This thread is reminding me of a true story which many of you have probably heard also. It 's about how a monkey was seen doing something that had not been observed before, at least not by the scientific community anyway. One monkey was seen for the first time washing a potato (or some other vegetable) before eating it. So far, perhaps only interesting for a monkey “specialist”. Then soon after, other monkeys started doing it…Again the monkeyologist might be interested more than me… Here comes the dessert part; eventually, in other parts of the world, other monkeys started doing it. There was no possibility that the monkeys from the various areas around the globe could have had any kind of contact. Well, perhaps “some” kind. But not of the familiar physical kind.
There was also an experiment done with rats. All done under scientific standards. The rats had to figure out how to get their food thru a complex procedure (I forget what it was). The rats succeeded in a certain amount of time. They did the same experiment with another group of rats who had no contact with the first group, and they did this in another part of the world. This second group succeeded but they did it much faster than the first group (I forget the exact duration). Then they did the same experiment with a third group of rats in another country, and this third group did it significantly faster than the other groups too.
What does all this have to do with this topic of prayers ?
Well, to me this suggests that like behaviors, prayers probably can travel far and can also be received by other beings. So far, probably nothing new for anyone here. But what if we could somehow “incite” change among humans this way too. And since what we’d be affecting would be the ideas, thoughts, visions of the people who are open to this new or
more “vivid” vision or idea. And since ALOT starts at this level, if not everything. Revolutions start like this. The “Law Of The Great Peace” of the Iroquois started out with a vision or idea.
Possibly everything we materialize starts out as an idea, feeling, vision, dream, etc. Good or bad, I’d add.
So, I don’t know about affecting the assholes in control of this civilization and the wannabe assholes, but I suspect the open minded and sensible human beings, we might be able to do something about. Maybe we can find ways to become more “effective” in this particular domain where we probably already affect people anyway, and get some people to embrace a viable way of life.
What do you think ?
Any ideas ?
