Imagine people all over the world sharing a moment of meditation
and prayer, a moment of unified global consciousness when people from the
world's many diverse spiritual traditions simultaneously focus attention
on our interconnected relationship with Gaia - the living earth. Each person
bringing love, compassion and understanding to embrace the possibility of
healing the social, ecological and spiritual challenges before us. As we
approach the dawn of the new millennium, increasingly aware of our interdependence,
we may choose to join together as a global community in such a moment to
catalyze planetary transformation by both envisioning the light and facing
the darkness of our times.
What influence could millions of people joined in simultaneous
meditation and prayer have on the future? Is it possible that we can intentionally
advance the evolution of global consciousness? Many have speculated about
such questions, and research suggests that large scale meditations have
had demonstrable effects on other areas of human affairs, but how might
we choose a time to explore this in unison?
On January 23, 1997 there will be an exceedingly rare and archetypally appropriate
planetary alignment, a moment in time expressed in the heavens as a perfect
six-pointed star. This pattern comes on the exact day that three outer planets,
Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune are conjoined together for the first time in
almost two hundred years. Not since the Renaissance have all five outer-most
planets been so harmoniously arrayed. On January 23rd, this cluster of planets
will center on the first degrees of Aquarius, joined by the Sun, with the
Full Moon opposite them all. Thus, perhaps this pattern may also be a symbolic
representation of the long heralded dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

May we envision GaiaMind, in
unison, in time.

Planetary Alignment
The geometric perfection of this astrological pattern serves as
a symbol of a unique moment of opportunity, a day on which people all over
the world may come together to participate in an intentional expression
of the emergent unified planetary consciousness -- to affirm that we are
all one. Through shared intention we may move toward the emergence of a
new planetary awareness, perhaps toward a noosphere
of GaiaMind. White light seems to be the most universal archetype imaginable.
Envisioning light together in unison may be the most effective way to bring
all of our individual minds into resonance. We invite you to participate
in this experiment in collective intention and share a moment of meditation
and prayer for the healing transformation of the Earth.
