I have a very interesting story to add to that.
In Glastonbury at the Chalice Well at 3 o’clock in the afternoon a little bell rings to announce the ‘silent minute’.
The ‘silent minute’ was first introduced in this country during the Second World War at the suggestion of Wellesley Tudor Pole to Churchill. The idea was at 9 o’clock at night they would be a minute of silence for everyone to pray for peace. I’m not sure if they were given direction as to what to pray for or focus on (I can’t remember the exact details) but this continued from 1940 to 1961. So millions of people every night at 9 o’clock would pray for peace or whatever was required.
The story goes that after the War a senior Nazi said at the trials that they had underestimated the power of the silent minute.

Silent Minute
The Silent Minute was an historic movement begun in the United Kingdom by Major Wellesley Tudor Pole O.B.E. in 1940. It continues today as a London-based charity following its revival by Dorothy Forster. During the Second World War people would unite in meditation…

“Today I saw her with my eyes.
My queen all bathed in radiance.
Rejoicing, my heart stopped beating.
This happened at the golden light of dawn,
A miracle divine.
All earthly desire vanished,
Seeing her alone, her alone, only her.”
― Vladimir Solovyev, Today I Saw Her
Notes: Russian philosopher Vladimir Solovyev (1853-1900) emerged as the great prophet of the Sophia tradition in Russia. He accomplished much in his short life in bringing Sophianic philosophy to the Russian people. On Ascension Day in 1862 when Solovyev was just nine years old he had a profound vision of the Divine Sophia which set him on a journey of discovery and wonder.
The Divine Sophia is the central idea in Solovyev’s philosophy. Solovyev saw Sophia as the soul of the world, having three aspects, which allow her to unify, connect, and direct everything. From various key clues within his short poem, we can infer that Solovyev was witness to the Wisdom Goddess.
