A New Integrated Approach

his chart presents an overview of a new integrated approach to Education. The left side of the chart illustrates
the interconnections of every part of Education, from its fundamental principles to its applications throughout
society; and shows how the whole field of Education has its basis in the Unified Field of Natural Law, from
where all the Laws of Nature govern the orderly evolution of the universe. This vision of the whole field of Education
at a glance, on the left side of the chart, helps the student to "connect the parts with the whole," to connect the specific
areas of knowledge with the whole discipline and with the source of all disciplines in the Unified Field of all the Laws
of Nature. The right side of the chart shows how the Unified Field of Natural Law becomes a living reality for everyone
through the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, which allows individual awareness to identify itself with the
Unified Field of Natural Law, the field of pure consciousness, in the simplest state of ones own awareness, Transcendental
Consciousness. This technology enlivens the infinite organizing power of Natural Law in ones own thoughts and actions,
for a life spontaneously lived in full accord with Natural Law.

The Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field unites the knowledge of Natural Law discovered by the objective
approach of modern science with the direct experience of Natural Law provided by the subjective approach of
Maharishi Vedic Science. It integrates the knowledge of the Unified Field brought to light by quantum physics with
the subjective experience of the Unified Field gained through the Transcendental Meditation program. This integrated
approach to knowledge enlivens the Unified Field in the awareness of the individual, bringing thought and action
spontaneously into accordance with Natural Law, so that the individual enjoys the full support of all the Laws of
Nature in every aspect of life.

Maharishi Vedic Science offers complete and systematic knowledge of the eternal self-referral dynamics of the
field of pure consciousness knowing itself. It provides the direct subjective approach to the unified basis of Natural
Law, the Unified Field of Natural Law, the field of pure consciousness. According to Maharishi Vedic Science the
complete knowledge of the self-referral dynamics of the field of pure consciousness is available in the most ancient
record of knowledge, k Veda and the Vedic Literature. k Veda and the Vedic Literature display the "fluctuations"
of the Unified Field of pure consciousness, which are spontaneously generated from the self-referral impulses (Vittis)
of the intelligence of the Unified Field within itself. These impulses are generated as the field of pure consciousness
recognizes itself in terms of the three qualitiesthe observer, process of observing and the observedwithin the unity
of its self-referral state.
In Vedic language, the Unified Field of Natural Law is called SAHIT, the observer is called ISHI, process of
observing is called DEVAT, and the observed is called CHHANDAS. Maharishi Vedic Science is the science of the
Unified Field of observer, process of observation, and observed, the science of the Sahit of ishi, Devat, and
Chhandasthe science of k Veda. The self-interacting dynamics of consciousness, expressed in k Veda is further
elaborated in the whole Vedic Literature and expressed in the infinite diversity of Natural Law governing the everexpanding universe. k Veda is therefore the Constitution of the Universe, the fundamental structure of Natural Law
whose perfect order is expressed in the order and harmony displayed throughout the universe. k Veda, the Constitution
of the Universe, is the unseen level of intelligence present within every grain of creation. Tony Nader, M.D., Ph.D.,
has recently discovered a precise correspondence between k Veda and the Vedic Literature, the inner intelligence
of the body, and its expressions in the structures and functions of human physiology. This discovery brings to light
that the totality of Natural Law is present within every individuals consciousness and physiology, opening the possibility
for human life to be spontaneously lived in accordance with Natural Law.

Theory: Quantification of Pure Intelligence

In addition to the global organization shown in the chart, the internal structure of each area of Computer Science
is also shown. The theory of Computer Science has the foundations of Mathematics at its basis, which ultimately
originates from the primordial quantification of pure intelligence, when intelligence becomes aware of itself and
creates the three-in-one structure of observer, process of observing, and observed. This quantification of the one
unbounded wholeness of intelligence into three interacting parts is the origin of Mathematics, which finds progressive
elaboration in the theories of Computer Science: models, algorithms, and theories of programs and languages.

Software is created from the interaction of objects and operations, the most fundamental elements of all
programming languages. This dynamics of objects and operations originates in the self-referral dynamics of
the Unified Field of pure intelligence, where intelligence takes on the role of both object and operation by
operating on itself to create the entire diversity of Natural Law. This interaction of intelligence with itself finds
expression in computer software as the interaction of objects and operations at the various levels of organization
in computer programs. As shown in the Unified Field Chart, software hierarchically combines the most simple
representation of objects and operations to form successively larger programs, finally leading to software
engineering which provides a set of tools and methods to easily create computer programs.

