“…In light of these results, it is suggested that when TM-Sidhi groups are established with government support (most easily, with existing groups, such as military personnel), the potential impact of such TM-Sidhi groups be evaluated on stress-related public health parameters. separate and distant, the predicted effect of these two groups was added independently, that is, square root of ( ) n n 1999-2004, Series 20, No. 2J, 2007.…”

These two studies tested the prediction that the group practice of a procedure for the development of consciousness, the Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program, by a sufficiently large group of individuals would be sufficient to reduce collective stress in the larger population, reflected in two stress-related health indicators, infant mortality rate and drugrelated fatality rate. Based on theoretical prediction and prior research, from January 2007 through 2010 (intervention period), this effect should have been measurable. Change in the rates of these two indicators during the intervention period were estimated from 2002 through 2010 data using a broken-trend (or segmented trend) intervention model with time series regression methods. Significant changes in trend for both the infant mortality rate and drug-related fatality rate were evident at the predicted time and in the predicted direction, controlling for preintervention trends, seasonality, and autocorrelation. The changes in trend were both statistically and practically significant, indicating an average annual decline of 3.12% in infant mortality rate and 7.61% in drug-related fatality rate. Diagnostic tests are satisfactory and indicate that it is unlikely that the statistical results are attributable to spurious regression. The mechanism for these collective effects is discussed in view of possible alternative hypotheses.

“…Two time series transfer function studies that analyzed weekly data from metropolitan Washington, D.C. (1981-1983 and 1993), found reduced violent crime associated with the creation of large groups of TM-Sidhi program participants, the effect varying with the size of the group (each group was above the predicted threshold during the periods of the study; Dillbeck et al, 1988;Hagelin et al, 1999). The first study measured FBI violent crime totals, estimating a 9% decrease, and did not find evidence supporting the alternative hypotheses of demographic changes (youth population), neighborhood crime watch programs, or changes in police coverage (Dillbeck et al, 1988).…”

“…The first study measured FBI violent crime totals, estimating a 9% decrease, and did not find evidence supporting the alternative hypotheses of demographic changes (youth population), neighborhood crime watch programs, or changes in police coverage (Dillbeck et al, 1988). The 1993 transfer function study in Washington D.C., (Hagelin et al, 1999) was a prospective study in which predictions were given in advance to a 27-member project review board of academic and civic leaders. Due to different seasonal patterns, it separately analyzed homicide, rape, and aggravated assault data (termed HRA crimes in the study) from robbery data, the fourth violent crime subcategory, and subsequently jointly estimated the two models for these two categories, yielding a reduction for total violent crime of 15.6%.…”

“…The HRA analysis controlled for weekly variations in temperature, which were strongly positively associated with those crimes; in the case of modeling robberies, the prior seasonal pattern (1988)(1989)(1990)(1991)(1992) was included as a significant predictor. These were the only control variables found to be significant by multiple regression, from a set of potential control variables that included seasonal crime cycles, temperature, precipitation, humidity, daylight hours, changes in police and community anti-crime activities, prior crime trends in Washington D.C., and concurrent crime trends in New York and Philadelphia (Hagelin et al, 1999).…”

This research tests the hypothesis that group practice of the Transcendental Meditation® (TM) and TM-Sidhi® program by a group of sufficient size is associated with reduced rates of homicide and violent crime. Data from a prospective quasiexperiment were analyzed using intervention analysis or interrupted time series analysis. Dependent variables are time series of the U.S. monthly homicide rate as well as violent crime rate from a sample of 206 cities. The binary intervention variable is based on the size of the largest U.S. TM-Sidhi group. Intervention effects were analyzed by time series regression using a broken-trend intervention model. As hypothesized, there was a statistically and practically significant shift in trend in the direction of reduced rates for each of the variables beginning with the onset of the intervention period. Diagnostic tests indicate that key statistical assumptions of the analysis are satisfied. Alternative hypotheses are considered for the apparent effect of macro-level social behavioral change without micro-level behavioral interaction.

“…Social events on the large scale, as for example wars, have the source in "mental" tensions on the higher dimensional Hilbert spaces which then escalate in physical violence. Experiments confirm that continuous meditation of 2500 trained individuals has reduced crime in city DC Washington for 23% during the meditation period (Hagelin et al, 1999). Their meditation has brought peace and harmony in higher dimensional Hilbert spaces which has influenced the individual minds of entire population.…”

Evolution of life has its informational basis in higher dimensional Hilbert spaces which also represent the origin of consciousness and mind. The idea of neurology that mind has its origin in neuronal activity of the brain, which is three-dimensional, is here improved with the model that the mind states exist in higher dimensional Hilbert spaces. Mind is multidimensional and has the ability of PSI phenomena.
