1 00:00:09,730 --> 00:00:07,039 thank you very much the way the Veritas 2 00:00:12,020 --> 00:00:09,740 program has now been transformed and 3 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:12,030 part of that evolved into what's called 4 00:00:16,609 --> 00:00:13,650 the wind bridge Institute will be 5 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:16,619 hearing from Julie by shell in a couple 6 00:00:23,870 --> 00:00:20,130 days on some of her work and this 7 00:00:25,609 --> 00:00:23,880 particular work is a total effects of 8 00:00:28,310 --> 00:00:25,619 spiritual energy healing intentions on 9 00:00:30,620 --> 00:00:28,320 patterns of cosmic rays and you're going 10 00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:30,630 to see that it fits within the framework 11 00:00:34,190 --> 00:00:32,910 of the previous two presentations of 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:34,200 course which is one reason why it's here 13 00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:36,690 but it's very nice because of the sum of 14 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:39,300 the phrasing including the non entropic 15 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:42,210 nature of a living systems and also 16 00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:44,610 healing and it's going to address I 17 00:00:50,740 --> 00:00:48,420 think an interesting potential mechanism 18 00:00:54,130 --> 00:00:50,750 by which the the more controversial 19 00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:54,140 normal local actions may in may occur 20 00:00:59,959 --> 00:00:57,690 via to fire a background of some of you 21 00:01:02,270 --> 00:00:59,969 may be aware of these two books which 22 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:02,280 were written for the law dians that 23 00:01:08,020 --> 00:01:04,890 discusses that reviews a lot of research 24 00:01:13,130 --> 00:01:08,030 in the area of distant attention and 25 00:01:17,510 --> 00:01:13,140 group attention effects on both humans 26 00:01:22,130 --> 00:01:17,520 and and animals and and cells and so on 27 00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:22,140 and the most of these via this kind of 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:24,110 work including I think our organization 29 00:01:30,380 --> 00:01:28,290 as we we tend not to address the the 30 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:30,390 more overt if you would spiritual 31 00:01:35,289 --> 00:01:32,490 mechanisms that might be involved in 32 00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:35,299 underlying these kinds of processes and 33 00:01:40,130 --> 00:01:37,350 probably because of research that we do 34 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:40,140 in energy hearing and also spiritual 35 00:01:44,899 --> 00:01:42,530 healing I end up talking to a lot of 36 00:01:47,060 --> 00:01:44,909 peelers and have learned some of these 37 00:01:49,999 --> 00:01:47,070 techniques myself and there are a number 38 00:01:52,810 --> 00:01:50,009 of assumptions that they make and they 39 00:01:55,700 --> 00:01:52,820 and these are common they're not 40 00:01:57,889 --> 00:01:55,710 universal in terms of assumptions but 41 00:01:59,120 --> 00:01:57,899 they are common and number one does the 42 00:02:01,880 --> 00:01:59,130 assumption that there's some sort of a 43 00:02:04,700 --> 00:02:01,890 universal source energy exists that this 44 00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:04,710 universal energy is typically invited to 45 00:02:08,469 --> 00:02:07,500 enter the mind and body of the healer or 46 00:02:10,449 --> 00:02:08,479 the prey 47 00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:10,459 they're so here is intention then 48 00:02:14,890 --> 00:02:12,620 directs this universal energy for the 49 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:14,900 code best in high as good for the 50 00:02:19,899 --> 00:02:17,290 individual Lord or organism that they're 51 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:19,909 seeking to assist and that this 52 00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:21,650 universal energy expresses some sort of 53 00:02:28,059 --> 00:02:24,140 a higher power that has a quote higher 54 00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:28,069 frequency now it's a research question 55 00:02:33,039 --> 00:02:29,180 that we asked in this particular 56 00:02:35,050 --> 00:02:33,049 experiment is as follows and that is if 57 00:02:37,660 --> 00:02:35,060 a healer intentionally directs this 58 00:02:39,789 --> 00:02:37,670 universal energy into a light-tight 59 00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:39,799 chamber containing a highly sensitive 60 00:02:44,740 --> 00:02:42,560 low-light cooled ccd camera imaging 61 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:44,750 system which is capable of detecting 62 00:02:53,619 --> 00:02:48,250 ongoing patterns of high frequency / 63 00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:53,629 cosmic rays well this is intention 64 00:02:58,750 --> 00:02:55,760 result in a measurable increase in the 65 00:03:01,960 --> 00:02:58,760 ordering of the patterns of these cosmic 66 00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:01,970 rays now how I got into this particular 67 00:03:05,740 --> 00:03:04,459 every search it would be a great journey 68 