Hardware
Computer hardware is created from knowledge of electronics, which is based on the interaction of charged
particles, such as electrons, with the electromagnetic field. According to Quantum Field Theory, electrons and
the electromagnetic fieldlike all other particles and fieldsemerge as different components of the Unified Field
of Natural Law, the ultimate source of all forms and phenomena in the universe. The chart shows the hierarchical
organization of the entire field of computer hardware beginning with electronics. This expresses itself into digital
electronic components, which in turn are assembled to create powerful micro-electronic computer devices.
These are integrated through the methods of computer engineering to form the basis of a variety of system
configurations.

The fundamental properties of the Unified Field comprise the well-known properties of any non-Abelian gauge field
that incorporates quantum gravity. These include the property of self-referral or self-interaction, which is reflected in
the Lagrangian or fundamental mathematical formula quantifying the Laws of Nature at the level of the Unified Field.
The Unified Field is the fountain-head of Natural Law, since all the Laws of Nature expressed in the effective field
theories governing physics at larger distance scales are already contained in seed form in the original supersymmetric
Lagrangian of the Unified Field. Since it is the fountain-head of Natural Law, the Unified Field represents the most
concentrated field of intelligence in Nature.

The intimate relationship between the Science and Technology of the Unified Field and the traditional
knowledge of Computer Science is graphically illustrated in the Unified Field Chart for Computer Science. This
chart shows the Unified Field of Natural Law as the basis and source of the entire field of Computer Science.
The self-interacting dynamics of the Unified Field creates a three-in-one structure, which is reflected in the
three major aspects of Computer Science: theory, software, and hardware.
The Unified Field, which is the basis of Computer Science and all fields of knowledge, can be directly
experienced and utilized through the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field. Through the Science and
Technology of the Unified Field every computer professional now has the opportunity to make practical use
of the total organizing power of Nature in daily life. While continuing to develop and apply the specific knowledge
of Computer Science, every computer scientist can now reach a state of enlightenment, living life in accordance
with Natural Law, free from problems and mistakes.

The developments in modern science, in particular in quantum physics, have opened new perspectives for a unified
understanding of Nature. By probing Natures functioning at finer distance scales, modern science has accomplished
a profound advancement towards a unified comprehension of the structure and dynamics of matter, culminating in
the discovery of the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature, the transcendental basis of creation.
Historically, the analysis of the microscopic structure of matter began with the idea that all substances are composed
of tiny particles, like atoms and their subatomic constituents. With the development of quantum theory, however,
physicists soon had to conclude that the classical particle picture is quite inadequate for the description of these
constituents of matter, and realized that the different elementary particles have to be conceived as specific resonant
excitations of fundamental quantum fields.
Prior to the development of unified field theories scientists had discovered a variety of separate quantum fields, such
as the four force fields (the electromagnetic, the weak, the strong, and the gravitational interactions) as well as the various
matter fields. In the last few decades it was realized that with the progression towards finer distance scales an increasing
unification of the laws of nature takes place so that previously separate quantum fields turn out to be merely different
components of underlying unified quantum fields. This process of unification culminates in a complete unification at
the level of the Planck scale (10 -33 cm) where all the various force and matter fields are unified into one single Unified
Field of Natural Law, the holistic transcendental field underlying all manifest creation. Superstring theory, the most
recent and successful unified field theory, derives all the different force and matter fields from the different vibrational
modes of a single underlying supersymmetric unified fieldthe superstring field. The dynamism at this fundamental level
of the Planck scale is governed by Natural Law in its complete unified form, and all diversity at more superficial levels
emerges from this unified state of Natural Law by a process which is called sequential symmetry breaking.

It is striking how the properties of the Unified Field are precisely the attributes of consciousness. Consciousness
alone is fully self-referral, since only consciousness has the ability to know itself in a completely self-sufficient manner.
Moreover, consciousness in its self-referral state, Transcendental Consciousness, is the source of all mental activity
and therefore a field of pure intelligence and infinite creative dynamism. Since the fundamental properties of the
Unified Field are identical to those of consciousness in its self-referral state, it is natural to conclude that the Unified
Field of Natural Law and the field of pure consciousness are equivalent. This is easily verified through the Maharishi
Transcendental Meditation technique, which opens human awareness to the direct experience of Transcendental
Consciousness, pure consciousness, where consciousness is found identified with the Unified Field of all the Laws of
Nature. During the Maharishi TM-Sidhi program all the subjective and objective qualities of creation are seen to
emerge from the field of pure consciousness as modes of ones own self-referral intelligence.

