THE MERIDIAN WAVE


The Meridian Wave

POWER TO THE PEACEFUL!

“There is no power on earth that can withstand the united cooperation on spiritual levels of men and women of goodwill…”  Wellesley Tudor Pole

There is one very easy and enjoyable thing that everyone could participate in and include in our daily routines to help combat the fear, anxiety and negativity in the world today, and that is to observe a minute’s silence at midday every day, based on The Big Ben Silent Minute.* Its simplicity belies the enormous potential it has to bring about profound beneficial changes to the world, to embed peace in our hearts and minds and to promote harmonious relations between people of all ethnicities & faiths.

The esoteric knowledge of this self-embedding wave of energy was reputedly used by Winston Churchill during World War II, an initiative of Major Tudor Pole after an epiphany he’d had to help bring an end to the war. Over the airwaves, he implored the people of Great Britain as they were gathered around their radios to listen to the 9 pm news, to collectively pray in silence for the minute that the broadcasted chimes of Big Ben were striking the hour. Everyone participated, millions of people fervently praying for the war to be over and their sons returned to them safe & sound. After the war, Nazi records noted that “the Britons had a secret weapon connected to Big Ben" - they never uncovered the nature of this weapon!  

Synchronised meditation is an ancient tradition in many cultures that goes back thousands of years. It is understood that the power of prayer is greatly magnified when people synchronise their passion and will and attune to the same intention at the same time. The theory suggests that energy produced from this combined willpower would generate a self-embedding roll of energy (aka Ouroborus, the snake eating its own tail symbolising an eternal cycle of renewal) that would create a wave around the planet, overcoming all negativity and bringing peace & harmony to all in its path.

Today it is needed more than ever to overcome the low vibrational negativity, cynicism, fear & hatred many people harbour within them, unwittingly spreading mind & environmental pollution and violence that disregards all living things. All this darkness & disease might be neutralised if we all participate in this daily exercise, Matrix style, our united body channelling high-vibrational love, compassion and understanding, humanity working together as one, all of equal value, transcending race or religious persuasion. We could create a veritable tsunami of pure love and bliss, overcoming all obstacles, lifting spirits and healing all in its path.

Maintaining peace will then allow us to devote our energies to urgent priorities, such as adapting our societies to cope with extreme weather events, catastrophes, environmental & climatic changes. With our time and energy freed up and focussed, hundreds of species and entire ecosystems currently in danger of extinction could be restored back into balance & re-invigorated.

I truly believe that if millions of people synchronised their goodwill and prayers at the same time every day, it would set up a roll of energy that will bring lasting peace everywhere on Earth. Every city, town and village could observe this simple ritual as 12 o’clock rolls slowly round the planet, the radiance from each one adding to this unstoppable force of nature, increases in power with every human settlement and with every additional mind focussing and contributing.   

TV and radio stations could help by remaining silent for one minute at midday. There could be a Meridian Wave app (which I would be delighted to help set up) or even a dedicated TV channel, to coordinate synchronisation in each big city as midday flows around the globe.

This is what many people are already doing, and this is what we can all do, starting tomorrow, by just being mindful for one minute at noon each day, and meditating on a world at peace… our ‘secret weapon’ against negativity connected to the Meridian.
 
Peace will come.

The Silent Minute, Wikipedia

The Silent Minute was an historic movement begun in the United Kingdom by Major Wellesley Tudor Pole O.B.E. in 1940. It continues today as a London-based charity following its revival by Dorothy Forster. During the Second World War people would unite in meditation, prayer or focus (each according to their own belief) and consciously will for peace to prevail. This dedicated minute received the direct support of King George VI, Sir Winston Churchill and his Parliamentary Cabinet. It was also recognized by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt and observed on land and at sea on the battlefields, in air raid shelters and in hospitals. With Churchill’s support, the BBC, on Sunday, November 10, 1940, began to play the bells of Big Ben on the radio as a signal for the Silent Minute to begin.

The idea was developed in Britain in the Second World War, initially from an idea by Major Wellesley Tudor Pole. People were asked to devote one minute of prayer for peace at nine o’clock each evening. He said: “There is no power on earth that can withstand the united cooperation on spiritual levels of men and women of goodwill everywhere. It is for this reason that the continued and widespread observance of the Silent Minute is of such vital importance in the interest of human welfare.”

