This is a friendly reminder that the Synchronized Mass Meditation/Prayer for Arrests of DC Pedophiles: Saturday Feb. 25, 11:11am, is tomorrow.
521 2017-02-24 by Loud_Volume
Here is the copy/paste
I am organizing a synchronized mass meditation/prayer for the mass arrests of the DC pedophiles (see pizagate). This will happen on Saturday February 25th 11:11am - 11:33am (22 minutes) EST (16:11 UTC). Visualize the criminals being arrested leading to fair and public trials. The intention should not be for revenge but for saving the children and the healing of humanity.
If you are unsure about what effect this can have please read about the science that proves the power of the mind:
https://sitsshow.blogspot.de/2014/09/scientific-evidence-for-telepathy-that.html
and especially the effect of mass meditations (also known as Maharishi effect):
http://www.worldpeacegroup.org/washington_crime_prevention_full_article.html
Please spread this message!
Edit: Below is some additional information on this.
http://in5d.com/proof-that-group-meditation-can-change-the-world/
Meditation has the potential to literally transform the world. In 1978, what is known as the “Maharishi Effect” took place when a group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes of positively effecting the surrounding city. They were able to literally transform the collective energy of the city which reduced global crime rates, violence, and casualties during the times of their meditation by an average of 16%. Suicide rates and automobile accidents also were reduced with all variables accounted for. In fact, there was a 72% reduction in terrorist activity during the times at which this group was meditation.
Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming the benefits of global meditation and it’s direct impact on everything in the world, even so far as to have the results published in the Journal of Crime and Justice in 1981. We know meditation has endless health and psychological benefits, but it is now being explored by politics and sociology because of its undeniable energetic impact.
Here is a website developed for this purpose. http://www.meditatechange.net
Here is a thread devoted to a compilation of evidence and studies done on the effect of group meditation on the collective consciousness. Some great resources, articles, and pics here. http://awakeningforums.com/thread/254/studies-collective-benefit-group-meditation

Why David Seaman? Are you planning on using both magic and attention whores?
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
The more the message can be spread, the more that can participate, the better the effect, and power.
I merely copy pasted the original thread and that bit was included. I went ahead and removed it from the main section and just left the original message up.

The collective benefits of group meditation have been researched and verified by over 50 studies.
We are all linked together wether you believe it or not.
This has been well proven and well documented.
Also look into the collective unconsciousness or even the akashic records. It ties into all of this. Or you can be negative about it. :)

