Fire the grid?

[Gruvkitty]

Anyone else been following this movement at Firethegrid.org?

The woman's name is Shelley Yates, and she's planning a global meditaion hour on July 17, 2007 at 11:11 Greenwich Mean Time to raise our energy level and "fire the grid." in order to, " pulse healing energy into the center of the earth and regenerate the core, or the heart of the planet. "

You can listen to her story at youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqUAluDvuU4&mode=related&search=

Or just check out her site firethegrid.org

I'm curious to hear your reactions.

I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the Leaning Tower of Pizza when it happens. But still, I say "Let her rip."

[bopes]

putting aside any skepticism as to her motive, her methods and/or the particular details of her story, she appears at least to be trying to take some kind of positive action toward
the use of mass psychic ritual to alter climate conditions by concentrating psychic energy.

It has been suggested on this board that such efforts are necessary. I'm game.

[bopes]

I don't know. Did the light beings also tell her to sell T-shirts and memorabilia?

[drew hempel]

That's funny. I watched that video last night! I got to film #7 I think. She's part of the Greer-Coast to Coast promotion of the E.T. Invasion.

How coincidental that ONLY Greer would help her with her amazing story.

How coincidental that immediately afterwards Coast to Coast calls her for an interview.

Both Greer and Coast to Coast are the two main promoters of the E.T. "invasion" to save humanity through reverse-engineered technology.

She's probably just an amazing NDEer that's been taken in by the Greer-von Braun CIA-NASA promoters of the Stargate Conspiracy.

Only the E.T.s will save humanity! haha.

The real message is only technology will save humanity.

We could unite much better if we were all microchipped instead of just using our computers to align our meditation....

By the way the latest issue of Atomic Bulletin of Scientists or whatever has an expose on how von Braun was pushing big time for a Nuke Weapon Space Station for global control.... Nazi still at it.

I forgot completely about it. I believe I was en route to pick up my car from the shop during the fateful hour. Though I had to walk through a bad neighborhood to get there and no one attacked me. If that's a side-benefit of the grid firing, I'm certainly grateful for it.

I did awake for it and meditated for about 1/2 an hour before going back to bed. In the deeper parts of meditation I did have an awareness, or thought, of other people around the world participating at the exact same time, which, true or not, gave me an intensely comforting and positive feeling. That alone was worth the price of admission. I've found absolutely nothing reporting on how it went from anywhere on the internet. Anybody hear anything?

I was, however, a bit dismayed discovering the open letter to Oprah Winfrey that the Fire the Grid people composed in anticipation of the event. I find Shelley's story really interesting but the flake-a-zoid language, hubris, presumption and lack of context in this missive turns me off. Why does the "Light of the Light" choose such clumsy communicators?

“Dear Oprah Winfrey,

We are the Light of the Light and we bring you a message of Love and Joy from the Universe, a method to achieve the highest frequency of human vibration. A message so powerful it has the potential to change the world as we know it. We know your heart, dear one, and we offer for your guidance and direction a chance to manifest the power of intention on a global scale. This is a distinct opportunity to apply the principles of “The Secret,” not for one's own personal desires, but for all humanity, to create a wondrous world which is your destiny.

You are presently in a position to assist your planet during this time of change and transformation. We bring to your attention a worldwide project that will facilitate the lifting of your personal vibrational field all while lifting the earth's own energy field; catapulting you collectively into a state of healing. Take care of the “I” and the “We” which you seek for these earth changes will follow. When you maintain a pure, joyful expression of gratitude, you allow the Divine Love of the universe to radiate out to all.

You are a carrier of this Divine Love energy, as are all humans. This is your greatest tool for manifesting the earth you so desire. The key is to remember your true creative potential while living in this physical body, then maintain an open heart for this Love to flow through. This powerful truth will assist you in bringing a wonderful metamorphasis to your world; providing peace, prosperity and unlimited future potential for all human beings.

On July 17, 2007 at 11:11 GMT, there will be a cosmic opening which will rain down incredible creative energy upon the earth. We wish to share this event with you and humbly request your assistance in sharing our message with the world. This will take but one hour of your time but will affect the rest of your life. It is easy to participate. Simply discover that which brings you your greatest joy then meditate, pray, sing, love or dance with appreciation and a grateful heart. Embrace the moment and be truly thankful for that experience. This event will act as a catalyst to begin a worldwide healing and then together we will create a global movement toward change.

One hour of your time can heal the earth. Learn how at the website below. Thank you for considering our truth and sharing it with others.”

Her story on utube is pretty amazing.

i'd be curious to know if the global consciousness project (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/) registered anything statistically significant during the hour of the firing of the grid.

[bopes]

Looks like the GCP did track it. Here's some excerpts from their analysis of the Fire the Grid event.

Because the average effect size is small (Z ~ 0.3) we cannot generally interpret single events with reliability; we need repeated tests of the same type of hypothesis. That having been said, we see that the Fire the Grid event has a positive outcome, consistent with the prediction, and indeed shows a larger deviation than the average.

The full day of July 17 (UTC) is shown in the next graph, with the hour-long Fire the Grid (FTG) event marked. While the cautions about interpretation of single analyses apply here also, it is interesting to note that the FTG presents a notable "spike" of positive trend on a rather consistent day-long background trend that is negative. For a larger context it is instructive to look at a long term trend (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/prespoll07.html) analysis that shows some suggestive correlation with polling data that in turn may reflect our communal state of mind. Here too we see a general trend that if regarded as the "true" expectation would make positive deviations more impressive.

I encourage people interested in this and other occasions that bring us together to meditate or pray for a better future to trust your/our feelings and direct perceptions of the effects. The GCP analyses are a very interesting adjunct, but they should not be seen as a test of the intent or success of the gathering of minds for good purpose.

Again, we do not believe it is appropriate to interpret single events even though it is tempting to do so when the "picture" looks good. The signal to noise ratio is way too small, and to make claims based on any single experiment in this domain is potentially misleading. It happens in this case that the FTG event is one in a decent size collection we have assembled over the years, and it is consistent with the general outcome. Good stuff, but just the beginning of learning about the stuff.


I just read through the long-term trend stuff, which is rather amazing. It compares the GCP data with presidential approval ratings since the start of the Iraq war. The general trend, obviously, is downward. The interesting thing is how closely the GCP line (brown) tracks the approval-rating line (blue) over a long period:

That's why they say any positive spike (such as the FTG) in the context of a long-term downward trend is perhaps more significant.

Bopes,

Nicely done.

Dna.

[Mars]

Yes, thank you Bopes. Very interesting. Isn't the GCP the folks that took measurements right before 9/11 or after 9/11? I really hope there are other events like this, either by the Fire the Grid folks or anyone else who can inspire an international coming together. It was a really good experience to feel that kind of quiet, reflective simultaneity (is that a word?) with people in wildly disparate locations.

hah!

"channeling without the aid of psychedelics is a symtom of mental illness" terence mckenna

[Caprinardo Delirio]

i'm sorry, i'm not interested in only talking about pathology, and i don't like that kind of psychologizing at all...
