Training Schedule & Roster
Here is the proposed training schedule and roster for the SA Peace Project.
The training takes about 18 months. You will be practising the Transcendental Mediation technique together for 20 minutes, twice a day from Day One.
| Step | When | Activity | Goal |
| Step 1: Foundation | Month 1 | Learn The Transcendental Meditation (TM) Technique (7-step course). | Establish the “Restful Alertness” baseline. |
| Step 2: Stabilization | Months 2–3 | Regular practice of TM (twice daily). | Build physiological stability. |
| Step 3: Advanced Technique I | Month 4 | Instruction in 1st Advanced Technique. | Deepen the experience of Transcendental Consciousness. |
| Step 4: Integration I | Months 5–6 | Regular practice of TM + Advanced Technique (twice daily). | Stabilize the nervous system. |
| Step 5: Advanced Technique II | Month 7 | Instruction in 2nd Advanced Technique. | Increase Brain Wave Coherence. |
| Step 6: Integration II | Months 8–9 | Regular practice of TM + 2 Advanced Techniques (twice daily). | Stabilize the nervous system. |
| Step 7: Advanced Technique III | Month 10 | Instruction in 3rd Advanced Technique. | Refine perception and cognitive clarity. |
| Step 8: Integration III | Months 11–12 | Regular practice of TM + 3 Advanced Techniques (twice daily). | Stabilize the nervous system. |
| Step 9: Advanced Technique IV | Month 13 | Instruction in 4th Advanced Technique. | Refine perception and cognitive clarity. |
| Step 10: Integration IV | Months 14–15 | Regular practice of TM + 4 Advanced Techniques (twice daily). Application for TM-Sidhis Program, Teacher Review, Weekend Retreat. | Final preparation for the Sidhis program. |
| Step 11: TM-Sidhis | Months 16–18 | Phase 1 (Part-Time): Three weekends of instruction and practice, often spread out over several weeks. | Instruction in Patanjali’s formulas. |
| Step 12: Yogic Flying | Final 2 Weeks | Phase 2 (Full-Time):Final two-week in-residence block. Instruction in the “Yogic Flying” technique | Achievement of the “Coherence Spike.” |
1. The “Silent” Step (Months 1–17)
During this period, the 280 practitioners will experience significant personal benefits (reduced stress, better health, higher IQ), but the South Australian social parameters will remain largely unchanged.
- Individual Coherence: High.
- Social Field Impact: Negligible.
- The Risk: Stakeholders might question the investment during this phase. It is important to understand that this period of training is “infrastructure development” for the collective consciousness.
2. The “Go-Live” Window (Month 17 + 2 Weeks)
The transition occurs during the Step 12: Yogic Flying residency. This is the stage at which the group generates the coherence effect.
3. Predicted “Lag Time” for Results
Once the 280 practitioners begin their permanent, 7-day-a-week group practice after the residency, research from demonstration projects (such as the 1993 Washington D.C. project) suggests the following timeline for measurable changes in SA:
| Weeks Post-Training | Expected Social Shift | Data Source |
| Weeks 1–2 | The “Social Cooling” Effect: A subjective feeling of increased calm in the city. Reduced “road rage” and minor public altercations. | Anecdotal / Police Dispatch Logs |
| Weeks 3–6 | Statistical Drop in Violent Crime: Homicides, rapes, and aggravated assaults typically show the first measurable decline. | SAPOL Weekly Statistics |
| Months 2–3 | Health & Traffic Impact: A decrease in emergency room admissions for stress-related events and a drop in multi-vehicle traffic accidents. | SA Department of Health |
| Months 6+ | Economic Indicators: Improvement in consumer confidence and a potential uptick in regional GDP growth. | Economic Data / Retail Sales |
4. Why the 7-Day Model is Mandatory
Because we are aiming for a Public Utility effect, consistency is everything.
- The “Meissner Effect” in Society: Just as a superconductor must stay cold 24/7 to maintain its field, the group must practice daily. If the group stops on weekends, the social stress begins to re-accumulate immediately.
- Weekend Spikes: Most violent crime and alcohol-related trauma occur on Friday and Saturday nights. Having the group practise together on Saturday and Sunday mornings pre-emptively lowers the collective stress before those peak crime windows.
2. The Technical Necessity of the 18-Month Lead Time
The transition from a regular meditator to a “Professional Coherence Creator” requires a step-by-step physiological refinement.
- Months 1–13 (Stabilization): We are “upgrading the hardware” of the individual nervous systems. Without this baseline stability, the advanced Sidhi techniques would not produce the high-amplitude brainwave coherence required for the social field effect.
- Months 14–18 (Activation): This is the final integration. The TM-Sidhi program teaches the mind to function from the level of Transcendental Consciousness, turning the individual into a broadcasting unit of coherence.
3. Why the Field Effect requires Completion
We rely on the square root of 1% (√1%) of the population formula.
For South Australia (1.8 million people), the threshold is approximately 134 practitioners.
- Impact Level: Until they reach the final phase, Step 12, the coherence output of the team is not measurable.
- Post-Residency Status: Once trained, their impact becomes exponential; this will be the “Step Transition” required to lower state-wide crime and stress statistics.
4. The Safety Factor
Although 134 fully-trained team members will create a measurable effect, we propose propose a team size of 200 practitioners rostered on for each session.
This will ensure that a substantial level of coherence is generated twice a day, seven days a week, taking into account the likelihood of absences from the team.
Our projected team size of 280 allows for 180 people to be present every day of the week, ensuring the “Peace Generator” never stops.
5. The “Steel-Grade” 200-Active Resilience Model
Utilizing a 280-person pool divided into 7 teams of 40, we roster 5 teams daily to maintain 200 practitioners per session. This provides a Factor of Safety (FoS) of 1.5—consistent with structural steel engineering—ensuring the “Field Effect” remains unbroken even if up to 33% of the rostered group is absent, all while maintaining a standard 5-day work week.
| Team (40 people) | Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun |
| Team 1 | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF | OFF |
| Team 2 | OFF | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF |
| Team 3 | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | ON | ON | ON |
| Team 4 | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | ON | ON |
| Team 5 | ON | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | ON | ON |
| Team 6 | ON | ON | ON | OFF | OFF | ON | ON |
| Team 7 | ON | ON | ON | ON | OFF | OFF | ON |
3. Daily Attendance Breakdown
Under this 5-days-on/2-days-off professional model:
- Every Day: Exactly 5 Teams are “ON” and 2 Teams are “OFF.”
- Daily Count: 5 teams X 40 avg. people ≈ 200 people present.
- The Buffer: This provides a consistent group above the 134-person minimum requirement every single day.
4. Operational Logistics
To ensure the “Public Utility” effect is seamless, the schedule is fixed:
- Morning Session: 7:00 AM – 9.00 AM
- Afternoon Session: 4.30 PM – 6:50 PM
- Mid-Day: Practitioners are free.
Strategic Summary
We cannot promise state-wide results during the 18-month training.
The day the team returns from their final 2-week residency is “Day 0” for South Australia’s social transformation.