Russel Targ's banned TED talk discusses his experiments in esp abilities with the CIA over 26 recorded years of studies. The other "banned Ted talks" are similar like Rupert sheldrake's breakdown of the current scientific dogmas holding us back from further understanding the universe.
Targ's https://youtu.be/hBl0cwyn5GY Sheldrake's https://youtu.be/JKHUaNAxsTg
n/a usrn 2017-02-24
Your definition of well documented is a lot different than mine.
n/a snowmandan 2017-02-24
The CIA literally released 15 million documents detailing the experiments like a month ago.
n/a usrn 2017-02-24
Are you referring to the bullshit psychic remote mars crap?
n/a snowmandan 2017-02-24
There was a lot more than that pretty unbelievable story. There is enough to prove causation in many cases. Watch the videos I linked if you actually want to know something about the topic.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Hi! I watched them. Thanks for linking. I haven't gotten to listen to the ramblings of madmen all that often since I moved away from the city and thus don't encounter screaming homeless people anymore.
n/a snowmandan 2017-02-24
Can't tell which side of what you're saying is sarcasm, but there's a lot more on the subject, and even support from physicists if you do some research.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
I did some research and found out that nobody actually did real research.
n/a snowmandan 2017-02-24
Oh okay sorry you feel that way. Are you studied in quantum physics at all? Go to r/holofractal.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Theories like string, holographic universe, etc, are at the absolute fringe of theoretical physics. There's a hell of a lot of math to support any given theory, but most of them are incompatible. So what do you do when you have 14 different theories to combine classical (big) and quantum (little) physics, all with equally strong math but no experimental evidence? You wait for technology to catch up and build big goddamn atom smashers to gather data.
TLDR you're in speculation territory.
n/a snowmandan 2017-02-24
Have you even studied physics? Scrödinger, the founder of quantum mechanics, said himself that "the total minds in the universe is one". The math and experiments have shown that particles are waves and waves are particles. It's all projected energy. Electrons are waves. Matter is excited, spinning packets of energy and that's proven. Empty space if full of an infinite energy, and that's proven. We already have big goddamn atom smashers that have detected a lot of this. You may want to catch up to the technology.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Schrodinger also believed he had proven the existence of god. Brilliant scientist, but there's no science to back his philosophies (that god exists, any of the consciousness stuff.)
Well, or strings. Lots of math to support point-particle, wave, string, etc.
Electrons exhibit probability-wave behaviors.
Has not been "proven." Not even popularly accepted.
Speculated, theorized, many strong oppositional theories.
We've detected none of this. We've gathered data and theorized upon it.
This sentence is meaningless.
n/a Ieuan1996 2017-02-24
Another Rupert Sheldrake lecture: the extended mind https://youtu.be/JnA8GUtXpXY
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Sheldrake is not a scientist.
n/a Ieuan1996 2017-02-24
You don't need a PhD to do "science". All science is is experimentation and documentation of the method and results. He has used the scientific method in his research to show there is significance to the idea that the mind can influence "external" factors. (I put external in speech marks because in my opinion [belief maybe?] everything is connected [shoutout /r/holofractal] so getting technical about it there is no "external")
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
How about this: nobody can be able to replicate Sheldrake's experiments because they are constructed in a way to be immune to criticism. He doesn't do science. He's not a scientist.
n/a Ieuan1996 2017-02-24
I'm not saying he's a scientist. So you don't need to keep repeating that. I don't think you need scientists to say something before you decide to agree with it. Qualifications are certainly useful, but they're certainly not absolute. Sheldrake is a competent individual who's spent years researching material in regards to the nature of consciousness. From my own experience in life so far, and from reading and listening to Sheldrake, personally I can completely get behind his propositions.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Arguable.
We disagree on the definition of research.
If it's not science, you can't say it's truth, or real.

n/a Ragark 2017-02-24
Nicholas cage does make me weak in the legs...
n/a the_mighty_skeetadon 2017-02-24
That "study" has about as much credibility as a pile of dog shit. You mean a group of people whose livelihoods depend on people believing their bullshit can make up numbers that confirm their bullshit works?
I read the entire study, and they clearly change their hypothesis in testing and conclusion. They predicted drops in crime -- not just violent crime -- but then dialed that back to just violent crime. And then they excluded robberies. So if I slice and dice the type of crime that HAPPENS to have a significant decrease during the measurement period, I can probably find an effect.
For example, they could say "25% property crime reduction" and restrict it to stolen cars and embezzlement, but it doesn't mean anything.
Unfortunately, I can't find detailed data on 1993 crime in DC, but in fact 1993 was the WORST year for violent crime in DC's history. How, exactly, does the overall trend massively increase when one of the most-violent months had such a reduction in crime?
It doesn't add up. If this effect were real, why wouldn't cities just hire a few hundred meditators at a fraction of the cost vs. law enforcement? This doesn't pass the sniff test.

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Those "studies" are not evidence.

A placebo effect effecting other people that didn't meditate?
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Meditation can have positive individual effect, I never argued otherwise. Unlike mass meditation, this has been backed by research, with nice hard evidence like MRIs.
Science doesn't work like what you're suggesting - I don't have to prove you're wrong, you have to prove you're right.
I know what I know because a dragon in my room only tells me true things. You can't prove my dragon doesn't exist therefore you must be wrong.

