Summary (excerpt):
This article is a moving tribute to the life and work of Dr Dillbeck by his friend and colleague Dr David Orme-Johnson and covers three main phases of Dr Dillbeck’s output: 1) an extensive record of published research on Maharishi’s Transcendental Meditation and TM-Sidhi program; 2) a similarly extensive record of publishing research on the Maharishi Effect, including the first study on this phenomenon and then a series of important subsequent studies; and 3) finally as a Raja in the Global Country of World Peace, with responsibility for the welfare of many countries, including France.
