Meditation on Consciousness

Abstract

This study evaluates the idea that consciousness is creating an influence on the environment in a way that makes random systems (Random Number Generator – RNG) become more ordered.  This evaluation is combined with an exploration of two, potentially, influencing factors: distance from the target and awareness of the target.  The experimental procedure was based upon data derived from meditating groups where experimental data (during meditation) was compared with the control data (pre-meditation).  Comparison was also made between awareness and non-awareness groups (participants were aware/non-aware of the RNG).  This allowed the influencing factor of the participants’ awareness to be tested.  The factor of distance has been tested by applying a second RNG.  The first machine (local) was positioned in the room with the meditators while the second machine (distant) was positioned away from that point.  Results showed completely random data for the non-awareness group (both control and experimental periods) while the awareness group produced significant data in the experimental periods of the local machine and random data in the distant machine.  It is suggested that awareness of the PK (psychokinesis) target and distance from the PK target could be influencing factors in the way consciousness might be influencing a random environment.
