When we have our face pressed up against a tree, it is easy to lose our perspective. Our eyes become blurry and things start to look out of focus. Often things become magnified and distorted. By taking a step back, we can regain our perspective. How many times have we found what we were looking for only after we had stopped looking for it?

The news can make us lose our perspective. We usually hear about the few people who had horrible things happen to them that day—we tend to hear about the bad news. By focusing on the negative, we start to believe that our world is unsafe and we feel fear. The millions and millions of people who had a perfectly fine day go unreported. The amazing acts of kindness and caring often are unnoticed. The incredible number of people who made a positive difference in the world that day, who have love and compassion in their hearts, often are even themselves unaware of the difference their presence makes in the world.

In Neale Donald Walsch’s book, The New Revelations: A Conversation with God, he notes how we all have an energy field around our body that extends out to infinity. Thus, we really are all one. By remembering this we can feel compassion and love for all of humanity and we can be humanitarians. We can choose to place our attention on what is working in our lives and in the world around us. We can focus on solutions rather than on problems. What we place our attention on will grow. What will you choose to nourish in your world?

Dr. Masaru Emoto’s Messages from Water books show us that our prayers and thoughts do make a difference. In Dr. David Hawkins’ book, Power vs. Force, muscle testing revealed that love is far more powerful than fear. Interestingly, peace was found to be even more powerful vibrationally than love. We have wonderfully powerful tools that are free for us to use. We can use them to create the kind of world that we wish to live in. Each one of us can and do make a difference. Let us regain our perspective and focus on all that is possible. May each of us find the solutions and the joy that we seek. And when we do, may we share them with others and help to light the world.

In peace & love,

Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
— John Wesley

Have you ever played with a hand-held laser pointer? I’m fascinated by these devices. Powered by tiny batteries, they emit an intense beam of light that is visible for miles.

What’s the secret behind laser light? Physicists have determined that light waves are generally incoherent—that their wavelengths are randomly oriented. Simply put, one wavelength of light may be “up” and another “down,” cancelling each other out. Laser light, however, is coherent, its wavelengths are in phase (all up or all down) and they amplify each other.

We see this principle at work in a sports stadium when the crowd does “The Wave.” In The Wave, each person aligns the timing or phase of their gesture, creating a coherent wave pattern that undulates around the stadium. (The same effect can be heard when an audience’s random applause shifts into synchronous clapping).

So what do laser light and The Wave have to do with creating an enlightened planetary civilization? Everything. Like light beams, the wavelengths of your thoughts are generally incoherent, yet they can be aligned to produce an amplified power. Intuitively, we know that we can achieve fantastic results when we maintain a coherent focus of attention-waves on our intention—without distraction or doubts. (This is the principle behind Neo’s abilities in the movie The Matrix and in the reality creation technique taught in the Avatar® Course).

Recently, researchers have found that this principle also works with the intentions of a group of aligned individuals. In “The Great Experiment”*, carried out on February 15, 2003, James Twyman asked 100,000 people to focus on peace in the Middle East and in the days following this global prayer vigil, local authorities reported that violent acts in the area were reduced by 50%. The alignment of intention amplified the power of individual prayers into a group “Peace Wave” that was felt halfway around the world!

Imagine…a world where the power of prayer eclipses the force of armies! It’s happening, here and now.

May Peace Fill Your Heart,
Tony Cecala, Ph.D.
