  The collective practice of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field by one group of 7,000 experts-the square root of one percent of the world's population-assembled at Maharishi International University, U.S.A., was found to create coherence in the entire world consciousness, leading to an improved quality of life throughout the world. This was reflected in increased progress by heads of state in reversing negative trends and accelerating positive trends; increased harmony in international affairs; increased worldwide economic prosperity, as expressed in the simultaneous rise of stock markets in many different countries; decreased traffic fatalities; decreased air traffic fatalities; increased creativity, as measured by increased numbers of patent applications; decreased incidence of infectious diseases; and decreased crime.
