The term Invincible Defence Technology (IDT) has been around for some time now. Based on what is termed The Maharishi Effect, IDT takes Unified Field Science to the next level of popular consciousness. The scientific proof of its viability is strong enough to warrant further investigation.
INTRODUCTION
In the 1960's a bearded man from India popularised Transcendental Meditation (TM) in the world, especially through The Beatles. It turned out to be a very popular way for people to reduce stress and to make significant positive changes in their lives. The man in question, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, predicted that a small element of individuals meditating together could ensure the absence of conflict and a dramatic lowering of crime rates in the larger social group they represented. Skepticism was soon replaced by awe when scientific trials started to prove that this was indeed possible.

MEDITATION
Invincible Defence Technology is based on the unifying effect of group meditation. But it is also important that we understand the numerous benefits of meditation for the individual, including the reduction of stress. Studies published in medical journals and described in publications like Psychology Today have proven that the Transcendental Meditation technique delivers the following benefits:
- Reduces anxiety attacks as it lowers the levels of blood lactate.
- Builds self confidence.
- Increases serotonin, a neurotransmitter influencing mood state and behavior. Low levels of serotonin are associated with aggression, depression, headaches, and insomnia. Higher levels are associated with well being and a positive outlook.
- Enhances energy, strength and vigour.
- Helps keep blood pressure normal.
- Reduces stress and tension.
- Creates a state of deep relaxation and general feeling of well-being.
- Helps with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (videos and other information)
- Increases concentration and strengthens the mind.
- Helps reduce heart disease.
- Helps with weight loss.
More than 6 Million people practice Transcendental Meditation worldwide. This form of meditation is so popular that companies like General Motors let their employees meditate once in the morning and once in the afternoon. This practice is becoming more prevalent in many American and British schools. In the USA especially, organisations like the David Lynch Foundation are encouraging TM.
It would seem that the only criticism leveled against TM is that it is based on Buddhism. However, TM does not lead to conversion to Buddhism, but merely provides the benefits described above. TM's origins stem from the ancient Vedic Tradition, which pre-dates Buddhism. No person practicing TM is going to suddenly become a Buddhist. It should also be noted that other religions like Sufism and even Christianity (prayer) apply meditation in some form.
INVINCIBLE DEFENCE TECHNOLOGY
With TM, research into and application of the Unified Field Theory gives us the potential to actually prevent wars and serious crimes by addressing societal stress and similar factors leading to anti-social behaviour. It is possible for a small number of individuals amounting to the square root of one percent of a given population to influence through meditation the negative consciousness of the larger group. This can be compared to finding one's self in the company of a strong individual who exudes love for everybody; one cannot help but to feel the same toward everyone in the immediate vicinity. It is as if the person radiates energy, which on the sub-atomic level of course is what the universe and everything we know consists of.
The effect of IDT has now been validated in more than 600 studies by more than a hundred separate agencies and institutions in 35 countries worldwide, and this effort is accelerating. A comprehensive resource with articles and publications on IDT is available on the website of David R. Leffler, Ph.D. Dr Leffler and his wife Lee have dedicated this site to IDT and related subjects. The site is titled Invincible Defence Technology Command Center.

PROPOSAL TO IMPLEMENTATION IDT IN A MODERN SOUTH AFRICAN DEFENCE FORCE
In an Alternative White Paper On the New Security and Defence Policy of the Federal Republic of Germany and on the Future of the Bundeswehr published in 1995, it was recommended that the main structure of the organization include a Prevention Force. Since the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) is changing to the NATO GS System with nine staff elements, it may be a good idea to follow the example of NATO countries like Germany. It might also be a good idea to first have a major South African university conduct carefully documented IDT trials, using this information to persuade those with reservations due to lack of knowledge and exposure to IDT. This could also be used to tailor South Africa's own Prevention Force to unique South African conditions.
The mission of the SANDF Prevention Force will be to apply the techniques of IDT in daily meditation sessions to prevent enemies from arising against the country. The IDT infrastructure in South Africa is already well-enough established to facilitate the effective training and guiding of such a force. Two of the main role-players in South Africa are:
- Nigel Kahn, Director of Communication, Invincible South Africa.
- Kolbe Anema, National Director for Invincible Defence for the Global Country of World Peace, South Africa.
The Prevention Force can be recruited from all corps in the SANDF and could be placed under the command of one corps like the Intelligence Corps or the South Africa Military Health Service (SAMHS). Such a force would need a permanent base with its own facilities and identity. Since it may not be viable to have members of this unit simply meditate two to four times a day they may be given a secondary function like communications (GS6) or civil-military relations (GS9).
The Prevention Force will have to be carefully recruited by trained and experienced personnel to ensure selection of soldiers suitable for the role. This has already been done in Mozambique. When the civil war there ended in 1992, 16 000 personnel were trained in IDT and that mission was carried out. With the South African population of 45 million, the required size of the Prevention Force will total about 670 men and women. The IDT element will probably be kept at about that level, and the logistical support for the unit can be handled by the same members who do the meditation exercises. Even if more personnel are required, the unit size will still be about that of an average infantry battalion.
