Everything is beautiful. . . . In its own way. . . .

Truth is, this is only last year's post. I'm unable to determine if it's officially happening again this year, because I can't get their web page to load on either of my browsers. Most of what I've googled appears to be a rehash of last year, with this year's date on it. So, I'm going to hope that it happens, at least informally, and am doing my bit. . . .

Be there or be square. . . .

Orgasms for peace

A new peace organization is calling on every man and woman on earth to help the global community fight the aggression and violence occurring between nations by doing something many already dočhave sex.

On Dec. 22, the First Annual Solstice Synchronized Global Orgasm for Peace will take place. Sure, it’s got a long name, but at heart, it has a simple goalčto use the positive energies created during intercourse and orgasm to reduce the current levels of aggression in the energy field of the earth. The effect will be even stronger, event coordinators say, if participants think actively about world peace while they participate.

According to the Global Orgasm website, results from the project show that “human consciousness can be measured to have a global effect on matter and energy during widely-watched events [such as] mass meditations and prayers.

Sound a little out-of-this-world? The event has some scientific support backing up its goals. Princeton University’s Global Consciousness Project operates “random event generators” all over the world that measure changes in randomness during global events that attract a lot of human attention, such as 9/11 or the tsunami in the Indian Ocean.

Event coordinators hope that the increase in “conscious peaceful intent” on Global Orgasm for Peace Day will be large enough to appear on the sensors for The Global Consciousness Project, as well as to reduce conflict and aggression in the earth’s energy field.

Although the word “synchronized” is included in the event’s title, there is no official time set for the orgasms to occur. The coordinators of the event aim instead for an entire day filled with continuous orgasms occurring around the world, at a wide variety of times and places.
