Introducing the theme of revolution of consciousness, Russell Brand writes: “To genuinely make a difference, we must become different; make the tiny, longitudinal shift. Meditate, direct our love in

discriminately and our condemnation exclusively at those with power (…) The revolution of consciousness is a decision, decisions take a moment. In my mind, the revolution has already begun.”

Referring to Brand’s call to arms, David Lynch writes in detail about the benefits of the technique of Transcendental Meditation. Explaining the practice in a wider context of Vedic knowledge and the concept of Unified Field of consciousness, Lynch says:

“Revolutions are usually associated with violence or force. Transcendental Meditation leads to a beautiful, peaceful revolution. A change from suffering and negativity to happiness and a life more and more free of any problems. The secret has always been within. We just need a technique that works to get us there to unfold a most beautiful future.”

New Statesman, vanguard for a better world

The magazine is committed to “development, human rights and the environment, global issues the mainstream press often ignores”.
