 While countless people in the Western world are embracing
mystical practices such as
Yoga, Reiki, and contemplative
meditation, most of them have probably not yet heard of the
Oneness Movement - but that is likely going to change. The
Oneness Movement is
a fast growing effort to bring the
Oneness Blessing to
millions of people around the world with the hope of changing
people's consciousness and thus the state of the planet. This
Oneness experience takes place when a Oneness Blessing giver
places his or her hands on a person's head (although it can also
be bestowed through eye contact or even simple intention), and a
sense of awakening into oneness is imparted.
According to a recent article in Natural Awakenings
magazine, the Oneness Blessing is:
"...essentially a transfer of intelligent or divine energy
from a Blessing giver to a Blessing receiver - the intention
of which is meant to catalyze a realization of oneness with
all forms of life on the planet, including the planet itself
... and it is from this point that an evolutionary awakening
in consciousness takes place."2
Today, there are 1300 trained Blessing givers in the US alone,
with that number growing steadily. There are 12,000 currently in
India. We believe that people are being prepared to accept the
Oneness Blessing through the massive growth and popularity of
practices such as Yoga and Reiki, which have been plowing the
soil for greater acceptance of mysticism in the mainstream
culture.
When one looks at the Oneness movement, you can see the
potential for an even greater surge of spiritual transformation.
There seems to be an incremental increase in the scope and
intensity of the spiritual momentum that is driving New Age
consciousness. It is estimated that tens of millions have
already received the Oneness Blessing, and it is not just in the
New Age camp:
"They [people] might be surprised to learn of numerous
religious leaders - Christian, Catholic, and Muslim among
others - who have embraced the Oneness Blessing and its
vision of helping precipitate a global shift in
consciousness."
Right now, it is set up so those interested in becoming Blessing
givers must travel to India and take a 21 day course. If a
similar center is established in the US, and/or Canada, then the
numbers can be expected to soar.
