These eggs >generate random data continuously and send it for archiving and analysis to >a special central location at Princeton University. They�re known as Random >Number Generators (RNG). To use an analogy familiar to most people through >trips to the doctor, the network is like an EEG for the planet. >The RNGs are the brainchild of scientists at Princeton University, who have >been operating since the late 1990s ongoing research called the Global >Consciousness Project (GCP). > >�The underlying motivation for this work�, reports the GCP�s web site at >www.noosphere.princeton.edu/ , �is to discover whether there is evidence >for >an anomalous interaction driving the eggs to non-random behavior. In a >metaphoric sense, we are looking for evidence of a developing global >consciousness that might perceive and react to events with deep meaning.� >On September 11, �The whole world reeled in disbelief and horror as the >news >of the terrorist attack and the unspeakable tragedy unfolded. The egg >network registered an unmistakable and profound response.� >That morning, data that normally flows randomly suddenly began to register >distinct concentrations in pattern, like a peak on a graph. Extreme >deviations began �before the first World Trade Center tower was hit and >continu(ed) for nearly three days, to the end of (Septemebr) 13th. The >anomalous trend began at about 4 a.m. EST on September 11. >Scientists at the GCP are unready to commit to what this means exactly. �We >cannot explain the presence of stark patterns in data that should be >random,� they report, but they also state, �the results of our analyses are >unequivocalS..There is an important and uniquely powerful message here. >When >we ask why the disaster in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania should >appear to be responsible for a strong signal in our world-wide network of >instruments designed to generate random noise, there is no obvious answer. >When we look carefully and discover that the egg�s might reflect our shock >and dismay even before our minds and hearts express it, we confront a still >deeper mysteryS.We do not know if there is such a thing as a global >consciousness, but if there is, it was moved by the events of September 11, >2001. We do not know how, but it appears that the coherence and intensity >of >our common reaction created a sustained pulse of order in the random flow >of >numbers from our instruments. These patterns where there should be none >look >like reflections of our concentrated focus, as the riveting events drew us >from our individual concerns and melded us into an extraordinary coherence. >Maybe we became, briefly a global consciousness.� >The RNG�s have shown deviations from the norm on at least one major world >event before � the death of Princess Diana. They also registered some >deviations from random patterns during a global meditation organized by the >Gaiamind Project, designed for the five minutes between 17:30 and 17:35 >Greenwich Mean Time on January 23, 1997 to coincide with an unusual >astronomical conjunction. > >However, the RNGs registered no anomalies during the funeral of Mother >Teresa, which came shortly after Princess Diana�s. The RNGs also registered >no anomalies during an attempt to replicate the January 23, 1997 Global >Meditation. It seems that the events that register significant deviations >from random �share a common feature, namely, that they engage our attention >and draw us in large numbers into a common focus.� >Professor Mike Perry, Ph.D, a mathematician and statistician in the Math >Department of ASU works a lot with random numbers. He said that, while he >doesn�t know anything about the Global Consciousness Group, the fact it�s >from Princeton gives it a �basis for legitimacy,� and the results �are kind >of interesting.� > >�Some people might think this is just nonsense,� he said, �but I�m not >skeptical of anything until it is proved or disproved. It�s the first time >I�ve seen anything like this. There are lots of different kinds of >explanations for things, but the actual explanation of this is beyond the >realm of mathematics and statistics.� He suggested it might belong more to >the realm of philosophers. > >Could the effect that appeared on the RNGs during the attack be similar to >the effect that occurs when people pray together? Fr. Rick Lawler, Parish >Priest of St. Mary of the Hills Episcopal Church in Blowing Rock said, �I >feel that when we are involved in prayer we are opening to the sacred, to >what the Christian community calls God and to each other in ways that may >have been closed off or frozen to each other. The more people who pray >together, the greater the impact. > >�I can�t say anything about the experiment or the numbers, but I would like >to believe that (the effect of prayer) could be measured.� >If what�s being measured does indeed prove the existence of group >consciousness, such a result could be of major significance. If more >generally known and accepted, groups worldwide could begin consciously and >deliberately to choose to focus their thoughts, emotions and energies >towards the achievement of a single intention worldwide. >Henry Reed, Ph.D., Senior Fellow at the Edgar Cayce Institute for Intuitive >Studies, who also teaches at Ancient Wisdom in Boone, said, �This study is >adding to a growing body of evidence that a group of people, setting their >intent and working in consciousness alone, can have an impact world wide. > > >�2001 The Mountain Times.