00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:05,750 but we don't have time to go through all 69 00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:07,310 that so I'm just going to go right to 70 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:08,510 the methods and the findings of this 71 00:03:13,390 --> 00:03:10,970 particular experiment this is a center 72 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:13,400 image as a picture of a the camera which 73 00:03:18,210 --> 00:03:16,010 is mounted into on a light-tight box the 74 00:03:20,879 --> 00:03:18,220 camera to the left is controlled by this 75 00:03:26,140 --> 00:03:20,889 controller and power supply this is a 76 00:03:28,750 --> 00:03:26,150 Princeton's instrument cool the camera 77 00:03:30,819 --> 00:03:28,760 system the the foot on the Left shows 78 00:03:32,949 --> 00:03:30,829 what the Box looks like when it's opened 79 00:03:35,349 --> 00:03:32,959 there's a stage the lenses inside that's 80 00:03:37,089 --> 00:03:35,359 focused of there just so happened in 81 00:03:39,039 --> 00:03:37,099 this particular picture that I took we 82 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:39,049 had a piece of stainless steel on the on 83 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:41,810 the platform and that that light that 84 00:03:44,199 --> 00:03:43,010 looks like it's floating up there is 85 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:44,209 actually an illusion created by the 86 00:03:51,099 --> 00:03:48,319 flash the that is then in a light-tight 87 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:51,109 room and adjacent to that room is a 88 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:53,209 separate smaller room which houses the 89 00:03:58,360 --> 00:03:55,970 computer system that controls us which 90 00:04:00,909 --> 00:03:58,370 is the place where the data collected 91 00:04:02,979 --> 00:04:00,919 and also the energy healing work takes 92 00:04:06,250 --> 00:04:02,989 place and when they the healing work is 93 00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:06,260 done that room was also made dark so 94 00:04:11,379 --> 00:04:08,120 that the contenders in a quiet 95 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:11,389 environment to sustain his her 96 00:04:16,210 --> 00:04:13,310 intentions now we've got a lot of 97 00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:16,220 research using this camera to measure 98 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:18,620 low light and do low light imaging of 99 00:04:22,580 --> 00:04:21,329 living systems this is one of our 100 00:04:24,110 --> 00:04:22,590 and experiments I'm doing this just to 101 00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:24,120 illustrate the sensitivity of this 102 00:04:30,860 --> 00:04:27,150 camera these are actually 15 minute 103 00:04:33,260 --> 00:04:30,870 exposures of um pieces of string beans 104 00:04:34,670 --> 00:04:33,270 that were arranged in as you can see in 105 00:04:37,969 --> 00:04:34,680 a row of 10 remember this is a 106 00:04:39,740 --> 00:04:37,979 light-tight room and the all living 107 00:04:43,820 --> 00:04:39,750 systems generated what are called bio 108 00:04:47,029 --> 00:04:43,830 photons which are from the pop group and 109 00:04:50,330 --> 00:04:47,039 others cohered patterns of light and you 110 00:04:52,939 --> 00:04:50,340 can actually uh the consequences of 111 00:04:54,529 --> 00:04:52,949 those as you can see how these these 112 00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:54,539 plants literally called glowing in the 113 00:04:58,909 --> 00:04:57,090 dark and also you'll notice that there 114 00:05:01,610 --> 00:04:58,919 are these little white spots in the in 115 00:05:06,260 --> 00:05:01,620 that left diagram those are cosmic ray 116 00:05:09,649 --> 00:05:06,270 bursts they're bursts of new ones and in 117 00:05:12,050 --> 00:05:09,659 gamma rays which are court artifacts the 118 00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:12,060 camera is not designed to measure this 119 00:05:19,459 --> 00:05:15,240 you actually remove these these bursts 120 00:05:21,170 --> 00:05:19,469 from your statistical analysis the what 121 00:05:22,580 --> 00:05:21,180 I've been down here is just amplified 122 00:05:23,719 --> 00:05:22,590 the images to show because one of the 123 00:05:26,149 --> 00:05:23,729 things we've been interested in the 124 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:26,159 question of quote auras and also the 125 00:05:29,990 --> 00:05:27,210 extent to which there are interactions 126 00:05:31,519 --> 00:05:30,000 of light among plants and you can see 127 00:05:33,379 --> 00:05:31,529 very clearly when you really increase 128 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:33,389 the gain of course do you see a lot more 129 00:05:37,659 --> 00:05:35,250 quote noise and such but you can also 130 00:05:40,939 --> 00:05:37,669 see that there are this light around the 131 00:05:43,249 --> 00:05:40,949 these are these beings and there's also 132 00:05:44,749 --> 00:05:43,259 seem to be some structure of interaction 133 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:44,759 between them again that would be a whole 134 00:05:47,209 --> 00:05:46,289 whole lecture which you don't have time 135 00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:47,219 to go through i just want you to see 136 00:05:51,709 --> 00:05:49,770 that the camera is