His Holinett Mthvifhi Mahoih Yogi, Fuunder of the Tniiucendental Medliaiion Program Dear Student, There’s something you can do for a short time each day that will improve every aspect of your life—your grades, your future career, your relationships, everything—all at the same time. What’s more, it’s easy to do. Over 1,000,000 stu dents have experienced the bene fits. And you can too. You’ll learn about it soon at a special free lecture on the Transcendental Meditation tech nique, and regardless of what you’ve already heard about TM, this entertaining talk will surprise and enlighten you. More than that, it may well change your life. My name is Kevin Blair. I’m president of the student govern ment at Maharishi International University, where students, fac ulty, and staff all practice the TM technique. I want to tell you three things about the upcoming lecture: IAt the lecture, you’ll learn how the simple, natural TM technique, which is practiced for 15-20 minutes twice a day, brings profound benefits to mind and body, and how these benefits automatically improve one’s social behavior, school and job per formance, and much more. ** "fT» hcperiencing th$ unified through the TM technlqut really givBS me more support of nature. As soon as I beg(m-^7Mt,tv^htng became et^er, and grade-popu average ftp'a who^ point!” -Sam'BooiHinyy PftD, cmiMtate EduemUm Harvard University “ \ ' Scientific Research 2 You’I! also learn about the vast amount of scientific research that’s been done on TM (more than 350 studies worldwide over the past 15 years). If you really want to know how to improve your grades, your career, and your life, there’s an upcoming lecture you shouldn’t miss. And you’ll learn that a lot of the research findings are directly rele-. van! io your personal and aca demic development as a student. Here, for example, is a partial list of the research results in the field of education: ■ increased intelligence ■ improved comprehension, concentration, and memory ■ increased learning ability ■ increased speed in solving problems ■ increased creativity ■ broader comprehension and ability to focus attention ■ improved academic performance ■ reduced stress and anxiety ■ decreased use of drugs, alcohol, and cigarettes ■ increased happiness ■ improved relationships be tween students and teachers ■ improved mind-body coordination ■ improved athletic performance Now, I’m sure you’d like to have some of those qualities grow ing in your life. Well you can. And the beautiful thing is that these qualities grow naturally, simply as a result of practicing the TM technique. World Peace 3 Finally, if you are con cerned not just with your own future, but also the future of our nation and the world, there’s even more reason to attend the lecture. This is because the TM tech nique doesn’t just help the in dividual. The coherence generated when people practice TM extends to society as a whole. Research has shown that when as little as the square root of one percent of a population practices the TM pro gram and its advanced aspects, the entire population becomes more orderly, peaceful, and progressive. “ ^ the best antMote ' A iVl. to stress I know &/, When individuals are fheeof - xi."' stress^ they behave more - moniousiy, Vm convintedjj^^,. people practiced TM, world . j peace would be a reality.''^ ~~Kurlelgh D, King Director, Institute for'-World^^':^^ Leadership Former Director-CeneraU ' Caribbean Campftunity and Common Market This “Super Radiance Effect” has been demonstrated in commun ities, cities—even entire nations. This brings great hope for the future, because it means that the age-old problems of world peace may at last have a solution. It Works! If you’re wondering how one simple technique can bring so many benefits to mind, body, behavior, and even the world as a whole, I urge you to attend the free lecture. The explanation you’ll hear is at once simple, scientific, and profound. ** TnT^/f ^ single most important part of being a peak performer. It gives you the ability to excel in an environment of stress, to makerapld-decisionsibased orf rapid changes, and to do so functioning very well *’ —Christopher Hegarty, President Hegarty and Associates San Francisco, CA You’ll hear, for example, about the unified field of all the laws ol' nature as described by modern physics and by ancient Vedic science. And about how the TM technique lets you experience the unified field within your own con sciousness. And about how that ex perience, gained regularly, brings you the support of all the laws of nature. tm, "^^ou>mnapertence the knoi> yourselft" Neurosiknee ' "' Maharisht International University - , The main thing, however, i«: that TM works, 1 know from my own experience. I’ve been practic ing the technique for 6 years, and its made me more relaxed, yet more dynamic and productive. As a result, I’m enjoying greater suc cess—both in and out of the classroom! Of course, whether you start the TM technique or not is up to you. But doesn’t it make sense to at least attend the lecture? If even ten percent of what I’ve said about TM proves to be true, think what it could mean for your achieve ment and happiness for the rest of your life. TV Special One more thing: There will be a TV special on Tran scendental Meditation soon. On the show you’ll meet people from all walks of life who practice the TM technique— doctors, business people, students, even an assistant at torney general of California. They’ll tell you how the TM technique has increased their pro ductivity, improved their health, enhanced their ability to get along well with others, and much more. The dates and times of both the lecture and the TV special are given below. I hope you’ll be there for at least one of them. And don’t hesitate to bring your friends: you’ll be doing a great thing for them as well! Wishing you success in all that you do, Kevin Blair President, Student Government Maharishi International University Transcendental Meditation Free Lecture Thursday, February 12th--12:05 P.M. and 7:30 P.M.
