Our Leaders Need More than Hope -By Arlene J. Schar and Dr. David Leffler
“The kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not want a war in the region nor does it seek that, It will do what it can
to prevent this war…”
–Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir
Attacks on Saudi Arabia’s energy sector have recently elevated tensions
in the Persian Gulf. The US has sent an aircraft carrier strike force,
and US nonessential staff have been ordered out of their diplomatic
posts in Iraq. The oil firm Exxon Mobil
has evacuated their personnel, and the US Federal Aviation Administration has warned
commercial air traffic of increased risk.
When asked if the US is going to war with Iran, President Donald Trump
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif told state news agency IRNA that Tehran does not want a war. Likewise, “The kingdom of Saudi Arabia does not want a war in the region nor does it seek that,” according to Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Adel al-Jubeir. And yet despite hopes to avoid war, tensions remain high and miscalculations by any party could trigger conflict.
While no one wants war, we have over time created a culture in which war is often seen as the only solution to irreconcilable differences. Fortunately, there are better ways to solve problems than by declaring war. One proven way to resolve differences is by utilizing a little known means of ending all war and terrorism once and for all: Invincible Defense Technology (IDT).
Invincible Defense Technology: A Non-Religious, Humane and Beneficial Approach
The practical components of IDT are the non-religious Transcendental
Meditation (TM) and the more advanced TM-Sidhi programs. When large
groups of experts practice these programs together, a powerful field
effect of coherence and peace is generated that spills
over into the surrounding population. Extensive scientific research has
repeatedly confirmed measurable decreases in war deaths, terrorism, and
crime when IDT is utilized. Due to this research the non-profit
organization Global Union of Scientists for Peace
(GUSP) advocates this simple and cost-effective approach for reducing
social stress (see: https://www.gusp.org/global-peace-summit).
Invincible Defense Technology is Cost-Effective
Any military is capable of training and maintaining groups of experts in
the advanced IDT strategy. This Prevention Wing of the Military would
practice IDT programs twice a day in large groups, defusing social
tensions. The collective consciousness of all populations
will rise through the influence of greater harmony and peace. Those who
have engaged in violence will no longer do so. Studies have shown
repeatedly that this method works – and will continue to work as long as
the peace-creating group is maintained.
Implementation
IDT is not restricted to the military. Any large group of experts
trained in the advanced IDT techniques can accomplish the same goals of
alleviating terror and violence by practicing this approach in groups
twice a day. These groups could be comprised of congregations
at places of worship, prisoners, the elderly in retirement homes, even
schoolchildren. The important factor is that the techniques be performed
by trained experts consistently in groups twice a day. Simply by doing
this, the threat of war would be eradicated.
Nothing Else has Worked
