THE
COSTANZA
PEACE
INITIATIVE
In 1991 Jason Alexander, George Costanza on T.V.'s Seinfeld, visited Israel for the very first time. It transformed his life... as he put it: "Jew was stamped all over me, but I had not really pursued any sort of Jewish cultural or spiritual activity before. I went on that trip and really was reawakened to identify and what not." How profound! How what not! Jason Alexander came to Israel to do what no one in recorded human history has ever done, namely, tame the primitive Arab beast and persuade the Jews of Israel that Jihad is really Arabic for I Love You. As Jason/George set out on his peace-making adventure, he modestly stated, "I'm not a politician, I don't run a country, I'm not a student and I'm not a journalist." You're also not in the least bit qualified to be anything other than a useful idiot for those determined to wipe Israel off the face of the earth! He continued, "I'm a storyteller and I make people laugh." So too do hallucinators tell stories and clowns make people laugh. So just what's going on here? How did this well-meaning Hollywood celebrity, albeit no-nothing Jew, suddenly end up in Ramallah, a cesspool more renown for disemboweling Jews? It appears that George heard a voice, just one voice and it came from OneVoice. OneVoice is the creation of the PeaceWorks Foundation. According to its own description, "PeaceWorks fosters coexistence through business. We unite peoples traditionally on the opposite sides of conflict via a shared goal. The Result? An exciting range of all-natural, gourmet foods AND a shared vision of the future." And OneVoice wants to be a vehicle to that end through empowering the moderate majority of Palestinians and Israelis to come up with a viable and acceptable mandate for co-existence (while munching on Chanterelle Fricassee, perhaps?). But surely good food among so-called "moderates" cannot a durable peace treaty make.
The real driving forces behind the OneVoice Initiative are David Leffler and the Vedic Maharishi scholar, Mahesh Yogi! David Leffler is the executive director of OneVoice-Israel. He is also a proponent of Invincible Defense Technology: Here is his description of Invincible Defense Technology... The technology of peace is prevention-orientated, life-supporting, nourishing and non-destructive. Invincible Defense Technology is being vigorously and successfully revived as a powerful tool for conflict resolution and prevention by renowned scientists worldwide under the guidance of physicist and Vedic scholar, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. If mighty armies cannot win against terrorists and violence and crime cannot be eradicated from our society, then why do governments continue to use the instrument of war to get peace? The reason is quite simple - they have not identified and addressed the factors that lead to crime, violence, terrorism, war and all negative tendencies. According to Vedic literature, the root cause of these negative tendencies is the accumulated social stress in the society. Therefore, governments do not need weapons and large armed forces to reduce the levels of stress of individuals and society as a whole. The Vedic solution to reduce individual and collective stress is to increase coherence and harmony through the regular practice of Transcendental Meditation (TM) program. The technique is practiced for 15 to 20 minutes twice daily, sitting comfortably with eyes closed. It is simple, natural, effortless and easy to learn. It can be learned in five days with a 1½ hour contact period each day under the guidance of an expert teacher. The answer to terrorism is the Vedic Technology of the Transcendentalism (TM) Meditation technique and its advanced practice of the TM-Sidhi program, including Yogic Flying, in which the body involuntarily hops upward and moves forward when mind-body coordination is optimum and brain coherence is on the peak. The TM and TM-Sidhi programs increase coherence and harmony in the environment and reduce social stress in society. The larger the number of participants, the greater the intensity and range of coherence that is radiated to the society and environment. In group practice, each meditating individual becomes a transmitter of orderliness and peace in society. This process is analogous to the way a television or radio transmitter enlivens the electromagnetic field in specific manner and then transmits waves through the field - waves that can be picked up at a distance. These coherent signals generate peaceful gestures even amongst bitter enemies. These coherent signals could be called by many names, 'Pulses of Coherence," "Signals of Good Will, " "Signals of Harmony," "Signals of Peace" and so on. (Or, maybe as Jason Alexander would say, "Signals of What Not") This positive effect in society has been named the "Maharishi Effect." And the practical approach, known as Invincible Defense Technology, applies cutting edge quantum mechanics, neuroscience and human consciousness to diffuse stress, effectively disarm the aggressor. It targets at the root cause of violence - acute stress resulting from religious and ethnic tension. YIKES!!! Does that sound like Michael Lerner's "The Politics of Meaning" on steroids, or what! But we shouldn't be surprised since Lerner's flaky Tikkun magazine has already published some of Leffler's "Consciousness-Based Defense" babble. This brings us right back to Jason Alexander / George Costanza and the "bee" that got under HIS "bonnet." Has this little Jew boy become somewhat of a crypto-Zen Buddhist? Does he really think a primitive, barbaric Arab "Palestinian" culture that encourages, perpetrates and relishes the murder of Jewish children will jump at the chance to shoot the s**t with some fat little Hollywood Jew? Is he nuts! They'll correctly size him up as yet another naive, self-indulging, egotistical "Progressive" Jew feasting on his own self-importance. In any case, we at Masada2000.org prefer the fat little George Costanza who at least recognizes his own limitations!
