When two or three (thousand) are gathered in My Name

This coming Sunday, September 14th 2008,
there will start an experiment in Global Oneness
combined with Quantum Physics, to lower
violence in the world.
(see http://www.theintentionexperiment.com/ )
Every day for a week, at the same time each day,
a gathering of a large number of people at once,
all over the globe, will send a huge "energy prayer-ball"
to different violent hot-spots on Earth.
The effects of this prayer-ball will be monitored by
a team of scientists and statistical experts.

What a wonderful idea! All support and praise to
Lynne McTaggart, who previously pioneered
similar experiments using Transcendental Meditation.
Christal Temple will be joining this global prayer
for peace.

The whole experiment raises interesting questions
about time and space and about what, in Quantum terms
is really outside us and what is actually inside.......

One of the healing practices of Reiki, common to
many healing disciplines, is "distance"-healing,
otherwise known by the rather disarming name of
"Absent"-healing. (If someone is praying for me,
or energetically connecting with me to support me
in a health or an emotional issue, I would much prefer
that they be "present" as they do this, even if they
are many miles away!)

Actually "distance"-healing is really "somewhere-outside
of-time-and-distance"-healing, brought back into
a third-dimensional manifestation on Earth.
Furthermore, in the quantum realms, third dimensional
realities of you/me/us/them/it/out-there/inside-me
are absent, the observer being the cause of the effect
being "observed", and not an "outsider" at all!
Which makes Lynne McT's experiment even more interesting
than it seems at first glance!
If we go one stage further, and accept the deeper teachings
of the Hawaiian Kahunas called Ho'oponopono, we discover
that all the violence in the world is "merely" a macro-mirror
of what is going on "inside" us in our inner micro-climate.
Joe Vitale tells a wonderful story about his conversations with
Dr. Ihaleakala Hew Len and how a mental institution cured(!)
its inmates with Dr Len's help without Dr Len ever seeing
any of the patients! (see this blog.)

So, in theory, we could do Lynne McT's experiment without
- going on the internet and registering
- knowing which "violent hotspot" is targeted each day
- keeping to the appointed time each day
and by doing the Ho'oponopono process whenever we feel
angry or annoyed or frustrated at anybody or anything ..
(which in my case is several times a day!)
I'm not suggesting that we ignore the Intention Experiment -
I think it's a wonderful down-to-Earth spiritual practice to
stop everything for 10 minutes a day and pray for World Peace.
And I hope those of us who join this prayer-chain will continue
long after the experiment is over.
What I am saying, is that our own power to exact change is
not dependent upon thousands of other people outside of us -
we ourselves are the change we wish to see in the world.
Which means I can't blame anyone else any more.
(And that sucks!)

Yeshua put it so well when he said
"When two or three are gathered in My name,
I am there among you......" meaning
that the Inner Kingdom of Go(o)dness can start to manifest
when we are as few as two or three.
In fact, I would venture to say, when we are as few as
one.

Me. (or You.)
As the shamans say, I (you) just have to show up!

That Unitarian song keeps coming round ..

Let there be Peace on Earth
and let it begin with me!

Blessings on Lynne McT and her team
and on all our own prayers

PS Christal Temple will be holding celebrations on
Sunday 14th September
and
Monday 22nd September*
at which we will pray for this experiment,
and for peace in the world and within ourselves.
We welcome all to join us in Spirit on the inner planes.
(* the 22nd September celebration date is preliminary.)