Literally none of those prove causation. It's simple correlation, there are a million and one other variables that could result in the same outcome.
Not to mention none of those articles were about meditation to prevent specific crimes. So where did you make that leap from? It's like some people ready any old article and then take it 5 steps further to fill their beliefs.
I don't doubt the positive effects meditation can have on an individual but "busting a high level pedo ring" is not one of them.

A lot of people never have an urge to hurt children, or anyone really. And they don't feel like they lack free will because of it. God could have just created the world so that no one felt urges to hurt children. In that case, no one would feel like they were lacking in the freedom to hurt children because they would simply never have the urge or desire to hurt children.
n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Humans keep humans accountable. Nothing else.
Free will very well might not exist, though we have the illusion of it. I.e., if you could accurately simulate the trajectory of every electron after the big bang, you might be able to demonstrate that all of time is preordained by the event.
Irrelevant right now because the illusion, or reality, of free will is such that we are responsible for our actions.
And fucking mass prayer doesn't do shit to stop anything so it's not 'taking responsibility'.

While I can appreciate solipsism and, to some degree, associate myself with it and skepticism toward existence itself, I think that's it's pretty clear that those lines of thinking are most likely false. It's definitely a possibility that God exists, but there's honestly no reason to think that other than because people in the past said so. God is explained as a bridge for people of earlier eras to fill in frustrating gaps in their understanding, ie: "I don't understand lightning, it's probably some angry celestial being". Then that line of thinking just kept getting expanded into the huge network of ideas that it became today. That seems like a more logical solution. It can't prove anything, but it's a more likely scenario with regards to lining up with what we can observe.
I can't really speak to life being a simulation, except that it's probably a byproduct of obsession with technology and active imaginations. It just doesn't have enough evidence to be worthy of considering. For example, how do you know that the sewer system isn't actually a magical black hole that all of our water pours into? Have you followed something that you flushed all the way to the end of the pipe? Even if you did, how do you know that what you saw wasn't a decoy pipe to keep you from learning the truth?
I like to engage in conspiracy theories as a mental activity but even when dealing with the unlikely or the macabre, it doesn't make sense to probe deeply into or put much faith into any theory that doesn't have at least some piece of it grounded in observable realty.

And God doesn't allow children to be raped. He gave us free will to experience life and for our immortal souls to evolve or devolve our choice. That's a wondrous gift but also a dangerous one as many choose to use their free will to harm others and deprive them of theirs.
If He didn't give us free will I never would have been abused as a child but I also never would have had the good experiences either. And the contrast of that horror vs joy would never have been as profound as it is.
Without free will we are just slaves. Freedom does have a price.

Done correctly and in a way that doesn't hurt you - you meditate and pray for positivity. Saving kids, righting wrongs, healing families is all positive spin on what you said. Ultimately what you said might happen too, but to wish it might not be your ideal tact. :)
n/a TheGawdDamnBatman 2017-02-24
As /u/no1113 pointed out:
Don't meditate for harm to come upon others. Doing so against even those that might deserve it (like pedophiles, for example) still is projecting negative energy upon another. You're literally meditating for negative energy to be put upon another when you do that and it makes you a beacon of darkness as you channel negative, dark energy through you when you think harmful thoughts upon another. This bounces the energy right back to you yourself and in the end creates more harm than good.
What should be done instead is to meditate toward the empowering of those who are harmed by the pedophiles. In other words, don't meditate for harm to come on to others. Meditate instead for strength to come upon those who need it the most in order to fend off anyone who might try to harm them. Uplift and strengthen everyone who stands to be a victim. Meditate toward giving light and power to everyone who might be harmed by pedophilia and its perpetrators. Meditate to empower all people, groups, etc, that have the ability to shut down pedophiles. Meditate to give them the power and the strength and the courage to do their jobs and capture and turn in and imprison all pedophiles and people engaged in such activity. Meditate to give communities aware of these things the power to stand up and put and end to this. Meditate to give all of us the power to stand up and put an end to this.
In the end, you achieve the same effect of shutting down the darkness, but you do it by empowering the light against it, and you don't end up bringing in the darkness into your own sphere by wishing negativity and harm upon another.

