Last Wednesday evening, in the middle of the wee hours, more than 3 million people held a silent intention to heal Washington DC, not only of its violent crimes, but also, on Capitol Hill, its violent behavior.

The occasion was my Intention Experiment to HEAL America, which was held LIVE on George Noory’s Coast to Coast am radio station – perhaps one of the largest radio shows in the US, making this the largest Intention

We in the US are in the midst of an election year and the cat-fight is well underway.  Mitt Romney is busy claiming that Obama is responsible for keeping 23 million Americans out of work, undermining NATO, and blowing it on clean energy, and Obama is enlisting Bill Clinton to call Romney a pansy, who wouldn’t have had the balls to mow down Bin Laden or resurrect the auto industry in Detroit. And they’re only just getting started.

Although I started out skimming Of Mice and Men to help my youngest daughter on an exam, I moved onto John Steinbeck’s masterwork, The Grapes of Wrath – largely to examine whether history is just repeating itself in the fine mess we’re in, and how to best to write about it in a way that will inspire people to do something.

Today on the BBC’s much beloved Radio 4, which offers a morning slot called Thought for the Day, some short topic about the state of the world explored by a local vicar about the state of the world, some reverend was chewing over the idea that evil is mostly a group dynamic.

How inherent is human spirituality – even among non-believers?  Is it there all along, but simply buried under conscious doubt and skeptical analysis, waiting to surface when we confront our own mortality?

Every so often something happens that restores my faith in the power of the truth.  This rarely happens when it comes to health care. Modern medicine is one of the big, dangerous monoliths of our time, a stark symbol of the competitive mindset and the industrial age – the triumph of the machine over the human being.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of the news. I tired of hearing about how the world is falling down, tired of newspaper headlines screaming ‘AIN’T IT AWFUL.’ I’m tired of what journalism has become: the fount of bad news. I’m tired of bad news, period.

I’m tired of it because I know it’s not true. I know that there are millions of initiatives all around the planet, even in the most unlikely nooks and crannies, of people who are making use of the crises we now face in every area of our lives – the falling-down world we now have — to make our world it anew.

Our survey to discover if lives changed among those who participated in our historic 9/11 Peace Intention Experiment offers even more powerful evidence of the extraordinary and unique healing power of group intention: when you send healing as a group you end up healing yourself.

Although this is just a sampling of the data still coming in, I thought it was interesting enough to share.
