Opening this thread for people who want to discuss, join and be part of the concept of a power of 8 group.
In phase shifts, because there's so much disequilibrium, one tiny alteration can change the entire outcome markedly. What this means is that each of us as individuals has it in our agency to further empower the light so that the future really will be so much better. Each of our small decisions makes a difference for the collective.
@coyote I feel like a kid in a candy store today. Yet another illuminating post that will make it to the Post Hall of Fame - the third time I am doing so this morning.
Your post also reminds me of something @vestralux wrote about the miraculous power of a small, cohesive group. By focusing merged intention on a single target, the collective consciousness creates a fast track to the miraculous with effects boomeranging back to the group. She was referring to the findings put out by Lynn McTaggert in The Power of Eight and the author has even put out instructional videos on YouTube on how to set up a a Power of Eight group.
Surely we can find 8 people in this forum to set up such a group or various such small groups?
Why thank you, Pikake. Yes, @vestralux has long been sharing wisdom here about how it only takes a small group of people to effect wholesale change. My guides have also been coming closer to me over the past few months, and they keep telling me that every small effort on my part is building up to something much greater. (And I'd be down for a Power of 8 group!)
I just thought of something to illustrate my original point about the interchange of energies: supermassive black holes also create quasars. So even exceptionally dark, seemingly inescapable forces on the astrophysical level create some of the brightest objects in the universe.
I meant to include this link to a brief Power of Intention workbook that Lynne McTaggart shares online. So useful.
@vestralux Superb, thank you for the share, which will be sent to other group members. When I first leafed through it, I thought it would just be a few pages but the workbook is nearly as lengthy as a regular read. Something about that discovery speaks to me about the timely significance of this ritual of intention right when the world is pivoting.
@frank your Parable of the PAC MAN is a fantastic and classic post
I hope @jeanne-mayell will put on the Hall of fame board of posts we want to remember. Actually, the one you wrote before about fear is as well. Sometimes, when I read your posts I almost believe the wisdom of Yoda is speaking through you, just not in a Yoda like voice. To ponder much , you give us.
@herodreams- Thank you for your beautifully written post. SO loving. I hope this also goes into the Posts we want to remember area.
I have been touched by so many posts today. A great deal of care and thought has gone into writing them.
Thank you everyone.
@lovendures Wow, thank you! "Yoda..." High praise indeed! ? In my mind I always imagine Obi Wan's voice: "Use the Fooorce, Frank" LOL ?
Coincidentally (not!) for the past few days I’ve been having the same thoughts as you about sustained group intention with meditation and prayer. I had forgotten about the McTaggert Power of Eight post until you mentioned it. I think that’s a great idea.
What piqued my interest is something that @vestralux addressed in a couple of earlier posts -- seeing the energetic intervention that he [the Mad King] has been getting from the fervent prayers of countless American evangelicals. Their prayers for him are unceasing. As vestralux so brilliantly described it, that’s part of the reason why some of these windows for the Mad King’s departure that many of us have predicted have come and gone. Until vestralux mentioned it, I hadn’t even considered the enormous power of the evangelical’s group channeled intentional prayer. Up until that moment, I arrogantly dismissed them.
In Dan Harris’ meditation book, “10% Happier,” while he was investigating religion and spirituality in America, Harris met a charismatic and well-known evangelical preacher, Ted Haggard. Harris wrote the following about entering the enormous main room of Haggard’s church:
at the center … was a huge, spinning globe. It was meant to be sort of mission control for human communication with God, outfitted with computers, and piping in news feeds from around the planet. “We’re watching the whole world all the time for events that need to be prayed for,” he [Haggard] told me with earnest excitement. Ted was what’s called a “prayer warrior” – someone who believes in the power of targeted, “intercessory” prayer to effect real-world changes. “If there’s any indicator that there’s a problem, we notify hundreds of thousands of intercessors immediately”. (Harris, Dan. 10% Happier, HarperCollins Publishers, 2014, p 33.)
These particular evangelicals might be terribly misguided when it comes to T**** (I’m being charitable), but they are certainly passionate, confident, faithful and unwavering in their mission. That’s powerful stuff. In the memorable words of Elwood from the “Blues Brothers” movie, these prayer warriors wholeheartedly believe “We’re on a mission from God.”
I must admit, when T got into office I knew it was going to bad, but NOT this bad. Many are feeling sick, tired, fearful, and desperate. Because some things haven't been going as we predicted or as we had hoped, we can lose faith. In fact, sometimes I believe my intuitive gifts, and even the gifts of others in this community, can get in my way. What I intuit, or predictions I may read here, can give me a lot of hope, especially if there are time frames involved. So if a number of us predict that something is going to occur within a particular window of time, and that doesn’t happen, what does that say about our visions? We might lose hope that things will ever change. We may even feel foolish, thinking “how could I have been so wrong?” But our faith should not be totally dependent upon what visions we sense, hear or see. We should trust ourselves, but more importantly, we should trust our faith. And I faithfully believe, in the words of @coyote, that “the light is the ascending force.”
I know that there is a higher power. I’ve always known it. I’ve always felt it. I know that this power is there, patiently waiting for us to co-create something wonderful. We have that power within us. Can you imagine what can happen if we join forces in our intentions?

If not now, when?
