The Universal Power of Belief
This morning the “Wizard” reminded me that Richie Starkey is sixty-eight today. “So,” you ask.
Well, I’m sharing this because the only thing he wants for his birthday is for people to pause today at noon, wherever you are in the world, make a peace sign with your fingers and say with a smile, “Peace and Love.”
Many may think this request is silly. Yet, a study published in The Journal of Conflict Resolution in 1988 on an experiment, which began during the war between Lebanon and Israel in 1982, demonstrated that when a group of people feel “peace” is in their bodies, the statistics of the war began to change. This holistic view of the world, when belief is completely aligned, can being about a universal change. While the 1988 study and similar ones since then deserve more exploration in understanding the universal power of belief, they do demonstrate that there is an effect here that’s beyond chance. For more information on the power of belief, you may want to consider reading the best selling author, Gregg Braden.
