SNIP-

This will be the century of disasters.

In the same way that the 20th century was the century of world wars, genocide, and grinding ideological conflict, the 21st will be the century of natural disasters and technological crises and unholy combinations of the two. It'll be the century when the things that we count on to go right will, for whatever reason, go wrong.

Late last month, as the Mississippi River rose in what is destined to be the worst flood in decades, and as the residents of Alabama and other states rummaged through the debris of a historic tornado outbreak, physicists at a meeting in Anaheim, Calif., had a discussion about the dangers posed by the sun.

Solar flares, scientists believe, are a disaster waiting to happen. Thus one of the sessions at the American Physical Society's annual meeting was devoted to discussing the hazard of electromagnetic pulses (EMPs) caused by solar flares or terrorist attacks. Such pulses could fry transformers and knock out the electrical grid over much of the nation. Last year the Oak Ridge National Laboratory released a study saying the damage might take years to fix and cost trillions of dollars.


'Black swan' events

All of these things have the common feature of low probability and high consequence. They're "black swan" events. They're unpredictable in any practical sense. They're also things that ordinary people probably should not worry about on a daily basis. You can't fear the sun. You can't worry that a rock will fall out of the sky and smash the earth, or that the ground will open up and swallow you like a vitamin. A key element of maintaining one's sanity is knowing how to ignore risks that are highly improbable at any given point in time.

And yet in the coming century, these or other black swans will seem to occur with surprising frequency. There are several reasons for this. We have chosen to engineer the planet. We have built vast networks of technology. We have created systems that, in general, work very well, but are still vulnerable to catastrophic failures. It is harder and harder for any one person, institution, or agency to perceive all the interconnected elements of the technological society. Failures can cascade. There are unseen weak points in the network. Small failures can have broad consequences.

Most importantly: We have more people, and more stuff, standing in the way of calamity. We're not suddenly having more earthquakes, but there are now 7 billion of us, a majority living in cities. In 1800, only Beijing could count a million inhabitants, but at last count there were 381 cities with at least 1 million people. Many are "megacities" in seismically hazardous places—Mexico City, Caracas, Tehran, and Kathmandu being among those with a lethal combination of weak infrastructure (unreinforced masonry buildings) and a shaky foundation.

INVINCIBLE DEFENCE

The Maharishi Effect is the phenomenon of the rise of coherence in the collective consciousness of any community.

The Maharishi Effect was discovered by social scientists in the USA in 1974 in four towns, where the number of people participating in the Transcendental Meditation Programme had reached one per cent of the town’s population.

They noted that when one per cent of the town’s population practised Transcendental Meditation, the trend of rising crime rate was reversed, indicating increasing order and harmony.

‘Research scientists named this phenomenon of rising coherence in the collective consciousness of the whole society the Maharishi Effect, because this was the realization of my promise to society made in the very early days of the Movement (1957).’

‘The phenomenon of the Maharishi Effect (like the phenomenon of the Meissner Effect* in Physics) discovered by scientists has repeatedly verified that coherence in collective consciousness and positivity and harmony in national consciousness is produced by the group practice of my Transcendental Meditation. This has proved to be a formula to create irreversible world peace and Heaven on Earth—all good to everyone and non-good to no one—the basis of a coherent, integrated society and a perfect government.’

I tend to get irritated whenever I read of over-population of the planet when in reality it is total mismanagement of the planets resources. There are means currently available for free energy, clean water, clean air, clearing up all of the radiation pollution, all of the toxic wastes and providing healthy food without pesticides.

The other issue of course is just how many of these disasters are triggered by man (HAARP) and/or aliens at war.

This is such a beautiful planet and there are so many filled with evil who work at turning the planet around to match their inner distortions and warring nature.
