Can ‘Good Intentions’ Save Lake Atitlan From Sure Cyanobacteria Death?

If channeled the right way, a group of scientists say: ‘yes’!

The world is filled with millions of good intentions, but still the world seems to be spiraling downward into a sea of chaos.

In the case of Lake Atitlan, the sea of chaos has turned into much ado about toxic cyanobacteria.

The green algae outbreak last year that covered 85 per cent of the surface of the 30,000 acre lake, has people scrambling for answers before it’s too late.

Since everybody concerned is searching, why not put those millions of good intentions to work?

What do we have to lose? Although it sounds a bit too “New Age” when times are desperate, the desperate will try anything.

And according to author Lynn McTaggart of The Intention Experiment and a group of scientists, good intentions directed in the right way can lead to practical results instead of just a lot of hot air.

“The Intention Experiment is a series of scientifically controlled, web-based experiments testing the power of intention to change the physical world,” wrote McTaggart, author of the top selling book, The Intention Experiment “Thousands of volunteers from 30 countries around the world have participated in Intention Experiments thus far.

McTaggart is the architect of the experiments which have included trying to reduce pollution at other lakes like Atitlan in an effort to harness thousands of good intentions at a certain designated time to bring about positive results.

She is working with physicists and psychologists from the University of Arizona, Princeton University, the International Institute of Biophysics, Cambridge University and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.These experiments are being run at McTaggart’s seminars and conferences and on the web, and have produced extraordinary results.To read the rest of this article subscribe now!
