[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

There's a group in the Philippines who practices collective meditation

every 8:00pm - 8:07pm in which we believe that can effect a change if

there are more who will join us...Please have some time to read what

this is all about:

THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT

A Method for Positive Inner Transformation

The Need for Change

Napoleon Hill once quoted: " Man, alone, has the

power to transform his thoughts into physical reality;

man, alone, can dream and make his dreams come

true. "

This emphasizes man's unique ability to think†" not

just to think, but to think so that his dreams will be

fulfilled. Though we may come from different walks of life, we

generally want the same things. We want to be

happy, to be free from conflict and pain, to be

successful, healthy and well. Yet obviously, looking at the suffering,

chaos and uncertainty that plague

the world we live in, we are unhappy. We are not getting the things we

want. It's time that we try to change this status quo. It is time for

positive change.

“Thoughts create

a new heaven,

a new firmament,

a new source

of energy,

from which new

arts flow.â€

†" Philipus Aureolu

This change needs to begin with us, at the individual, personal level.

It is foolhardy to expect any large-scale transformation of our world,

yet when we begin with ourselves, we light the way for a more

positive, hope-filled future. At the same time, we create for

ourselves a better life and a greater chance of achieving our wishes

and dreams.

The Real Cause of All The Problems

A spiritual master revealed to his highest disciples this esoteric secret:

that all problems, whatever their nature may be, have but one common

cause. This cause is non-attunement to one's spiritual base, which is

the very essence of each person. When we are out of touch with our

spiritual nature, this manifests as any of the many problems that

plague ordinary human existence. We may experience it as a physical

disease, as financial lack, or as a relationship problem. We may

experience it as pain, suffering, poverty, hopelessness, anger,

desolation, emptiness. However

it manifests, it is but one problem in reality†" the problem of non

attunement to our true, divine self.

The Solution

Thus, the solution to any problem is simple and

straightforward. Attune to the Real and Spiritual

within yourself, attune to goodness†" attune to

God, if we prefer to call it such†" and

immediately set to motion the process that will

eventually, if not immediately, solve the problem

you are faced with.

Method for Attunement

This is a meditation technique that enables one to attune to God and

the Cosmic, to the Spirit that is the ultimate reality. It is simple

and easy, and can be done in just about seven minutes. Anyone who

performs it should

do so at the prescribed time of 8:00†" 8:07 pm (Manila time).

In a private room where you will not be disturbed, sit in silence.

Close your eyes, put your hands on your lap, with the palms down.

Relax. Empty your mind of all thoughts and mundane concerns. Be at

peace. When you have done this, focus your attention on your very being.

Visualize yourself as imbued with the attributes of Joy...

Peace...Harmony... Vitality... Infinite Goodness... Power... Love and

Kindness. Permeate your whole being with each attribute, one at each

turn. Vividly feel each emotion, letting it fill and flood your entire

being, until you feel yourself becoming the very embodiment of those

attributes. At this point, you must forget who you are and where you

are, and be completely engulfed in the experience of yourself as joy,

peace, harmony, vitality, and so on.

Afterwards, stop your visualization and relax. Just

be, stay in a passive state for a few moments.

Then rise and continue with your usual routine for

the evening.

Simple, Yet Efficient

The beauty of the technique lies in its simplicity and

efficacy. When done properly and regularly, it will

produce amazing results that will be felt in all

aspects of your life. It will have beneficial effects on

your general disposition, outlook, emotions and

health. These will then translate to positive

outcomes related to your work or profession,

creative endeavors, social relationships, and your

well-being as a whole. However, we urge that you do not just take our

word for it. Instead, test out this technique by actually doing it and

then experiencing the effects firsthand. Do it for 40 days,

remembering to start at the appointed time (see below for the

worldwide schedule).

At each time that you do the exercise, hundreds of people†" and possibly

thousands more in the near future†" will be doing it with you

simultaneously, thus exponentially magnifying its effect and

efficiency. It will be a synchronous and global outflowing of positive

thought and

energy, engulfing the entire planet, cleansing it of negativity, and

enveloping it with pure, joyful, sacrosanct thoughts. It will be a

worldwide prayer of joy, a rejoicing in and affirmation of the glory

of Spirit, goodness, and God.

How Does It Work?

The technique puts to practice the power of positive thinking, a

principle that has been around for centuries, and that has guided

great men to success

and achievement. It also employs the Law of Attraction, which states

that we attract what we think. If we fill our minds with good

thoughts, and do so with intensity, emotion and focus, then these good

things will come into our life. When we perform the exercise given, we

must therefore do so with attentiveness and concentration, and not

just go through the motions. We must also do it regularly, that is,

daily at 8:00pm (Manila time), so that it becomes a habit†" a constant

and repeated sprinkling of good thoughts

and positive energy into the fertile soil of our subconscious mind,

whose abundant rewards we will reap in due time.

“The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can

change his life by changing the attitude of mind.††"

“Joy is prayer†"

Joy is strength†"

Joy is love†"

Joy is a net of love

by which you

can catch souls.â€

†" Mother Theresa

The Mystical Experience as the Finest Emotion Beyond its expected

benefits, the very experience of the technique is itself highly

rewarding. Attunement to the Spirit is a mystical experience that

every human being should have the opportunity to feel. In the words of

Albert Einstein, the mystical is " the most beautiful thing we can

experience. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom

this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and

stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. "

Immersing ourselves each time in the purest and highest of

all thoughts, in attunement to God or the Universal Life

Force, will promote spiritual development. In time, it will

lead to the Samadhi or Cosmic Consciousness, the coveted

goal of mystical practice.

The Butterfly Effect

The inner transformation that this practice will bring is like the

metamorphosis of the butterfly. From the limiting

cocoon of self-centeredness and acquisitiveness, the mind is freed to

soar unbridled into the sky of Spirit, our true home and nature.

There, even for just a few minutes, the

individual elevates his being to the level of Godhood,

enjoying perfect peace and harmony, and communing with

the highest and noblest ideals. The whole process of transformation

may be slow, but getting to the goal is certain. This transformation

is real, and it happens every day, as a fact of life, in the natural

world all around us.

And as the butterfly flies from flower to flower, we

encourage you to share word of this technique

from friend to friend. Practice it yourself first, then

once you have proven its efficacy; let other people

in your life know about it. Share with them your

knowledge; Give them a copy of this, so that they too can benefit from

its simple yet powerful application.

Good karma is earned with the sharing of knowledge, especially of

knowledge that will transform a person's life into one filled with

joy, goodness and peace. The more you share this with others, the

greater the

material and spiritual benefits will be for you.

“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message†" that

is love, compassion, and forgiveness…

The important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.††" The

Dalai Lama
