harmonic convergence 2023

Thirty years ago, New Age believers, pagans, meditation practitioners, hippies and the spiritually curious gathered at “energy centers” around the globe to let out a collective “OM.” 

The two-day event, which began on the 16th, was dubbed the Harmonic Convergence and is believed to be the first multi-national, simultaneous meditation event ever organized reports Margalit Fox at The New York Times.

The Harmonic Convergence is the name given to the world's first synchronized global peace meditation, which occurred on August 16–17, 1987. This event also closely coincided with an exceptional alignment of planets in the Solar System. 

Eight planets were aligned in an unusual configuration called a grand trine. The Sun, Moon and six out of eight planets formed part of the grand trine, that is, they were aligned at the apexes of an equilateral triangle when viewed from the Earth. 

Jesus the Christ

Most know who Jesus was, but who was the Christ? Is the word simply Jesus' last name? Too often, Rohr writes, "our understandings have been limited by culture, religious squabbling, and the human tendency to put ourselves at the center."

Jesus was called "Christ"

Father Richard Rohr is a Franciscan friar, wisdom teacher, and founder of Center for Action and Contemplation in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He founded the center because he saw a deep need for the integration of both action and contemplation.

"It took me longer to write this than any book before. I want people to recognize something that is thoroughly biblical, but never the mainline tradition. What I’m trying to say for most of you will sound very new and very different."
