I am posting this in multiple forums.

This is an experiment. The goal of this is to create a large group of people doing the same thing at the same time thus creating a large national if not global net of energy with a single purpose. If you are interested in joining the energy net you do not need to post, but it would be helpful to know how many people are joining.

Each person will need to focus on the same thing for a short amount of time. It should not be a draining activity since the idea is simply to connect and not to exchange power.

When: Midnight EST (USA) of the next full moon January 27th
Where: In a peaceful solitary (unless you are focusing with someone) location where you can think clearly about connection with others outside your own sphere.
What to Say/Think: Hello Strangers, Hello Friends, Hello World, Peace Begins, Merry Meet and Merry Part, May I play my part.
What to Focus on: The Moon
Why: An attempt to create a common goal among masses and have it be felt by those said masses.
How: There are several ways to achieve the connection, but it should be personal to each person. Meditation, chant, or ritual are some good places to start.
How Long: 5 minutes (if you are not capable of focusing that long shorter amounts of time is also helpful.)

If you feel a connection during this event please post it in this forum, I will gather all responses and post them for each participant to see. If you don't want your response shared simply say "Do Not Share" in the post and I will respect that.

So your post says this is an "attempt to create a common goal among masses" but says nothing about what that goal might be. If the goal itself is the connection then it's actually just an attempt to create that connection. And do you have any plans for the energy that will go into this? May you do your part for what? For peace? For healing? What? What is the purpose of this "energy net"? This all seems rather unfocused.

The energy will go to the focus itself, and not to other people. The idea is to find a connection with others across the globe. Play your part in the "net" as a data point of sorts to see how many people are out there.

So you're trying to create a common connection rather then a common goal. And what focus? I'm still not seeing much purpose to this. As for other issues with it, I don't care for the specific ritual language but that's not a huge one. There seems to be a lot of potential in this to be exploited or disrupted but ill-intentioned types. I mean, all sorts of people deliberately opening themselves up to complete strangers, and sending energy at some ill-defined "energy net", sounds like a great way to get inside a lot of shields and muck about or take advantage of the energies just floating about without any real direction behind them.

It is possible to maintain a focus while also maintaining your defenses. Directing the energy as an inquiry instead of as an open invitation would prevent most of the ill intentions from interfering. The common words are simply to get the same idea through multiple people. They are not necessary if you are capable of created the same outcome without them. I have always wondered how many people out there are capable of communication from a distance and this is the inquiry of the experiment.

Especially when the idea is to make contact with an unknown amount of complete strangers. And if the only purpose for this output of energy is to satisfy your curiosity, then I'm okay being out on it.

Each person has their own curiosity, and if others wonder the same thing as me then they too will have an answer. I respect your decision not to join. My post was an invitation. smile If those who wish to keep up defenses do not know how then they need but ask and either myself or others in this guild can answer. smile

Theory and practice are very different things, especially when it comes to things like shielding.

Why couldn't you just take a poll? Doesn't it seem like wasted effort to get everyone together and synchronized for a time span of five minutes and yet nothing gets cast?

Partly my point. Let's put all this effort in and gather all this energy and then...do nothing with it...