If both God and pizzagate are real, then PG only exists because God wants it to. Given this and everything I've ever heard about the guy, I struggle to see what exactly makes him worth worshiping.
When I was growing, I had a friend whose little sister died of cancer aged 3. The people at her funeral talking about how God was watching over her now killed my religion - where was 'He' when that kid was suffering?
Motivation via fear of eternal damnation just isn't enough, if anything it makes me want to go the other way.

n/a DawnPendraig 2017-02-24
He gave us free will so we can experience life and grow. And death as well.
Otherwise we are slaves.
I am sorry that your friend lost his sister and that it shattered your faith. It's hard as a kid to understand free will especially when adults seem to expect God to control things.
I believe He can work miracles through us but only when we give Him our faith and put ourselves in His hands. And of course we cannot expect to have Him enslave evil doers. They have free will also.
Think of it like a parent of children. We could enslave them at home and never let them out in danger and also never experience the joys of life. The good and the bad.
n/a FunkyFoamyFacko 2017-02-24
Our existence here is short and a test of if we will use our free will to love God or love ourselves. The end goal is that God have people to love and them to love God. Everything that happens is playing out towards that end goal and although people will do terrible things to each other, in the end they can be saved and comforted. Man is allowed to do what he pleases and it is God who will correct things after we all leave time and enter eternity.

Religions =/= god and spirituality.
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
When was the last time mankind was not dark? Has God performed any miracles since then?
If so, then mankind's darkness does not account for His inaction.
If not, exactly how fluid is mankind's darkness, historically?
n/a SuperPoop 2017-02-24
I don't know
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
Ok. How about this: Name one miracle that God performed in the last 2500 years; I will not dispute it.
n/a SuperPoop 2017-02-24
He sent his son to die for your sins. No more miracles needed after that.
Except I see miracles everyday. I consider life a miracle.
A bit drunk now so you'll have to excuse the cockiness
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
Was mankind dark at-the-time-of or prior-to these miracles you've cited?
n/a SuperPoop 2017-02-24
Yes. We are imperfect
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
So, God performs miracles even during and following times in which mankind is dark.
Therefore the answer "mankind is dark" does not answer the question, "if your God could [ perform a given miracle ], why hasn't he?"
For instance, suppose we're stopped at an intersection. The traffic light turns green, but I don't accelerate. You ask, "why aren't you going?". I respond, "because the engine is running".
The engine is running when I don't respond to the traffic light. The engine is running when I do, by driving through the intersection. The engine being on does not explain my inaction.
Mankind is dark when God doesn't perform miracles. Mankind is dark when God does perform miracles. Mankind being dark does not explain God's inaction.
n/a SuperPoop 2017-02-24
You know what? Your logic is flawless. I've renounced my faith because of it. You've converted a believer to a non-believer. Nice work.
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
It does not follow that you must renounce your faith just because your answer to one religious question didn't seem to make sense.
So, playing along, if that's all it took to shake you so thoroughly, I can't really take credit for your profound lack of conviction.
Not playing along, however, it's disingenuous of you to jump at the opportunity to get on your high horse about having rational conversation and then short circuit our exchange with sarcastic deflection.
n/a SuperPoop 2017-02-24
I get you. Mentioning that you're Christian on Reddit leads to a berating for 4 or 5 days where you just get worn out. You have come at the tail end of everything and I just don't feel like talking about it anymore.
The only point that I was trying to make is that when someone is labeled Christian by a non-believer, they're attributed qualities that not every believer has. We're not all nutso. I know people have had negative experiences with religion, but in my life it offers nothing but joy and hope.
Silly hypotheticals to help me find inconsistencies in my faith is everything I've been dealing with in the last 4 days. I'm just done defending.
n/a Harribold 2017-02-24
I'm not so sure you do. First treating me as though I'm trying to de-convert you, and then this post bringing up a whole array of things that don't seem to pertain to our exchange at all.
You cited miracles you see every day. These are not hypothetical.
You cited Jesus's sacrifice. This is not hypothetical.
You posed that God doesn't stop child rape because "mankind is dark". While this is hypothetical, it's not silly. It's the corollary to your decision to pray to stop child rapists, which seems a very serious matter to you.
I wasn't berating you. I was walking you through the flaw I saw in your reasoning.
If you think that's an inconsistency in your faith, as oppose to your reasoning or your expression thereof, that's on you.
No it wasn't. And the only point of yours I was calling into question, before you went hostile, was the relationship you posed between miracles and mankind's darkness.
And I asked you specific questions to avoid doing just that.
I haven't disputed that.
I didn't call into question your faith, so it's not your faith that I prompted you to defend.
I didn't attribute to you beliefs you don't have, so it's not your canon that I prompted you to defend.
I didn't berate you, so it's not your worth that I prompted you to defend.
I didn't label you anything, so it's not your label that I prompted you to defend.
I didn't pose that you're nutso, so it wasn't your sanity that I prompted you to defend.
I didn't pose that the religious experience is negative, so it wasn't your experience that I prompted you to defend.
I called into question the idea that God does not stop certain evils because mankind is dark. Important to note, I did not call into question God, miracles, or the fact that mankind is dark - only a very specific relationship you posed between them.
n/a ocdscale 2017-02-24
God's inclination to perform miracles is inversely correlated with mankind's ability to accurately record them.
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
How can anyone know what God says/thinks/commands?
It's almost like the bible is an outdated story.
God created us, and gave us free will. If he didn't want us to have free will and rape people and kids he wouldn't have created us or given us free will. You act like it's not mankinds responsibility to be aware of his actions. Why should God prevent rape when mankind is the one that is instigating it?

