Come Together (but not yet)

I'm all for change. For instance, I'm as pleased as anybody about the recent mid-term results, and probably distinctly more chuffed than Donald Rumsfeld. So, any chance to effect more change is OK by me.

Especially if it's fun.

So, ladies and gentlemen (and especially the ladies) may I introduce you to Global Orgasm. Basically it's asking you to have an earth-shaker for peace. It doesn't interfere with any plans I might have, so I'm quite happy to join in.

But what is it they hope to achieve? This is what the site says:

The mission of the Global Orgasm is to effect change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy. Now that there are two more US fleets heading for the Persian Gulf with anti- submarine equipment that can only be for use against Iran, the time to change Earth’s energy is NOW! Read more about the fleet buildup here.

The intent is that the participants concentrate any thoughts during and after orgasm on peace. The combination of high- energy orgasmic energy combined with mindful intention may have a much greater effect than previous mass meditations and prayers.

The goal is to add so much concentrated and high-energy positive input into the energy field of the Earth that it will reduce the current dangerous levels of aggression and violence throughout the world.

OK. I think I got all that. Then I had a look at the science bit:

The Global Consciousness Project (http://noosphere.princeton.edu), Princeton University, runs a network of Random Event Generators (REGs) around the world, which record changes in randomness during global events. The results show that human consciousness can be measured to have a global effect on matter and energy during widely-watched events such as 9/11 and the Indian Ocean tsunami. There have also been measurable results during mass meditations and prayers.

The Zero Point Field or Quantum Field surrounds and is part of everything in the universe. It can be affected by human consciousness, as can be seen when simple observation of a subatomic particle changes the particle’s state.

We hope that a huge influx of physical, mental and spiritual energy with conscious peaceful intent will not only show up on Princeton’s REGs, but will have profound positive effects that will change the violent state of the human world.

No. You've lost me now.

Still, I intend to join in. And why not? What could possibly go wrong?
