Below this entry is a 25-minute documentary-style video from the Global Oneness Project that was just posted the other day on YouTube that I just found. Chances are that it will begin its creators’ intended viral sweep, creating serious discussion and thought.

I watched it all the way through and want to express my thoughts, not necessarily as an endorsement of the organization who produced the film, but as an appreciation for the potential of such media to be used as a prod for more independent thinking and soul searching.

Though some of the people being interviewed give more pessimistic thoughts on the current times, I admire the strength behind some of the other thoughts on preserving and honoring individuality and respecting all identities.

Watching this film asks you to look within

The real answer lies in our interconnectedness, our deeply shared global hope, and our impassioned intent to not only promote, to to make strides toward ecological sustainability.

The film poses some pointed questions such as

• What if the world embodied our highest potential?
• What would it look like?
• As the structures of modern society crumble, is it enough to respond with the same tired solutions?
• Or are we being called to question a set of unexamined assumptions that form the very basis of our civilization?

This is a retrospective message, asking us to reflect on the state of the world and ourselves. How do we listen more closely to what is being asked of us at this time of unprecedented global transformation?

Dr. Hagelin offers a timely solution to the global market meltdown, saying that the paralyzing fear that has been driving global markets to precarious lows can be effectively neutralized and stability restored through implementation of scientifically proven “technologies of consciousness.”

Many who have been observing world events apply meditation as a vibrational healing technique, whether singly or through group meditation. Now we have mainstream attention on the theory of a scientist of the caliber of Dr. Hagelin who maintains that meditation can be used to heal the crisis of the stressful conditions in the U.S. and world economies.

Who is John Hagelin?

He’s a word-renowned quantum physicist and co-developer of the highly successful unified field theory-or “Theory of Everything.” Dr. Hagelin also serves as executive director of the Global Financial Capital of New York at 70 Broad Street. That’s just a block from the New York Stock Exchange where the acute fear and instability that has gripped the financial world has been centered.

Meditation without a doubt has become mainstream in America and globally. In many parts of the world it has traditionally been and remains a fundamental part of life.

Dr. Hagelin reminds us that meditation is practiced in the boardrooms in some of the nation’s largest companies and financial institutions,” and that “the National Institutes of Health have awarded tens of millions of dollars to document the benefits of the Transcendental Meditation program for reducing stress and improving brain functioning and cardiovascular health. Now research shows its collective benefits as well.”

He also said that studies have already been published in leading scientific journals on the effects of group meditation showing improved economic stability along with other positive effects in society, including reduced crime and violence.

Here is Dr. Hagelin’s proposed solution to the economic meltdown:

Imagine 8,000 powerful people, people who are experts in meditation, working together to neutralize worldwide fears and re-establish confidence in the global markets. That’s what Hagelin says it will take, 8,000 being the square root of one percent of the world’s population. He says thes groups can be mobilized in New York City and in other global financial centers, and that their objective would be to defuse stress and fear and create coherent collective consciousness.

This, he says, is he basis of a balanced, strong, national and world economy. And those who have studied meditation, yoga or have other strong spiritual support from within know this consciousness is the basis for a society based on awareness and compassion, one that thrives and is fearless.

Dr. Hagelin said that the cost to establish this group on a permanent basis would be negligible compared to what has been lost in a single hour during the current financial crisis.