We all have free will. Free will is a universal law of the universe, and we all have it
n/a TwoWayForward 2017-02-24
Again, if we all have free will then how will you meditating change my actions?
Spoiler: it won't.
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24

How will meditating change your actions? What do you mean. Explain yourself a little better because I'm lost as to what you're trying to say
n/a TwoWayForward 2017-02-24
You believe a large group of people meditating will somehow stop a pedo ring.
Implying that the meditation will somehow cause a change that would result in a different outcome than if no meditation had been done. If there is free will how could any meditation affect the outcomes of people's decisions?
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
Ah I see what you mean now. Great question.
My answer would be that meditation and wishing on those outcomes is free will itself, and if you meditate and focus on that outcome, that's your free will to choose such an outcome
n/a TwoWayForward 2017-02-24
But you have no influence over it?
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
You have influence over anything you wish to, even if it is in regards to mass meditation. There are universal laws our reality is structured around, law of free will is not only one of those universal laws, but the law of attraction as well.
http://www.thelawofattraction.com/what-is-the-law-of-attraction/
n/a TwoWayForward 2017-02-24
No, you have the ability to influence yourself and others immediately around you. Me meditating will not change the thoughts of someone on the other side of the world.

Thanks to the OP for reposting this.
Working with with Mageant (the OP of the original thread) I created MeditateChange.net to coordinate this event. We have a guided meditation video going up on the page in the next few hours.
If you have Facebook please follow the event here. It will help us track numbers. Like our page and follow (see first) to keep up with upcoming news and meditations.
We need your help. If you can, please spread the word far and wide. Facebook groups, Twitter, comment sections, other reddit subs, etc. If people can reach out to David Seaman and other influential social media people that'd be amazing. I'd love to try and get David Wilcock to pick us up.

