John Hagelin, Ph.D., is President of Maharishi International University (MIU) and Professor of Physics. Dr. Hagelin discusses how the discovery of the unified field of all the laws of nature is helping humanity understand the profound importance of the experience of pure consciousness through the TM technique. He also discusses the practical benefits of daily TM practice and how it naturally leads us to the highest levels of creativity and true happiness in the state of enlightenment.

Dr. Hagelin is a world-renowned quantum physicist, educator, public policy expert, proponent of peace, and scientist of consciousness. He helped develop a highly successful grand unified field theory based on the superstring. His scientific contributions in the fields of electroweak unification, grand unification, supersymmetry, and cosmology include some of the most cited references in the physical sciences. He is among an elite cadre of physicists who have fulfilled Einstein’s dream of a “theory of everything” through their mathematical formulation of the unified field—the most advanced scientific knowledge of our time.

Dr. Hagelin discusses how the discovery of the unified field of all the laws of nature is helping humanity understand the profound importance of the experience of pure consciousness through the TM technique.

For the past quarter century, Dr. Hagelin has also investigated the nature and origin of consciousness, including higher states of human consciousness, and has spoken on this topic at major national and international conferences. In addition to being MIU’s President, he is the International President of the Global Union of Scientists for Peace.

As National Director of the educational nonprofit U.S. TM organization, Dr. Hagelin has helped bring the Transcendental Meditation program to hundreds of thousands of at-risk children and adults—from inner-city school children to veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress to prisoners to active-duty servicemen and women. He has significantly increased public awareness of the benefits of the TM technique for addressing critical problems in crime, education, and more.

Dr. Hagelin received his A.B. in Physics summa cum laude from Dartmouth College in 1975 and his Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University in 1981. He has conducted pioneering research at CERN (European Organization for Nuclear Research) and at SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center).

Mario Orsatti, the host of TM Talks and Senior Teacher of the Center for Health and Wellness, a division of the David Lynch Foundation, interviewed Dr. Hagelin on January 22, 2023.
