PRESENTS: WILL WORK FOR PEACE

Guests: David Orme-Johnson and Chris Busch

PermanentPeace.Org. (http://permanentpeace.org/) is an organization whose goal is to empower people everywhere with knowledge that can be used to create peace worldwide—timeless knowledge about the power of consciousness as brought to light by His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and validated thoroughly in scientific research.This newly verified technology makes use of large groups of peace-creating experts. The inner peace generated by such a peace-creating group radiates into society as an influence of harmony and coherence. The effects are easily measured as reduced crime, terrorism and war and an upliftment in the quality of life. 

My guest is David Orme-Johnson, Ph.D., one of the principal researchers in the world on meditation studies, especially expert on the Maharishi Effect and the remarkable social studies that form the basis of the work of PermanentPeace.Org. David is one of the principal researchers in the world on meditation and its effects, having over 100 publications, mostly in peer-reviewed journals. He has been asked to review the meditation research on chronic pain and insomnia by a National Institutes of Health Technology Assessment conference. He has traveled to over 56 countries to speak on the research on meditation to scientific conferences, the public, the press, program directors, government officials, members of Congress, parliaments, heads of state, and the United Nations.