You can't use it for service to self. It can only be used for the greater good.
You can actually cast negative spells and wish harm on others, but by doing so, you open yourself up to the karma of your actions by wishing that on someone else
thus, it would be a karmic blowback in your face

The Power of Prayer
"Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven.
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops.
My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back from wandering will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

There is an apparent plan for witches to use this day to counter us. Doing some form of mass ritual ahead of the prayer. I advise we start now. You don't have to be in deep meditation or kneeling prayer for over a day but keep your heart and mind focused on the things at hand and let good overcome evil.

n/a jasno 2017-02-24
Well the topic here is "prayer and meditation", do you believe those have power? If you believe their is power in good intention, or the "light" would it not be fair to believe their could or would also be power in the "darkness"?
I am not saying I believe "witches" have power, but I certainly think it is possible some do. If you believe in certain sorts of evil doctrines like satanism, you are probably more likely to actually manifest those beliefs into actions in the real world. For instance some satanist believe their law is "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." To me that is a command to do whatever you want, where conscience and right and wrong are no where to be found. Now imagine this is your core belief system, imagine how you could do anything, and I mean anything and your "belief system" rationalizes it to being "ok" or what should be done. For instance, maybe a satanist has no real spiritual power, but if their belief system tells them, do whatever you want is our law, then maybe they could steal from you and have no conscience that it was wrong. I would not want to be neighbors with someone who has no conscience and their law is "do whatever you want."
Let me say I have no studied satanism too much, so I am just trying to give an example of how someone may not believe "witches" or anyone for that matter has some magical powers, their is also a real world power that happens when anyone starts to start to follow and sort of set of rules or beliefs.

The worst that can happen is that they waste their time and nothing happens. Unless you're a nutter and actually believe in black magic.
n/a ricola7 2017-02-24
All of us are powerful, spiritual beings with the ability to change reality. It's dangerous to dabble with "black magic" that you know nothing about. Especially if your goal is to hurt or restrict a person.
By the way, you're on a conspiracy forum where people routinely discuss aliens and lizard people. If you think a belief in black magic puts someone over the edge for being a "nutter", you may not like what you read here.
n/a robco_securitron1011 2017-02-24
We definitely are beings with the ability to change the world around us, no doubt about that. But how anyone can believe in the supernatural, especially black magic, is beyond me. We live in the modern age now. People shouldn't still believe in pseudoscience and witches. At least aliens are plausible.

I'm in! Months ago I came across a study that showed a 76℅ decrease of violence in war stricken areas where mass meditation was involved. There were a bunch of other studies as well, I'll try and find that article.
The power of the mind. Everything is vibration, what we think, say and do gives of a vibration. Love is high vibration, hate & fear are low vibration. The more we as a whole turn to love, the energy field around us starts to resonate to that. That explains this 'awakening' taking place right now, and explains the Earth's frequency rising, the Schumann Resonance. You may have feeling of something big going on, your body may feel different, your emotions. It's all a part of the planet waking up.
n/a anthrolooksee 2017-02-24
Absolutely! <3
n/a Murgie 2017-02-24
This is what Schumann resonances are.
They happen around literally anything with a large enough electromagnetic field, and have nothing to do with humans. They're not even limited to the Earth.
n/a EvanSt19 2017-02-24
We have electromagnetic fields too.
n/a Murgie 2017-02-24
Sure we do, virtually everything in existence does, it's one of the four fundamental forces/ The only things that don't have one exist on a subatomic scale. If something is made of atoms, it has at least some minute degree of an EM field.
But we don't have a closed planetary-sized spherical cavity, consisting of conducting lower and upper boundaries separated by an insulating medium, and that means no Schumann resonances.
If you wear some socks and drag your feet across a carpet, you'll have a larger EM field, because you'll be electrically charged. If you go touch a metal pole after that, your EM field will become small, because you won't be any more charged than your surroundings. That's how electromagnetic fields work.
What you happen to be thinking at the time doesn't play any role in the state of your EM field, you can go grab a compass and test it our for yourself right now. It's not going to change it's direction based on what you're thinking, but it will totally change if you build up an electric charge.

