How do we know this won't work?
Just think of all the people that pray to "God" and nothing ever happens nor does "God" ever show up. They've been praying now for thousands if not hundreds of thousands or millions of years to these Gods and this God. Still, the only thing of significance that ever comes from a Human Being is when it stops praying and takes up responsibility for itself and its planet and makes physical action its substitute for sitting in a dark room with hands crossed sending telepathic messages to an invisible deity.

was this date picked because of the Lyrids meteor shower is due then?
Every year in late April Earth passes through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher (C/1861 G1), and the encounter causes a meteor shower--the Lyrids. This year the shower peaks on April 22nd and 23rd.
The best time to look, no matter where you live, is during the hours before dawn on Sunday April 22nd and Monday April 23rd. If you wake before 2 am and watch the sky until sunrise, you can expect to see at least a dozen meteors.

Wow, so many of the posts in this thread are mondo patronising. Fine, you sceptics are so much cleverer than the rest of us and it can't possibly be that the universe is based on principles that don't conform to your logic which is merely an overgrowth of binary language systems and an imposition of a very limited regime of truth that was created by human intelligence, itself bound by physiological and linguistic norms.

Of course, this whole 'international dateline' thing has me all confused. I don't know which hemisphere is being referenced in the date.
. I tend to have the same problem. I just take the first moment of a day anywhere on this world untill the last moment of the same day anywhere on the world. Keeps it from getting confusing .
i certainly believe in the power of the mind. and i also agree that the motivation of the heart or the true condition of the hear (which is the seat of the mind, will and emotions) tells the mind what to do. ah, yes, the secrets of the heart has everything to do with this.

This thread is just a message of what could happen if people put their hearts to it. There's no making anything up. If nothing happens that will be because there are too many cold hearts out there that aren't warm enough. That's the sad part, not enough humans believe this, that would be the only reason it wouldn't be manifested
..... but we can wake up and change that
Believe

Actually, I know of plenty of people who claim to have gotten very real results through prayer, gnosis and other mystical rituals which look silly to outsiders. I myself feel as though I've had some of my prayers answered. A common misconception of faith is that it somehow allows the believer to hang up personal responsibility or conscience - in most of the devout people I know (of any religion), I find the opposite to be true, and there is an invigorated concern for how one's actions affect the people and world around oneself.
