Of course I want to know if people enjoyed the meditation ( or maybe even benefit from it ), and if that is the case, YES I would LOVE to do another one in Januari

If any of you have a similar idea, post away !

Greetz,

I think your normal time would be best. It is my feeling that just the idea that somewhere else on this world there is a likeminded person concentrating on the exact same goal as myself will be enough to raise conciousness

Thank you Pollyanna, you are a real example to all of us, so many are just starting out with all of this, thanks to Michael and the internet we all have access, isn't that wonderful? I, personally, started out with meditation a long time ago, but if I had had access to these debates about meditation then, oh! this is a life-force! love to you all, wish I could leave an OM symbol, that is all I wish you... all that is ...there is....

Greeting, Earthlings, I am new to the group. I am not certain if this message is being received or not. I'd appreciate an acknowledgement. TESTING TESTING One Two Three Four - etc.

Keith said in the last thread:
and this triggered an idea with me.

The human race is made out different levels of conciousness. Every person has an ego, but is also a part of the collective awareness, or so we are told by people who experience enlightenment on a daily basis.

Eckhart Tolle sais that we have to change ourselves as well as the society we live in, in order for the human race to survive.
According to different calenders and astrology's a change will be set for the entire human race in december 2012 (Mayan calender) where something will happen that will change human conciousness, "forcing" us to go to a next level of conciousness.

I have no idea what to think of these "facts" but it is my belief that enlightenment is that new conciousness they are talking about, and I see no harm in reaching it before 2012

It is common knowledge that Zen meditation "works" better when performed in a group, and Eckhart Tolle sais that " As a log just starting to burn will burn brighter in the presence of a large fire, so you can reach enlightenment faster in the presence of an enlightened teacher ".

So, I want the next peace meditation, the last one of this year, to be a bit special.
I would love to see all of us, instead of just focusing on world peace for meditation, focus on raising our collective conciousness.
I think it would be best to just think about the other forummembers, and how their awareness is growing at the same time as is yours, that distance and time are not important anymore, that we can make a "field of awareness" between ourselves.

That way we will have a group of aware people all over the world who will "make the logs in their presence burn brighter" simply by being around them !

This will indirectly bring world peace anyway

What do you guys think, will we be able to raise our levels of awareness as a next step towards enlightenment as a group ?

kind of forgot about this thread last couple of months.

You are right my alien friend time to fire up the engines again and blast off towards an enlightened world. I will make an announcement in the meditation chatterbox.
