This project was inspired by the work of Dion Fortune, founder of the Society of the Inner Light in England. During World War II she led a group of individuals in a technique she referred to as "mind working," a structured meditation activity that involved a concerted effort to help "maintain the strength and resilience ... of the nation."
At the time her work was controversial, for she made the decision to open this activity up to others not initiated into her society. Seldom before had a "secret" society allowed non-initiates to learn their esoteric principles and methods. But she recognized the gravity of the situation facing her country and knew it would take such an effort to marshal the assistance it needed.
Dion Fortune believed the key to the group's success involved the opening of "a channel of communication between the physical plane and the inner planes." In other words, they effected a conduit, a means of realizing here on earth the spiritual influences that invisibly govern our world. In this project we will be doing the same. We hope to bring to bear on our nation the spiritual forces allied with the principles and values on which we believe this country was founded.
For those who want to learn more about Dion Fortune's work, it is described in a book titled, "The Magical Battle of Britain." Unfortunately, it is no longer in print, but I will be posting relevant excerpts from the book as the project goes on.
The Meditation Project began in August 2008 as a non-partisan way to bring more honesty, integrity, and ethics into the U.S. election process. It continues to serve by working to elevate these same qualities in our government and the people of this nation through weekly focused prayer and meditation. Newcomers are asked to please read the following 3 archived posts from August 2008: "Project Background," "General Instructions," and "Instructions for Meditating at Alternate Dates or Times."

"A Tiny Ripple of Hope"
"Few will have the greatness to bend history, but each of us can work to change a small portion of the events, and then the total -- all of these acts -- will be written in the history of this generation...It is from numberless diverse acts of courage such as these that the belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
The above quote was from Robert F. Kennedy's Day of Affirmation Address at the University of Capetown, South Africa on June 6, 1966.