The Silent Minute began in 1940 during The Blitz on the UK when Major Wellesley Tudor-Pole perceived  ‘an inner request from a high spiritual source that there be a Silent Minute of Prayer for Freedom’, at 9pm each evening during the striking of Big Ben. If enough people joined in this gesture of dedicated intent, the tide would turn and the invasion of England would be diverted. [2] Tudor-Pole went to the King and Prime Minister with his request and won both their support.

An anecdote emphasizes the profound power of the group meditation of the Silent Minute. In 1945 a British intelligence officer was interrogating a high Nazi official. He asked him why he thought Germany lost the war. His reply was, “During the war, you had a secret weapon for which we could find no counter measure, which we did not understand, but it was very powerful. It was associated with the striking of the Big Ben each evening. I believe you called it the ‘Silent Minute.’[3][4]

The Silent Minute was revived by Dorothy Forster and gained a new following of people after the 9/11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the commencement of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It continues as a small charitable organisation based in London, but with a worldwide list of participants. Some people had continued the habit of the 9 p.m. prayer ever since the Second World War, but diverting their focus to the different areas of the World wherever there were conflicts currently ongoing. Apart from these few people, the practice had been largely forgotten by the British public for almost half a century until it was revived.

The trustees maintain that there is always war going on somewhere in the World and that uniting in a collective will for peace may have some beneficial effect for humankind, whether or not there is any direct effect upon the conflict. At the heart of the effort there is a community united from people of all ages, races and backgrounds, and a focus on our collective humanity and the benefits of peace in society.

The Silent Minute does not have any political affiliations and receives no funding, but runs entirely on donations from the general public.

COMMUNITY GARDEN and RESIDENTIAL PERMACULTURE Design

DESIGN for an off-grid TINY HOME RESIDENTIAL SETTLEMENT and community garden under PERMACULTURE PRINCIPLES


I have designed this settlement as somewhere I would love to live myself, informed by 30 years of experience living in small spaces and setting up a number of permaculture gardens. It can be adapted to a homeless shelter with on-site employment in the garden, an aged care facility with the garden providing peace, gentle exercise and nutrition (raised beds would feature and wheelchair access), and just about any other configuration of lifestyle choice. The design is basically the same for urban community gardens for unemployed people, without the residences of course. My advice to state and local governments is to fund these urban community gardens according to need where unemployment is high. This will provide benefits all round with local business supplying and building the infrastructures, and local nurseries supplying the stock. Eventually the gardens will be self-supporting with their own nurseries.   

Tall, secure fencing all around is a very important part of the design due to future social instability which will be inevitable with worsening climate change. Each corner of the site is layer-planted with a food forest of fruits, nuts and vines. The four corners of the fence are planted with a wide variety of topiary fruits and nuts, and just thick vines where the houses are close to the fence to give each home a lovely view of greenery through their large living room windows.

Gas and water will be connected but no electricity other than perhaps for the community area and the caretakers’ residence. Gas will be used for cooking, heating and refrigeration. An off-grid rural/remote settlement would use gas bottles. All the buildings have solar panels on flat roofs feeding into the main battery bank in the community rooms via a micro-grid. Small wind turbines around the outside could also feed into the grid. Each house will have a rainwater tank, and larger ones for the community and caretakers area. No sewerage connection – all buildings have compost toilets of varying design to suit.

Wet compost, ie kitchen scraps, discarded fruits, will go either to the worm farm or into the large  central ‘keyhole’ garden, where it continually breaks down and feeds that fenced off garden. The ‘hot’ compost is kept in a row of bins – these piles are perfect to compost aggressive weeds as the heat generated within them will destroy seed and any pathogens. A mulcher will supercharge the process. The clearing around the community area could also have a fire-pit for night time gatherings.
 
Each tiny home will have a full-length sliding window on the side facing the fence with a narrow balcony, to give a maximum view of the forest a feeling of space. An extended wall along the left will provide privacy. Another wider balcony runs along the length of the building with a retractable washing line.
