Economic and Social Tipping Points: The peace game envisions 40 million global participants by 2030 - a tipping point that can radically change collective belief systems and social norms.
Supporting Abundance and Love: Contributions towards groups facilitating harmony bolster a spirit of abundance, while prayers and visualization for peace amplify spiritual energy.
Faith and Mobilization: Faith in the collective capacity for change culminates in inviting others to join the peace game, thus building a movement toward the envisioned golden age.
