Inspired by Van's thought about earth meditations, I'd like to suggest a Chatroom Meditation for later today (in about 9 hours from time of posting).

Date: today (28/6)
Time: 7pm EST (that's Eastern Standard Time USA).  See the world clock to co-ordinate.
Topic: offering a gesture of love and acceptance to those about to commit acts of hatred (namely, those in the Islamic State).
Where: Chatroom 2 - the Lounge area

The Justification?  we all know from Ra that negative entities send negative greetings that are targeted to individuals.  These negative greetings are a gentle reminder from them that the Path of Separation is possible, and that we've all considered it at some point in our lives.

Likewise, a positive greeting is like a reminder to those entities, that they were once loved unconditionally by their mother, they were loved by their friends, and the acts of violence and hatred they are about to inflict on others, is inflicting it on those strangers whom they haven't had the honor of meeting, and becoming friends with.  A positive greeting can't change or infringe on another's choice, but it's like a gentle query - you sure you wanna do this?  is there another way to look at this, with a greater amount of acceptance?

And you might think these individuals are already too far gone, too far indoctrinated into beliefs of violence and hatred.  That they can't turn back at the last moment.  Everyone can turn back.  I'm sure we've all remembered occasions when we could have been unloving, but we held back from saying or acting at the last moment, knowing how hurtful it would be.

So a group positive greeting is more powerful a gesture than one offered by any single individual.  It does not infringe; as we are only offering this just the once.  Negatives have the chance to greet us; positives have the same right to offer once-off gestures to other selves who might, deep down, want a reminder that there is another way.

So how about 7pm Eastern.  We'll give 10 minutes for everyone to gather, and then we can do the Meditation (away from keyboard!) for 7 minutes, offering our most harmonious, sincere, pure and most gentle reminder to those in the IS (Islamic State) who are about to perpetrate gross acts of physical violence on others.

So how about it?  I'll see you there