These three aspects of computing (theory, software, and hardware) merge to form systems programs, which
fully encapsulate the capabilities of the underlying hardware and software components and provide the basis
for fully-integrated computing environments. These computing environments are then used to create applications
ready to serve the different areas of national life.
Since it captures the complete value of the discipline and the Unified Field, this chart is useful for understanding
the overall structure of Computer Science and is an invaluable tool for every computer professional. The chart
presents an easy method to see the relation of each part of Computer Science to ever other part, and to the
discipline as a whole. It also shows the relationship of Compute Science to the Unified Field, and thus directly
to the consciousness of the computer scientist. Relating the discipline to consciousness provides a sound foundation
for understanding the entire discipline easily, and gives the key to capturing the complete potential of the
discipline through its source, the Unified Field.
Through the practice of the Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, every computer professional can
apply the unbounded organizing power of Natural Law at the source of Computer Science to any individual
area of application. This will ensure that every computer professional is living a happy and healthy life, and is
making a significant contribution to creating Heaven on Earth.

Life in Accordance with Natural Law

When individuals function from the level of the Unified Field, they automatically receive the support of all
the Laws of Nature. Every impulse of thought is upheld by the infinite organizing power of Natural Law, which
conducts the infinite range and diversity of activity in the universe with maximum efficiency, in accordance
with the Principle of Least Action. The Maharishi Technology of the Unified Field, Maharishi Transcendental
Meditation and TM-Sidhi programs culture the ability to spontaneously function from the Unified Field of
Natural Law, and thereby gain mastery over Natural Lawthe ability to know anything, do everything right,
and achieve any great goal.

National Law Upheld by Natural Law

Law is the guiding light of life. Natural Law guides life on every level of creation, from the submicroscopic
world of elementary particles to the large-scale structure of the universe. National law guides the life of the
nation and has its ultimate basis in Natural Law.
Natural Law has its unified foundation in the Unified Field of all the Laws of Nature (level 1). This chart
displays how all the diversified values of Natural Law as discovered by modern science emerge from this unified
level of Natural Law. Ultimately, the diversity of Natural Law displayed throughout creation is reflected in the
diversity of human nature and in the innumerable tendencies expressed in different lands throughout the world,
and even within the borders of individual nations.
It is the diversified structure of Natural Law itself, reflected in the diverse trends and tendencies displayed
by the individual citizens of a nation, that gives rise to the necessity for man-made laws; national law regulates
and administers the trends and needs of the various segments of society. Ideally, national law satisfies the diverse
needs of every citizen, and organizes for the mutual fulfilment of all areas of the national life.

Alliance with Natural Law

The key to successful administration of the nation is to create an integrated national consciousness, in which
all sectors of society and all citizens are experiencing continuous progress and increasing fulfilment of their
goals. This is achieved by creating an indomitable influence of coherence in national consciousness through a
group of Yogic Flyersexperts in the Maharishi TM-Sidhi program. Scientific research has shown that group
practice of the Maharishi TM-Sidhi program creates coherence in collective consciousness, eliminates collective
stress, and raises life to be increasingly in accord with Natural Law, as indicated by reduction of crime, accidents,
violence, and sickness, as well as improved economic trends and quality of life.
When one per cent of the individuals in a nation practice Transcendental Meditation, or the square root of
one per cent of the population practises collectively the TM-Sidhi program, including Yogic Flying, the influence
of orderliness and harmony they produce is sufficient to uplift the entire national consciousness, neutralizing
negative trends and enhancing positivity throughout the nation.
The introduction of Maharishi Vedic Science and Technology into the training programs of government
leaders, the civil service, the armed forces, and the police, and into the educational system, the health services,
business and industry, and rehabilitation will enliven the total intelligence of Natural Law in national life. When
the government maintains a group of the square root of one per cent of the worlds population, 7000 people,
creating coherence in national and world consciousness and bringing support of Nature to the nation, Natural
Law will support national law and the nation will enjoy unrestricted progress and prosperity, and invincibility.
As Natural Law is always evolutionary, with the support of Natural Law every government will gain the
ability to satisfy everyone, and all systems of government prevalent in the world today will find their fulfilment.
By gaining the support of the infinite organizing power of Natural Law, through a coherence-creating Group
for a Government, the administration of government through national law will rise to the level of perfect
administration of Nature through Natural Lawthe Unified Field of all the Laws of Natureall governments
will function as effortlessly and efficiently as the Government of Nature, which administers the entire universe
with perfect orderliness and without a noise, and the man-made constitution of the nation will enjoy full alliance
with the eternal Constitution of the Universe.