Even if that is true, what is the harm? Doesn't affect anyone besides me.
Of course, if it is not true, and God answers prayer, I am having influence in good for others.

n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
Mm yes. Let me find where I read that one moment.
Ah here we go
Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming the benefits of global meditation and it’s direct impact on everything in the world, even so far as to have the results published in the Journal of Crime and Justice in 1981. We know meditation has endless health and psychological benefits, but it is now being explored by politics and sociology because of its undeniable energetic impact.

n/a komali_2 2017-02-24
Why don't you question the fact that your article doesn't give you a list of those 50 studies? Anybody can throw a webpage up, dude. Do you ever wonder why you have hopped on this train of thought, and whether that makes you vulnerable to other sorts of uncited trains of controversial thought?
n/a Loud_Volume 2017-02-24
I've read plenty of studies on it, so I've already made up my mind on the matter.
Like I said, if you google - "group meditation studies" a bunch of research on it comes up.
I've provided plenty of links. I think it's fascinating stuff and it's better to be positive and try than to be negative and pessimistic about it.

Religion means placing your faith outside of yourself in something other than yourself
Spirituality means having faith in yourself and going within knowing that we are loved and have the power in each and every one of us to connect with source itself.
Religion tells you to seek that which is inside of you, outside of you.
Spirituality suggests you seek inside of you, what already exists.

Setting this down. For this I will be returning to the metaphorical dark room, of where all is formless and void, save for the presence of God booming before my miniscule near-nothingness in the emptiness of oblivion, yet a quiet one that shall not be intruded on by anyone. Terrifying, but I am safe in this confinement. The environment is specifically tailored for me to confront the terrors.
All my thoughts towards the Beltway Elite are sadistic and barbaric in nature, an eye for an eye, but deep down I know that it will not help, as they're stronger than me. I have no power in my own actions to do anything myself but pray, and so I shall. I pray that work shall be done that I cannot do myself. I'm too angry. And for this I pray that what I can do to help be done to prevent further abominations from occurring. I pray that this isn't just another ruse. I pray there is still true hope to be found and less delusion, true positivity, no McSpirituality, no McChrists misleading, no McChurches splattering their septic semantics unto my temple, and no Godhacking.
This better work.

n/a Lint007 2017-02-24
As a buddhist practitioner, I know from personal experience and the experience of others that meditation can have profound effects on individuals. Indeed, it can have effects beyond the individual doing the meditating. This one was one of the Buddha's primary teachings. But the effects don't come from sending out vibes or messages or anything, they come from turning the meditator into a better person, who then interacts with people in the world in a better way.
It doesn't seem like the effect of this can be verified. Indeed, it seems worse than that--because a prayer to "arrest pedophiles" is so generic that if any pedophiles are arrested, you can go back and attribute it to the prayer. Why not something more specific, like "arrests Podesta" or something, if he's one of the people you really want to see arrested?

In 1978, what is known as the “Maharishi Effect” took place when a group of 7000 individuals over the course of 3 weeks were meditating in hopes of positively effecting the surrounding city. They were able to literally transform the collective energy of the city which reduced global crime rates, violence, and casualties during the times of their meditation by an average of 16%. Suicide rates and automobile accidents also were reduced with all variables accounted for. In fact, there was a 72% reduction in terrorist activity during the times at which this group was meditation.
Almost 50 studies have been done further confirming the benefits of global meditation and it’s direct impact on everything in the world, even so far as to have the results published in the Journal of Crime and Justice in 1981. We know meditation has endless health and psychological benefits, but it is now being explored by politics and sociology because of its undeniable energetic impact.

You know what I find really interesting about threads like these? The massive amounts of conspiracy theorist who are so adamantly against anything spiritual, when the two are actually very closely connected. They mock us the same way normies mock conspiracy theorists and claim that spiritually inclined people are gullible and unintelligent, do they not see the hypocrisy? Open your mind to the possibilities of our incredible universe that we know next to NOTHING about . To say that we were infants in the scope of our cosmic evolution would be an understatement.

