Has anyone else using Project One World been experiencing an increase in personal feelings of peace?

I know that I have. At first I was attributing it to some other Modules I am using, but then I re-read the description of the Project One World Module-

Project 1 World | The Power of Intention | Projects

Our current project addresses bringing Peace to our Planet. Growing from Individuals, to Families...

I believe that this module is having a definite affect on me personally, and I also see it in my family.

I cannot put my finger on any specific effects in my community, however, it must be having a ripple effect.

Anyone else observing similar benefits?

Yes

I noticed it a couple times starting shortly after the peace project topic started.

After that it seems to have had a subtle build to now, when I feel pretty darn

I've noticed this too but is hard to pinpoint. I've been on the Unconditional Love module for almost 2 months and notice that I'm on a lot more gentle and peaceful vibe. I'm a lot more at ease in the moment with different situations that I would usually let myself react to but a lot of that went away. I don't mean being complacent...just more peaceful beingness in the moments. There is probably a synergy between them.

Congratulations volunteers in Maryland's Congressional District 1! The Department of Peace and Nonviolence legislation has its first (and certainly not its last) Republican cosponsor.

Congressman Wayne Gilchrest has signed on as a cosponsor of HR 808. Congressman Gilchrest, a 9th term Republican serving Maryland's 1st District, brings our total number of cosponsors, including the bill's author, to 70 (former cosponsor Al Wynn of Maryland resigned in June). You can read the full list of cosponsors here.

Please thank Congressman Gilchrest today. His contact information is below.

Congressman Gilchrest has been well known as a moderate Republican for many years, often rising above politics and partisanship to support that which he believes best serves the nation and his constituents.

He's also a decorated Vietnam veteran. From his web site:

"After graduating high school in 1964, he joined the U.S. Marine Corps. His tour of duty saw action during the invasion of the Dominican Republic, and ultimately the Vietnam War. He earned the rank of Sergeant in Vietnam, where as a platoon leader, he was wounded in the chest.

"Wayne was decorated with the Purple Heart, Bronze Star, and Navy Commendation Medal. Today he is a member of the American Legion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and Military Order of the Purple Heart."

There's one small cloud to this silver lining that you should be aware of: Congressman Gilchrest lost his recent Republican primary bid to a candidate who spoke to the concerns of the more conservative Republicans in his district.

This in no way diminishes the significance of this important news! It is a reminder, however, that we must continue to work diligently to expand bipartisan support of the legislation and the campaign. As we know and as Congressman Gilchrest clearly understands, peace is not a partisan issue.
