Consciousness-Based Education: Solution for WHO study of 200,000 students in 41 European countries

Global Good News 12/13 May 2008

Dr Eckart Stein, Director of Education for the Global Country of World Peace in Invincible Germany, a leading quantum physicist and researcher in quantum chromodynamics, reported on a recent Maharishi Global Family Chat about a wave of press articles on the problems of education in Germany and a conference about Consciousness-Based Education, held in response to these articles.

Dr Stein said that education is currently facing many problems, and people are becoming more and more aware of this. The solution is Consciousness-Based Education, which develops the total brain potential of the student, giving knowledge and experience of his own Self. Illustrating his talk with slides, Dr Stein pointed out that there was 'an uproar in the German press recently when they found out that the current system of education actually makes pupils sick'.

The World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a study of more than 200,000 children in 41 countries of Europe, and found that one fifth of students suffer from headaches, stomach aches, and all kinds of psychosomatic diseases just from going to school. Stress in schools is damaging the health of the children, 'but they have not yet found out,' said Dr Stein, 'that stress in schools is actually damaging the brain of the students.'

Dr Stein translated the headline of one newspaper, which read: 'Sick pupils running big risk'. Dr Stein said this means that 'when you go to school, you are not going there to develop your full potential, you're not going to learn something to fulfil your desire as a student who wants to learn, or to fulfil the desire of the teachers who want to give out knowledge; but it's like ''taking a medicine''. The article stated that school is like a medicine that has side effects.'

The WHO study shows that school influences health, the article explained. Students have fear and stress in schools, and physical problems.

The study was put forward by a university in Germany, and became big news in Germany. 'That's what every principal, every teacher, every child, and every parent knows. It's written down in a book with 300 pages, and they are now looking for a solution,' Dr Stein said.

Another monthly magazine asked, 'What is the ideal school? What should a school be like?' The article says: 'Health question number 1: What is the ideal school?'

The first question the article asks is, 'What is knowledge?' 'We know the definition of Total Knowledge,' said Dr Stein. 'Know that by knowing which everything else is known.'


Dr Stein said that following these articles in the press (which were prompted by a major World Health Organization [WHO] study), they plan to hold a day of Total Knowledge in all the cities of Germany, and to establish centres of Total Knowledge in all the 16 states of Germany. Invitations have been sent out to hundreds of schools. In one town they placed an article in the newspaper and held a conference about stress-free schools and Consciousness-Based Education.

One of the teachers who spoke at this conference is also a long-time Teacher of Transcendental Meditation. 'I am a normal teacher teaching at normal schools,' she said, 'but I'm also a Teacher of Transcendental Meditation. I have learnt from Maharishi how to give out Total Knowledge, and I want to implement Total Knowledge in all the schools in Germany.' This made a great impression on the audience, Dr Stein said.

Another speaker was a young girl from Maharishi School in Vlodrop in the Netherlands. 'It's quite unusual that a girl of 13 or 14 years gets up in front of an audience, and without any notes, talks about the benefits of education and that she wants that in all schools in Germany,' said Dr Stein.

The daughter of a Teacher of Transcendental Meditation spoke, and another teacher gave a presentation on Consciousness-Based Education being introduced all over the world—in Holland, the United States, and in many countries of Latin America.

As a result one teacher in the audience, who was sent by a school director to get all the information, was delighted and wants to learn Transcendental Meditation.

One professor of education called and said that he had heard [about the conference] too late but wanted to know everything about the course and the ability 'to know everything, do everything, and to accomplish everything.'

The director of a small school of about 100 pupils said she would like to introduce Consciousness-Based Education in her school. She was not at this conference but had heard of it before, and wanted 'to have the whole thing' in her school: the principles of Creative Intelligence, Yoga Asanas**, and self-pulse reading***—everything that develops the whole student. 'This is what I want to have,' she said, 'I want to have the whole thing.'

This school director was thinking not only about education for the individual, but also about creating invincibility for the nation.

** Yoga asanas: Simple Maharishi Yoga postures and breathing exercises to enhance physiological balance and mind-body coordination.

*** Self-pulse reading: A simple Maharishi Ayur-Veda technique for detecting balance and imbalance in the body through 'reading' one's own pulse.
