02 / About John

John Hagelin, Ph.D., received his A.B. summa cum laude from Dartmouth and his Ph.D. in physics from Harvard. He conducted pioneering research at CERN and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, publishing highly cited work in particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology.

For over 25 years, Dr. Hagelin has led research into human consciousness, demonstrating how meditation can improve brain development, foster higher states of awareness, and reduce crime and violence through collective practice.

He is President Emeritus and Distinguished Professor of Physics at Maharishi International University and International President of the Global Union of Scientists for Peace (GUSP.org). As author of Manual for a Perfect Government and 2000 U.S. Presidential nominee of the Reform Party and Natural Law Party, he has advanced evidence-based, sustainable solutions for society.

The Unified Field: A Path to Lasting Peace

02 / Mission & Vision

Dr. Hagelin’s research shows that enlightenment is humanity’s natural birthright — a result of balanced brain functioning attainable through meditation. Large-scale studies confirm that groups of trained meditators reduce crime and violence, creating a measurable “field effect” of peace.

1992

Founded the Natural Law Party – ran 400+ candidates nationwide.

1996–2000

U.S. Presidential candidate promoting prevention-oriented policies

1993

Led $6M Washington, D.C. project with 4,000 meditators — violent crime dropped 26%

2001–Present

Founded and directed the Institute of Science, Technology and Public Policy
