Come Together, Right Now

"Do it" for world peace

By Abigail Lewis

Remember those bold folks who stretched and curled their naked bodies together to scribe the word peace in vast open spaces? They’re back, er, front, with a decidedly more active MO for effecting change, “through input of the largest possible surge of human energy” — the orgasm.

With a six-year timetable leading up to the December Solstice of 2012, “when the Mayan Calendar ends with a new beginning,” Dec. 22, 2006 will be the First Annual Solstice Synchronized Global Orgasm for Peace, say Global Orgasm (GlobalOrgasm.org) project creators Donna Sheehan and Paul Reffell, previously co-founders of the anti-war organization Baring Witness (BaringWitness.org).

There’s no public bum-baring involved in the new project. Participants get to choose their own place and time that day, remembering to concentrate any thoughts during and after orgasm on peace (okay, okay, you can think about your partner a little, too).

Sheehan and Reffell believe that injecting the energy field of the Earth with a “combination of high-energy orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention may have a much greater effect than previous mass meditations and prayers” in reducing violence.

Their hope is for results powerful enough to register on the worldwide monitor system of Princeton University’s Global Consciousness Project (noosphere.princeton.edu), a network of Random Event Generators (REGs) around the world that’s been recording changes in randomness during global events since 1998. Previously measurable results have been generated by mass meditations and prayers, as well as tsunamis, hurricanes and other events of nature.

When the earth moves for you Dec. 22, don’t bogart that mellow afterglow. Share it with the planet!
