At its fifty-third session, the General Assembly proclaimed the period 2001-2010 as the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-Violence for the Children of the World (resolution 53/25), and adopted the Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace (resolution 53/243).
The General Assembly of the United Nations proclaimed the 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence.
The Global Mental Action
"Connecting Project"
As we all know very well, the general situation on planet Earth is grievous and worrying. We believe that all of us share the will to better, improve and heal it. The tension and differences among cultures, religions, nations and countries is leading and might lead again to wars. The economic and ecological crises, the social gaps, crimes, diseases and epidemics, and mainly violence and aggression – all are waiting for us to take charge of our lives, treat and heal them, ourselves and our planet.
We understand very well that we are responsible not only for ourselves, but also for our families, neighbors, society, country and planet, and with all of whom we are intrinsically interrelated and interconnected.
In view to those facts, and for that noble cause, we have initiated
"The Connecting Project"
whose goal is to unify millions of people all over the world to perform, simultaneously a certain mindform/meditation/prayer, to the abolishment of violence and aggression from our lives, which we believe are the roots of all evil.
We believe that when at least 1% (60,000,000) of the world population, simultaneously, focus upon and think the same thought, generated with love, we can bring about the meaningful change we all desire.
Therefore we are creating this network, which intends to include all people, networks, organizations, institutes, countries and governments, via our vast means of communication, and suggest that everybody perform that action of "mind and heart", at the prefixed hour (13:12 GMT 12/12/2012).
This mind-heart action would arouse and create within all of us, a feeling of "Compassion" and tenderness, the complete opposite of violence and aggression, thus dissolving the mental and emotional ground for acts of war and destruction.
In preparation for that day and hour, and as a part of the process, we are all invited to perform, each Saturday, at 6:00 GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), a meditation that prepares us mentally and emotionally, and brings us closer to that day (see chapter c for details).
We are aware that we offer nothing completely new. Many have acted and are acting towards the benefit and healing of Planet Earth. Yet, what we wish for and do, is to call upon all individuals, groups and organizations all over the world, to unite for this single process and action only, in order to bring about the desired change, and eliminate all violent and aggressive behavior from within us. Each can spread the word among his or her members, in their own way.
In view of the above said we proclaim
A Declaration

B. Goals
1. Creating spiritual closeness among all people who care about the healing and improving our planet's condition in every area, with no regard to differences of religion, gender or race.
2. Dissolving the tension existing in the informative field of planet Earth (the Nuosphere – the collective field of human thoughts, ideas, imaginings and channelings), and balancing it by positive streams of healing thoughts, through the regular weekly and daily meditations, within the "Connecting Project" process.
3. Stopping the global processes of destruction, taking place in front of our eyes daily, caused by humanity's irresponsible actions throughout its existence.
