'Icelandic artist to meditate in glass pyramid on Gaza streets'

Icelandic artist Snorri Asmundsson is set to visit Palestine and Israel this September with his meditation pyramid.

The stated goal of the project is to spread love and affection using meditation from the so-called Love Pyramid. It is hoped the pyramid will become a sort of ‘love battery’ which will send its charge out to all receptive souls.

The artist will meditate in his glass pyramid in several different squares and plazas in Gaza, Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

Although Asmundsson will use his performance art to meditate and pray for peace; his pyramid will nonetheless be made from bulletproof glass. The whole trip will be recorded by filmmaker Fridrik Gudmundsson, who will make a documentary on the subject.

You just get the impression that this won't end well.

Here's the love pyramid doing its funky thing.

Why wouldn't it end well, he's protected by bullet proof glass. He'll be grand.

Ha, love the bullet proof glass bit.
Reminds of a quote i read (from someone i forget) about the pope, actually claiming to be the direct representative of an omnipotent being but still feeling the need to stand behind 6 inches of plexi glass in his little pimped out golf cart!

Yeah, but is it Israeli missile-proof?

Meditating for hours in a pyramid can't be too good for your back.

By the time he's done he'll be needing a cairopractor.

Isn't it the always the way though? Spreading love using a big pointy thing. Think about it.

In fairness, the last pope was shot in exactly that situation.
If they didn't put in safeguards and someone tried again and succeeded, we have more people giving out how careless they were.

Nobody claims they are immortal, that's what Ash Wednesday,
