  1. Gathering Global Awareness Are we seeing a Consciousness Field? Yellow dots are nodes in the network http://noosphere.princeton.eduRoger Nelsonrdnelson@princeton.edu

  2. The EGG Project(aka the Global Consciousness Project) International collaboration 75 Scientists, Artists, Friends, … Network of host sites world wide The tools: REG technology, Field application Make an EEG for the earth, an ElectroGaiaGram Identify engaging moments of global events The question: Can we capture a Glimmering of Global Consciousness?

  3. When you put a thing in order, and give it a name, and you are all in accord, it becomes.- - From the Navajo, Masked Gods, Waters, 1950

  4. The technology is only now availableElectronics, Computers, Networking REG/RNG devices run continuously Synchronized computers and software Internet transfer of data to central server Automatic archiving, public access Formal analyses and explorations Background, methods, poetic history

  5. A Random Event Generator (REG or RNG) Mindsong REG Orion RNG

  6. How it works: Here’s 1000 Trials Each trial is the sum of 200 bitsLike flipping 200 coins and counting heads

  7. The binomial distribution of 1000 200-bit trials, compared with Theoretical normal distribution 100 is expected

  8. What happens in such data over time?Plot cumulative deviation from expectation Should be a Random Walk (a “Drunkard’s Walk”) A General Case GCP Standard Analysis

  9. Laboratory Experiments, PEAR:Intention to change the REG behavior High and Low both depart from expectation HI BL LO

  10. Field REG Experiments: No Intentions We simply collect data in the situationWe find departures from expectation Queens Chamber Grand Gallery Kings Chamber

  11. Departures from expectation correlate with Coherent or Resonant group consciousnessDeeply engaging ideas and emotions

  12. The next step: A prototype collaborationColleagues in Europe and the US Collected 12 independent data streams

  13. How About a Global Network?Might we see Effects of Engaging Events?Natural disastersTerrible accidentsThe beginning of warThe Pope’s pilgrimageGrand celebrations Political excitementAstrological hot spotsWorld-wide meditations

  14. A network of “eggs” around the world: A computer, special software, an REG/RNG

  15. Internet transfer of data to Princeton Here we see the combined dataFor a whole day, from 48 eggs

  16. We can see better what’s happening by Plotting the cumulative deviations (c2- df) Correlation Tilts … Variance Spreads

  17. Combine all eggs and plot cumulative deviation May show a trend if there is a common Influence or correlation among the eggs (c2- df)

  18. When we make a composite across eggs, the cumulative deviation may show a trend

  19. Maybe a trend in the cumulative Deviation is Meaningful?

  20. So far, sporting events seem Not to produce big deviations

  21. The Pope’s 6-day pilgrimage to the middle eastAn occasion of hope for resolution of differences

  22. Political events, even big ones, are not necessarily of interest to the EGG Clinton Impeachment Acquittal

  23. We’ll try anything once. Significant correlations with astrologically determined “hot” times

  24. Tearing the Social Fabric Terrorists Attack Civilians and Diplomats Nato Bombs Kosovo to End Ethnic CleansingTaliban Destroy Ancient Buddhist TreasureSeptember 11 Enters History of the Earth

  25. Major disasters that engage us powerfullyOften correlate with big deviations

  26. Context explorations: Six hours of dataAround the beginning of bombing in KosovoCumulative deviation of Zs2 or c2

  27. The Buddhas of Bamiyan After Before March 12 2001

  28. The destruction of a world treasureApproximate time, noon in Afghanistan noon

  29. The World Trade Center Fall, 2001 Carol M. Highsmith Al Dove

  30. The World Trade Center September 11 2001 Tamara Beckwith

  31. The destruction of the World Trade TowersSept 11 2001 A 50-hour trend followed the attacks

  32. Sept 11 prediction: Inter-egg Variance will fluctuate Red is real data, Green is Pseudorandom

  33. Autocorrelation on Sept 11Structure where there should be none Calculations: Peter Bancel

  34. What is there to say?

  35. Repairing, Restoring The Social FabricHealingMeditationsPrayer VigilsCeremoniesHolidays

  36. Chicago, Moment of Silence September 14 2001

  37. Three Minutes of Silence September 14 2001

  38. Focused Siddhi Meditations September 23 to 27, 2001 Peak Day, Maximum Numbers

  39. Synchronized Johrei Ceremonies Around the World, April 1 2001

  40. Four Million People Pilgrimage For Ritual and Prayer

  41. A Substantial Agreement on Getting Our Ecological Act Together

  42. Natural Disasters And Accidents Earthquakes, Floods Planes, Trains, Ships

  43. The Great Earthquake in Turkey August 17 1999 Standard Analysis US vs Europe, Bierman Variance Analysis, Bierman

  44. Volcano in Nairobi January 17 2002

  45. Typhoon in Orissa, India October 29 1999

  46. The Concorde Crash July 25 2000

  47. The Kursk Submarine Disaster August 12 2000

  48. Train Crash in India August 2 2001 All Eggs, 4 hrs Nearby Eggs, 1.5 hrs

  49. The Lighter Side Celebrations: What better example than New Years?

  50. And again for last year. The pattern is replicated for the third time. Global Attention: Sharing New Year’s Eve All over the world, people celebrate the change to a New Year. Since 1998, we have recorded data from a network of physical random event generators (called “eggs”). Here we look at what happens at midnight around the world. The scientific prediction is that there will be a pattern of increased correlation among the eggs. We test for trends away from the expected “random walk”. We have learned to expect reductions in the variation across the eggs. The figures on this page almost speak for themselves. They are pictures of our engagement with each other. We predicted the same pattern for the following year. Then, for the infamous Y2K transition, we looked at a measure of the variability among the eggs and predicted it would decrease as we all focused on midnight. Variance Drop, Midnight, 1999-2000 In the first year, 1998-1999, we looked for a change in the average deviation, and compared Maxi- and Mini-celebration time zones.
