Healing Wounds

From the first day of the 9/11 Peace Intention Experiment, the participants had made an extraordinary connection with one another, even more powerful than during the 2008 Sri Lankan Experiment—in most cases the most extraordinary connection they’d ever experienced.

“Like I was a piece of metal being drawn to a magnet not of this world from my elbows to the tip of my fingers,” wrote Logan from Switzerland.

“Like I had a white glow around my body, with a white cylinder connecting my body (and everyone else’s) to the target area,” wrote Cathy.

“Like being in the total vortex of prayer energy of all who were focusing, like an out-of-body experience,” wrote Linda from the United States.

“Like swimming in an ocean of goodwill, love, hope,” wrote Simona from Romania.

Their bodies felt “electrified,” and many were shaking “like when you’re really cold and you get ‘the chills,’ ” with “waves and waves of shivers all over” their bodies. They became cognizant of internal sounds, as though “there were people whispering” in their minds. Many were openly sobbing during and after the experiment, as though they’d “tapped into a global pain body” intensifying their own feelings. “I wasn’t a body at that very (long) moment,” wrote Saad. After reading aloud the intention, Michel’s throat was so sore that he had to stop speaking. “It’s the closest,” wrote one, that “I have ever felt to ‘God.’ ”

Just before the experiment started, Logan had texted his sister to ask if she could get to a computer and sent her the link, even though she is not a practicing meditator and had never tried to do intention. After the experiment, she called to tell him she’d gotten so emotional during the experiment that her partner even wondered whether she’d been looking at an upsetting photograph because she’d been crying so much. “I told her that is exactly what I felt,” he said.

They’d hallucinated strange, highly specific utopian visions from their own perspective, feeling as though they were “IN their bodies, but also right OVER THERE in the target area” in Afghanistan:

“A white energy of peace shooting from all of us, mingling into a wide beam of light and hope!” wrote Amal.

“People working together to rebuild schools, hospitals, and lives and a country of love and peace!!!” wrote Debbie.

“Afghanistan as the very source for the new Global Peace in the world,” wrote Cornelia.

“The kids running beside the rivers . . . heard the birds singing and saw schools and universities in Kandahar and Helmand . . . then I saw the West and the East normally mingling together, no difference at all,” Fatima wrote.

“The white birds of peace getting out of Ground Zero covering the world,” Tarik wrote.

“All the rancor in Washington DC and US politics dissolving like chocolate,” wrote Maridee.

“George Bush with Condoleezza Rice and [Donald] Rumsfeld living and sitting between all Afghanistan people having a drink with each other, like friends,” wrote Marjorie.

“Arabs and Americans . . . all throwing their arms down into a
