On July 17 at 11:11 GMT — 16:41 (4:41 PM) in my time zone — we will assemble from all corners of our world as a collective body of energy to meditate simultaneously for 1 hour (60 minutes).

To synchronize ourselves worldwide, each time zone begins the Fire the Grid meditation at the GMT equivalent local time

Sangham Sharanam Gacchaami

In one context, it's a wonderful gesture and you should do whatever you are moved to do, and in reality you cannot do otherwise.

In the larger context, humanity is an expression of divinity and is neither the cause of problems nor the solution. In this context, everything serves, including the apparent 'problems' as well as the apparent 'solutions'. This is perfection and it cannot be otherwise. There is also a context in which the belief that there are problems to be solved is what holds the problems in place.

I offer one of my poems as a possibility to consider:

Saving Worlds

And there it is

The wide eyed struggle

Self righteous insistence

That God is a fool

A mistake has been made

And we must rescue

The hapless creator

From his carelessness.

Nothing has gone wrong

Fear is but the search for love

Struggle seeks surrender

Indifference seeks compassion

Arrogance seeks humility

Sadness seeks joy

Violence seeks peace

Separation seeks unity

Aloneness seeks oneness

In your deepest heart

You know this to be so

Or you would not be here.

Freedom is borne of misery

And is birthed from within

And tempered by

The fires of hell

I beg of you

To let it be.

So excited. It will be a great day for the everyman. As a society who elects representatives to protect our interests I think it's important to stand together and make our collective voices heard. If not through peaceful protest how would those representative know what we the people want? Fair treatment, the rights to basic universal needs such as shelter and health care, these are not too much to ask. To stand together, across the world, and ask for acknowledgment of our collective concerns, I think that's a beautiful thing and it saddens me so many people have a problem with it. Particularly the name calling. They are protestors. Allow me to set some people straight, they are not hippies, junkies, anarchists, malcontents,or rioters. They are protestors attempting to have their voices heard. This isn't grade school, the name calling has to stop. And agree or disagree, the least everyone can do, is listen.

I took a look at the site, and it resonates with other movements I have seen in the past; I told my husband about it when he related a dream he had about the terrain of collective unconscious. This morning I found by accident a reinforcing endorsement of this kind of practice while looking up information on Maharishi Mahesh Yogi--one of his admonitions for society:

Vedic Defence - creating an influence of positivity and coherence in collective consciousness through practice of Yogic Flying in large groups.

It seems to be a similar concept as far as I understand it. I remember some years ago that there was a similar undertaking outlined on Art Bell's Coast to Coast radio show as well. This idea pops up everywhere. This is the first time I've learned of a practice before the date of commission. There is much that interests me in this. Thanks!

A little bird told me about this, too. :-)

I've been spreading the word.

Lets hope it becomes like a wildfire.

Count me in!

Meditators, too, must work. :-)

Thankyou Michelle for bringing this to a wide audience.

I did know about it and my intuition is that it is genuine.

Yes, I have participated in major meditations before and found them effective and inspirational.

The more people we can get, worldwide, to participate for this hour, the better.

Blessings

Jon

Sorry, but imo this is a setup, a con job. Let me know when I can stop running. Never again!

It's sounds like a great idea. Count me in.

I'll stand with you.

This is good! We should all do it.
