The Harmonic Convergence 2020

1.4 billion adults (47% of the global adult population) believe there is intelligent life beyond Earth, and that we should attempt to contact it. The Harmonic Convergence 2020 was an experiment in actually doing it.

From July 5 to July 14, 2020, Mark Sims gathered 72,000 people from 152 countries to meditate for peace and to ask for contact. 1,700 people from 38 countries reported that they did make contact, sending in hundreds of photos, videos, and testimonials about their experience.

It was an extraordinary citizen science experiment, and it was thrilling to capture the data. We ran 39 questions through the participating population and turned the results into the largest open dataset of its kind, exploring not only the question of contact but the question of what a coherent human field looks like.

We learned that people want to connect with their higher self. We learned that they dream and worry more about the future than the past. We learned that more than any other person in their life, they want to forgive themselves. We learned that news and toxic relationships drain our life force, and that music and nature replenish it.

Most of all, we learned that collective intelligence is possible, and that it is measurable when you bother to measure it.
