Random Event Generators And The Global Consciousness Project
The Global Consciousness Project utilizes random event generators (REGs) in an effort to tap a postulated human consciousness field that may encircle the Earth. The REGs have been operating in the background, all around the world, for seven years running.
This project is a multidisciplinary collaboration among approximately 100 scientists, engineers, artists and others, to study the effects of consciousness and how it interacts with physical systems.
REGs use computer technology to generate ones and zeros in random sequences. The numbers are printed on a graph. The laws of chance dictate that equal numbers of ones and zeros should be churned out, represented by a nearly flat line on the graph. Any deviation would show as a curve or a spike.
Testing
During the late 70s, Prof Jahn carried out tests to determine whether the power of human thoughts could impact on the output of an REG. Test subjects were asked to direct their minds on the machine.
The results were astonishing. Ordinary people, using their thoughts or intention, could influence the REG. It responded by spitting out unequal numbers of ones or zeros, producing significant fluctuations on the graph.
Dr Nelson enlarged on Prof Jahn’s work by taking the machines to group meditations. Once again, dramatic shifts were seen in the patterns of numbers.
Dr Nelson connected 40 REGs to his laboratory computer in Princeton. On September 6, 1997, the graph catapulted upwards; his machines reported a huge deviation from the norm. That day, an estimated one billion people around the world watched the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, at Westminster Abbey.
In 1998, Dr Nelson gathered together scientists from all corners of the globe to analyze the phenomenon. Subsequently, the Global Consciousness Project was born.
Fast Facts
* Data has been collected since 1998.
* The network embodies 65 host sites around the world.
* Data is transmitted to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA.
* The data comprises a database of synchronized parallel sequences of random numbers.
The Objective
* To determine if the REGs show a deviation when major events impact on many people.
* The REGs will ultimately demonstrate the validity and presence of consciousness in the world.
Interestingly, when a significant event occurs, the REGs display patterns that should not exist in random sequences. This was noted with 9/11 and the tsunami that rocked the Indian Ocean.
Certain events even appear to have been predicted by the generators! Preceding 9/11, a bizarre spike of non-random activity was noted 4 hours before the attacks on the Twin Towers.
Investigators have examined the REGs’ output before, during, and after highly focused group events, such as the Academy Awards or New Year’s celebrations. When millions of people share similar emotions or intentions, this outpouring shows a correlation in regard to non-random activity in the REGs.
The results suggest that mind and matter are linked in some fashion-that human consciousness can indeed influence, with resultant non-random fluctuations in streams of truly random data.
If this is true, it would explain psychic ability. If consciousness can be tapped into and also transmitted, then precognitive ability and telepathy, remote viewing and remote influencing become believable and tenable.
