re only just beginning to understand what happens when minds sync up and aim their attention at the world.

Related Ideas
Noosphere (Teilhard de Chardin)
The Noosphere is the concept of a collective human consciousness forming a global “mind” that grows as we share thoughts and culture. Like the Maharishi Effect, it suggests that individual minds are connected in a larger field. Influencing one another. The Maharishi Effect focuses on meditation. Intentionally tuning and harmonizing that field. The Noosphere is a broader, ongoing emergence of shared human awareness. Both ideas imply that coherence at a global scale can shape reality. But the Noosphere is more about the natural evolution of consciousness. Maharishi emphasizes deliberate intervention.
Global Consciousness Project (GCP)
The GCP measures anomalies in random number generators during major global events. Showing statistical deviations that some interpret as evidence of a collective consciousness impacting physical systems. This is somewhat like the Maharishi Effect’s claim of group meditation influencing societal behavior. But GCP tries to track subtle physical changes directly in technology rather than social metrics. Both point toward a field-based model where collective human attention or emotion imprints measurable effects. Fitting well with PET’s idea of information reservoirs carrying data beyond individuals.
Sheldrake’s Morphic Fields
Sheldrake’s Morphic Fields propose that information about forms and behaviors is stored nonlocally in fields that organisms tap into. Influencing development and habits across time and space. This resonates with the Maharishi Effect. Suggesting a non-material mechanism transmitting information beyond direct contact. PET aligns with this by grounding morphic-like fields in electromagnetic structures. Fields that hold and transfer information-energy patterns. The Maharishi Effect can be seen as a moment when human consciousness intentionally interacts with these fields to create coherence. Reinforcing or shifting morphic patterns at a social scale.
Each of these ideas complements the Maharishi Effect by offering frameworks for how collective consciousness might exist and operate as a field phenomenon. Something PET and the Electric Universe view explain further through the physics of information and electromagnetic resonance.

The Shadow Side of Coherence
If the Maharishi Effect is real. If collective meditation and coherent intent can measurably reduce crime, ease conflict, or stabilize populations. Then we also have to ask a harder question. What happens when that same power is used in reverse?
Intentional Disorder
We usually assume that chaos in the world (wars, unrest, confusion) is just part of nature or human fallibility. But what if it’s not entirely random? What if disorder is sometimes deliberate? If a field of consciousness or information surrounds and connects us… Then it’s not a leap to think that it can be influenced negatively as well as positively.
What if someone (or some group) knows how?
Weaponizing the Field
If coherent human intent can restore harmony. Then malevolent or chaotic intent could do the opposite. In this light, "black magic" becomes less fantasy and more like a form of psychological or energetic warfare. Or sabotage. A conscious distortion of the informational field.
This isn’t just about superstition. It is about manipulation. In a model like PET or the Electric Universe. Where reality is shaped by information patterns and feedback loops. Introducing disruptive signals would result in social fragmentation, confusion, and personal distress. Again! That’s not “magic” or “black magic”. That is field interference.
Who Benefits from Chaos?
Consider the world we live in. Widespread anxiety. Information overload. Constant crisis narratives. And the engineered division. It’s not far-fetched to ask whether some of this is being seeded intentionally. A destabilized population is easier to manage. Easier to sell to. Easier to frighten into compliance.
From the Electric Universe or PET lens, this looks like the informational equivalent of electromagnetic noise. Disrupting the coherence of the human field. Distorting the connection between people and place. Body and mind. Self and signal.
Ancient Knowledge, Modern Applications
This kind of manipulation isn’t a new idea. Throughout history, priestly or ruling elites have guarded sacred knowledge. Rituals, symbols, and timing. These were believed to influence the unseen architecture of reality. Babylonian astrologers. Egyptian temple rites. Medieval grimoires. Occult orders like the Rosicrucians or certain strands of Freemasonry.
Many of these systems suggest that by aligning with (or intentionally misaligning) certain energies, one can shape collective experience. Invoking fear. Dividing people. Feeding off chaos. Whether you call it “invoking demons,” conducting ritual sacrifice, or psychological warfare. The core idea is the same. Use disruption to gain control.
Demons as Distortions
In PET language, what ancient traditions called “demons” might be better understood as interference patterns. Distorted informational currents. Feedback loops gone rogue. Entities that thrive in chaos because chaos keeps the human signal weak. Unfocused. Unaware.
Are these literal beings? Are they symbolic representations of corrupted consciousness? That depends on your lens. Either way, the outcome is the same. A widespread breakdown of coherence. That leaves people vulnerable and disconnected.
The Responsibility to Restore
If coherence is truly power. If harmonized intention can restore order. Then each of us holds a piece of the antidote. Meditation. Clarity. Truth. Generosity. These aren’t just personal virtues. They’re responsibilities. They are field interventions. They clean the signal.
Whether the world is being actively corrupted or simply drifting into entropy. The responsibility remains. Every thought. Every action. Every emotional frequency matters. We are all part of the circuitry. We can choose to amplify the noise. Or restore the harmony. The field is listening.
