“200220022002 is not about a beautiful sequence of numbers, it is a calling from a higher consciousness.” - Sunflower Chong

Many people have asked, why 200220022002 is so special? It is so very special because instead of seeing it as just a beautiful sequence of numbers, it is a calling to stop all these madness and to restore a sense of peace. On top of it, this unique number is an opportunity to mark World Harmony Day as A Catalyst for Change. That was how the idea of a 2 minutes Peace Silence came about - I minute to focus on World Peace the 2nd minute to focus on Our Own Peace. The proposal to the world leaders, calling for World Harmony Day was born on 11-11-2001.

In ancient tradition that dates from the dawn of time, the magical night is an exceptional night. It is cosmic night when the visible and material world is in harmony with the spiritual world. In other words, an ideal night for communicating with the spiritual forces which surrounds us. These supernatural forces are able to help people who request them to. This ancient practice-several thousand years old-symbolizes the confidence and wisdom of that our ancestors had in the supernatural and cosmic forces bringing happiness on earth. For the spiritual forces to be able to work, the person requesting their help needs to be doing so only for the good.

It is also a known fact that in the Chinese astrology that the 21st century is represented by the Moon. Moon represents Harmony with the number 2. And in this century the Sun and Moon will meet (I am born on 20-1-1955) The date 20 in numerological (2+0 = 2) means Harmony. On 10-1-2002 at 9.00pm, I went to the Fountain of Wealth at Suntec City and make a wish for World Harmony Day to be a reality.

As Chinese, I still hold dearly to the wisdom of our ancestors. It was a belief that by doing something positive especially to uplift humanity, like calling for World Harmony Day would be a salvation of our souls. We really hope our action will enlighten the world about the importance of not taking peace for granted. Because of our total belief in the spiritual power and with our hard work, World Harmony Day had become a reality.
