Peace Intention

Judging from what we learned from the last post about the Global Consciousness Project, the Peace Intention experiment, also spearheaded by a “What the Bleep” interviewee, should prove to be a viable and noteworthy research project.

It’s going on now, and each day at a specific time you log in for ten minutes only, to focus positive intention on a war-torn area. Lynne McTaggart from “What the Bleep” is leading this experiment and will show us by comparing violence statistics from before and after if we were able to reduce violent crimes by ten percent, simply by our intention.

“How could my intention here affect those people in that war-torn area?” my husband wondered. He said, “but they can’t see us or hear the meditation! What good could it do?”

Deeply religious people throughout the centuries have believed in the power of prayer, but only now is the mainstream scientific community able to have a platform where the funding is available for experiments of this type. Scientific paradigm is shifting, and more attention is being placed on practical applications for the lessons learned from quantum mechanics. Why not? Why not try to see if we can reduce violence by our intention? Is it futile? Our random number generator experiment shows intention may not be the most steadfast and efficient way to reduce violence, but it can be done. Statistically speaking, there is a good chance that there will be less violence committed this week. Do you want to save a life? Do you want to live with a purpose? Try it.

Try it now. We’re mid-way through the experiment. Their servers will count how many people log in to do the ten minute meditation each day, and her team will get data from that war-torn area about violent acts committed.

    Another interesting experiment Jessica. I think that it is worth a try. Sometimes we try to make life more complex than it needs to be. Can you imagine the impact on the world if we were to realise that we could reduce violent crimes in the world by mass meditation and intention?

    Very thought provoking.

    Thank you Carol. Yes, it is thought provoking. I missed the first two days of the meditation, but I’ll try to be online at the scheduled time for the rest of the week.

    To all: I wonder if the theory is proved, and violence is reduced by 10%, will that be enough to convince anyone that their intentions count?

    We’re not trying to prove that all our thoughts come true. That would be absurd. We’re trying to prove that if a large group of people focus their intention on an outcome, they can influence that outcome.

    I wish I had visited your site earlier in the week. I would love to participate in the experiment.

    Jessica,I am going to the site now and see if my time will be useful.

    Thanks for this world changing post.

    It’s okay, it runs every day until this Sunday. You can jump in anytime. There are lots of interesting discussions going on at the forum.

    The fact that we can manipulate reality with our thoughts is something I fermly believe. If you ask me how, I try to imagine some possible ways with open answers and you know this as you read my blog. Apart the results of the experiment, I find wonderful that a large group of people decided to have the same positive intent, so noble. We really need to focus more on these things if we want a better place for our children.

    Elio:
    If you haven’t heard of Fire the Grid, check it out here:

    Last year a single woman organized this worldwide meditation event to heal the Earth and make it a better place for our children. She was prompted to do this by some spirit guides, and she was very reluctant at first. I am still amazed at how the universe provided for her, so the meditation could get press, a web site, people to organize it, and so on.

    Hi Jessica,

    This ties in with my post on Pranic Healing, which also uses group meditation to help heal. I think it’s an amazing concept. We hear how much we can change our destinies just by the power of thought. Imagine all of our thoughts combined!! Miracles can happen!

    BTW-I finally figured out how to let readers know when I responded to their comments. Thanks to Carol who gave me some info.

    CureDepression: Do you mean the video you posted on Pranic Healing with the holding of the ears and deep knee bends? I saw that one.

    Yes, imagine if all of our thoughts combined were focused on positive change for a part of the Earth! It takes our thoughts off ourselves for a little bit! :)