Voudou Dolls and the Mechanics of Intent
Voudou dolls have long been portrayed as spooky tools for curses. Where sticking pins into a doll somehow affects the real person it represents. But from a field-theory standpoint (especially one rooted in consciousness and EM information fields), this isn’t about fantastical sorcery. It’s about focused intent tied to symbolic resonance.
The doll is a physical anchor. A sympathetic link to the target. The practitioner isn’t harming the doll for the sake of the doll. They’re directing intentional energy through a symbolic conduit. Tapping into a deeper field where consciousness connects all living systems.
But here’s the key. The power of one intent alone is limited. Just as one person meditating can affect their own space but needs many others to affect a whole city. One person’s curse (even if emotionally charged) is weak compared to a coherent group’s shared malice.
The Power of Collective Malice
In traditional voudou practices (and similar systems worldwide) the most potent curses weren’t just personal. They were ritualized. Shared. Witnessed. Sometimes performed by groups. Or in communal settings. Where everyone focused on the same emotional target. Anger. Revenge. Or punishment.
The moment multiple people agree on the target and intent, the field starts to ripple. Coherence of thought + emotional charge + symbolic conduit = amplified effect. This is the same mechanism as the Maharishi Effect. Just pointed in the opposite direction.
Why One Person’s "Good Intentions" Often Fail
This also explains why well-meaning individuals trying to manifest healing, prosperity, or protection often find their efforts ineffective. Good intentions are not enough. Especially when they’re not synchronized or aligned with the collective field.
You can wish yourself health, success, or love. But if your intent is self-centered, and the surrounding field is broadcasting fear, dis-ease, or disconnection. You're swimming upstream. You’re outnumbered. Not morally. But energetically.
This does not mean you are powerless. Or that the situation is hopeless. In fact, it’s quite the contrary. The power and hope come from connecting with others and sharing their collective wishes.
Intent for good becomes powerful only when shared. That’s why community prayers, group healing circles, and mass meditations produce tangible results. Coherence. Synchronization. Emotional alignment. These are the amplifiers. This is your invitation.
Personal vs. Shared Alignment
A person trying to manifest for themselves—without harmonizing with the collective good—often finds their intentions dissipating like static in the wind. It’s not because “good” is weak. It’s because the field doesn’t recognize isolated signals as dominant.
If you want to manifest good effectively, your intent must resonate with the broader web. That means empathy, mutual vision, and shared benefit. When many intend the same good—together—it moves mountains. Alone, it often just stirs dust.
Voudou as a Case Study in Field Mechanics
So rather than dismissing voudou curses as superstition, they can be understood as a coded system of field manipulation. One that uses symbols, emotions, ritual, and shared focus to exert direct influence.
And just like the Maharishi Effect shows the power of mass synchronized peace. Voudou can show the inverse. Mass synchronized resentment, vengeance, or even jealousy can leave real psychic bruises if they find resonance with the target’s field.
The takeaway? Whether it's light or dark, collective intention always trumps the isolated will. Coherence is the key. And perhaps it doesn’t care whether you're blessing or cursing.
Skepticism vs. Open Questions
So, where does all this leave us?
The Maharishi Effect, whether you see it as visionary insight or scientific overreach, points to something bigger than just a meditation study. It suggests that human consciousness might not be confined to the skull. It can ripple outward. Influence the environment. And even organize patterns in social behaviour. That idea may sound strange to conventional science. But within the frameworks of the Electric Universe and Predictive Evolution Theory. It is not strange at all. It is expected.
In the Electric Universe, everything is connected by fields. Plasma, current, magnetism, and information. PET takes that further. Seeing organisms as prediction engines embedded in a web-like fluid of resonant feedback. From this perspective, human beings aren't isolated minds but field-based participants in a collective information system. When enough people align their attention, focus, or emotion, maybe they do alter the field. Just like harmonics reinforcing each other in a vibrating structure.
The Maharishi Effect could be seen as one of many phenomena hinting at an information-energy substrate beneath reality. A layer where thought, emotion, and electromagnetism converge. Whether or not the crime stats in D.C. were truly shifted by meditation, the broader question remains. Are we measuring what matters? Or are we ignoring signals simply because they don’t fit the current model?
It's easy to dismiss ideas like this as fringe. But sometimes the most important breakthroughs begin exactly where the tools don’t quite reach. The real challenge is learning to ask better questions. To build new instruments. And to stay curious. Especially when something doesn’t fit. Maybe the Maharishi Effect isn’t proof. But maybe it’s a signal. And maybe we should be listening.
Whether symbolic or literal, the idea of intentional field disruption forces us to reconsider the nature of evil and influence. If coherence is our defense, then personal integrity, awareness, and clear intention aren’t just moral choices. They are electromagnetic responsibilities. In a connected field of consciousness, restoring harmony may be the most radical act of resistance.
