PART IV: THEORETICAL PAPERS

99. DOMASH, L. H. The Transcendental Meditation technique and quantumphysics: Is pure consciousness a macroscopic quantum state in the brain?Department of Physics, Maharishi European Research University, Switzerland,1975.

In this contribution, the data of many of the preceding papers are organizedinto a theory of the Transcendental Meditation technique. Intended mainlyfor an audience of physicists, this paper should be of interest to psychologists,physiologists, and philosophers as well. The author interprets the pureconsciousness state induced by the Transcendental Meditation technique interms of quantum physics as a zero-entropy vacuum state, and puts forwardthe hypothesis that a form of superconductivity in the brain may underlieits physiology.

100. ORME-JOHNSON, D. The dawn of the Age of Enlightenment: Experimentalevidence that the Transcendental Meditation technique produces a fourthand a fifth state of consciousness in the individual and a profound influenceof orderliness in society. Department of Psychology, Maharishi EuropeanResearch University, Switzerland, 1976.

A review of scientific data shows that a fourth state of consciousnessis reached through the Transcendental Meditation program. It is seen thatrepeated experience of this state develops a fifth state of consciousness,cosmic consciousness or enlightenment, in which behavior is spontaneously"in accord with all the laws of nature."
