I propose that we do a meditation similar to the Intention Experiment. They are asking people to meditate on peace everyday this week for a specific target, Sri Lanka. They choose it because it's a small contained area that can be measured over a short time.

Every day at 9AM Pacific time people meditate for 10 min. It's very nice to do, actually.

I've looked into this quite a bit and have found that Iran has no nuclear weapons but they do have biologicals. Russia is in the gulf and in Iran and they have some nasty muke tipped missles called sunburn, all pointed at Israel. They are planted all over Iran and Syria as well. There is nothing to stop retaliation by Iran or Russia and no reason for them to completely hold back if attacked.

A large number of meditation groups and prayer groups have gone to violent areas and spent a week/month and seen a significant drop in crime and violence - as much as 40%. They also found that the higher the number of meditators/prayers, the better the results. The more, the merrier! If I can find the info, I'll post it.

They way that was found to be most effective is simply to find peace within ones self and let it flow and move to affected areas. Or hold the intention of peaceful resolution to conflict. It needs to be positive rather than negative like, "please don't let this war happen" or "end the violence".

Would anyone be interested in doing this for the next 2 weeks or so? We can pick 3 times during the day that will make it easy for people in all time zones. You pick the one that is good for you and meditate on peace between the white house, Israel, and Iran since that is where it's coming from.

That turned into a shield in more modern times, but people had been so used to the idea of religion, that religion itself because more modern and powerful as well. I am all for spirituality, but I am not completely convinced that in our current time, we have the combined mind energy to influence a few hundred thousand - million bombs thousands of miles from here. I am a very logical person, and would like some scientific proof that this can be done, since some of you have claimed that such proof has already been given.