Thanks for saying this.
I get a laugh out of it too when people don't think the two are connected.
Spirituality and conspiracies go hand in hand, and the way I "spiritually awakened" was first by diving down the rabbit hole of conspiracies and then everything clicked together.
A lot of it ties in with fear as well. People fear what they don't understand.

while this won't do any harm to the effects to put these fuckers behind bars...i feel like a mass protests/marches in all cities across the U.S. would be much better.... you really think meditating is going to get the government to put their friends and peers in prison....maybe, maybe not...all i know is i want some of the crack you're smoking...

As I was naming my Alarm for tomorrow at 11am, I started thinking about the prayer tomorrow. As my eyes are being opened more and more to the reality of chilld abuse, rape, and sexual exploitation for children in our world today I become more and more full of hate. Hate for these people who would ever harm a child, hate for the a society that would let this happen, just hate flows through me sometimes, through my mind, even my veins. I think that is normal actually but not healthy!
I think we should at minimum try to balance our hatred of these individuals with our equally passionate love, care and compassion for the children. When Pedogate first started breaking online I was fairly furious inside, I didnt know how to deal with this reality. My own life was actually suffering because I was so bothered by it.
For example I went to the gym and just was so pissed inside over pedogate I just started talking shit to other men while working out. Eventually I got asked to leave the gym that night, by police, and a couple days later received a letter saying I was no longer allowed to be a member there. Hatred was flowing through me, and I was cracking. I wish I had been a bit more wise, learning to balance the hatred with peacefulness, love and care. The random citizen was not my enemy so why would I let evil get 2 birds with one stone; stealing my peaceful and good nature because I was upset over other's evil deeds?
There is a Bible verse that says "For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret." "Them" is referring to the previous verse: "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." As a matter of fact the more I read those verses and their different translations I realize I do not understand them fully, but certainly see how they could relate to the "darkness" of these pedophiles and how speaking/knowing about their deeds feels as if it has tainted me myself inside, it has effected me negatively in some ways, but positively in other ways.
So as I was setting up the title for my Alarm for the Prayer/Meditation tomorrow at 11:11, I was pondering all this. I was going to name it something like "Prayer against Pedophiles" but that was when I realized I need to try to balance all this hatred inside of me for the evil pedophiles with an even more zealous love, care and respect for the victims. So tomorrow I will pray briefly for justice to come upon the pedophiles heads, but I will spend more time praying for the children, that they will be brought into safety, into normal loving arms, and to a place where they can be healed and protected. That place only comes about when we create it. So I apologize now to my neighbors who I have been mean to on occasion. I am troubled inside, but now realize I must try to be the creator of the peaceful safe place for them.

Wow greatly said. I appreciate you taking the time to write that up. Hate is a natural reaction to these circumstances and I completely understand your perspective on the matter.
Balance is a must when it comes to negative heavy situations like this. While it's easy to let the hate flow and the anger, we also need to remember that, as hard as it is to say, they are still a part of us because we are all connected either way.
I could not agree more with your message, thank you for replying
n/a RealityGateway 2017-02-24
We've put together a guided meditation video on the official website for tomorrow's meditation. It might be a good addition to the prayers that you are already planning.

Regarding the anger, I can totally relate. The key for me was to continue down the rabbithole and not get bogged down by the negativity and instead be inspired by the wonder that is the search for truth. I experienced an accelerated awakening last year and was guided to create [RealityGateway.com](realitygateway.com/reality-guide/) to act as a roadmap for others on the awakening journey.
If you have any questions, or ever want to chat about the stuff on the site. Don't hesitate to message me :)

I'm not saying he's a scientist. So you don't need to keep repeating that. I don't think you need scientists to say something before you decide to agree with it. Qualifications are certainly useful, but they're certainly not absolute. Sheldrake is a competent individual who's spent years researching material in regards to the nature of consciousness. From my own experience in life so far, and from reading and listening to Sheldrake, personally I can completely get behind his propositions.
n/a Theappunderground 2017-02-24
Why dont you just pray that everyone believes it and makes the world better? Why keep such a powerful force to yourself when you could literally save the entire world by making everyone believe?
