Scientific Proof Of Global Consciousness May Be Emerging
September 11 Attacks Registered Strongly at PrincetonUniversity

Science may be on the verge of proving what the spiritual
community has claimed all along about prayer and meditation: that group
consciousness exists and it can show up on a worldwide scale.The
events in the US onSeptember 11 provided the latest indications of this
possibility, when devices around the world registered significant
anomalies before, during and for some time after the attacks.
As yet, scientists are not exactly sure what their results
mean, but they do admit that something significant has occurred - and
it has done so in similar circumstances before.
The 38 devices - called "eggs" -- are located around the
world. 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 http://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 (September) 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 unequivocal . . . 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, weconfront a
still deeper mystery .. . . 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 9/11/01. We do not know how, but it appears thatthe 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
cherence. 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 5:30 and 5:35 p.m. (Greenwich Mean Time) on 1/23.97 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 ofphilosophers.
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.
