This book is on my beside table in a stack of other books that I want to read sometime soon.
Until then, I was excited to sign up for the Peace Intention Experiment that will be conducted by Lynne McTaggart on September 14th. For those of you, like me, who believe that prayer, intention and thought are invisible but powerful forces in the world, it's a chance to try and prove it.
The website says:
September 14, 2008 will see the first in a series of Peace Intention Experiments testing the power of group intention to lower violence in areas around the world.
This could be the largest scientific study in history, with hundreds of thousands of participants sending an intention for peace under highly controlled scientific conditions.
Lynne McTaggart, author of The Intention Experiment, has assembled a scientific advisory body of leaders in consciousness research, to devise a strict protocol and measure violence levels before and after the intention is sent to see if there is any effect.
Imagine thousands of us intending peace at the same time. We are not going to be taking any action, just consciously being a certain way at a certain time, together. And the magnitude of that focused intention may alleviate violence around the world. Even if you're skeptical, isn't it worth trying?