very sensitive we use 137 00:05:54,339 --> 00:05:51,719 white background because we want the 138 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:54,349 light to be reflected back to the lens 139 00:06:01,939 --> 00:05:57,930 now in this particular experiment which 140 00:06:05,209 --> 00:06:01,949 was looking at the effects of spiritual 141 00:06:07,790 --> 00:06:05,219 energy healing intention we were using 142 00:06:09,379 --> 00:06:07,800 an empty chamber so there was nothing in 143 00:06:11,450 --> 00:06:09,389 there it was a completely black box that 144 00:06:13,269 --> 00:06:11,460 would know there were no I'm plants it 145 00:06:15,890 --> 00:06:13,279 was just just a white piece of paper 146 00:06:18,019 --> 00:06:15,900 briefly the experimental design was that 147 00:06:21,769 --> 00:06:18,029 there were a total of sixteen intention 148 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:21,779 runs eight runs or were of distant 149 00:06:27,409 --> 00:06:23,849 spiritual energy healing it was a 150 00:06:29,449 --> 00:06:27,419 particular practice of the called Joe 151 00:06:32,570 --> 00:06:29,459 ray which this practitioner was with 152 00:06:34,220 --> 00:06:32,580 skilled in his he had practice with many 153 00:06:37,250 --> 00:06:34,230 other techniques as well 154 00:06:39,350 --> 00:06:37,260 and then eight runs of what we call 155 00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:39,360 distant focused meditation controls 156 00:06:44,690 --> 00:06:41,640 because we're Justin seeing to what 157 00:06:48,980 --> 00:06:44,700 extent is it just the his intention to 158 00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:48,990 pay attention to the to the chamber son 159 00:06:52,850 --> 00:06:50,910 since he was skilled also in various 160 00:06:55,700 --> 00:06:52,860 meditation techniques we could contrast 161 00:06:57,470 --> 00:06:55,710 what happened when he engaged in the 162 00:06:59,720 --> 00:06:57,480 spiritual energy intention into the 163 00:07:02,030 --> 00:06:59,730 chamber versus simply paying attention 164 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:02,040 in his mind and visualizing the chamber 165 00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:05,610 we had 16 no intention control runs so 166 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:08,400 every single a set of trials had an 167 00:07:13,910 --> 00:07:11,130 equally matched number of no intention 168 00:07:16,340 --> 00:07:13,920 controls now each run contained five 169 00:07:19,970 --> 00:07:16,350 consecutive 30 minute exposure imaging 170 00:07:24,350 --> 00:07:19,980 trials so a given run contained 5 30 171 00:07:26,570 --> 00:07:24,360 minute exposures the first of each of 172 00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:26,580 the 30 was a background imaging trial 173 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:28,620 which you use force abstraction so 174 00:07:34,700 --> 00:07:32,010 whatever slide abnormalities are in the 175 00:07:37,820 --> 00:07:34,710 chip or any other background information 176 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:37,830 you that the system is designed to be 177 00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:39,690 able to pull that information out and 178 00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:42,120 then we had four consecutive data 179 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:44,580 imaging trials now half of the intention 180 00:07:49,670 --> 00:07:47,370 runs wien had the intention trial on 181 00:07:51,980 --> 00:07:49,680 data imaging trial number three which 182 00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:51,990 meant there was also a pre which is 183 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:54,000 trial two in a trial for where there was 184 00:07:58,610 --> 00:07:56,610 no intention the other half of the 185 00:08:01,010 --> 00:07:58,620 intention runs had the intention trial 186 00:08:02,750 --> 00:08:01,020 on data imaging number four who's the 187 00:08:04,220 --> 00:08:02,760 one who did that was also to control for 188 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:04,230 timing to see whether there was a 189 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:07,130 potential time effect on a given trial 190 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:09,930 the data were collected over eight 191 00:08:14,420 --> 00:08:12,570 consecutive saturdays and we did this 192 00:08:16,300 --> 00:08:14,430 procedure for the following reasons one 193 00:08:18,830 --> 00:08:16,310 to ensure that the laboratory was quiet 194 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:18,840 so what we could do is make sure that no 195 00:08:21,650 --> 00:08:20,250 other experiments were being run in the 196 00:08:23,890 --> 00:08:21,660 laboratory which means that reduced 197 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:23,900 noise and human interaction and so on 198 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:26,850 secondly to fit the healers personal 199 00:08:31,190 --> 00:08:29,490 schedule it worked for him as well third 200 00:08:34,430 --> 00:08:31,200 to increase the healers ability to focus 201 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:34,440 his intentions for the spiritual healing 202 00:08:38,390 --> 00:08:35,970 intention conditions or the focus 203 00:08:40,490 --> 00:08:38,400 meditation control conditions we wanted 204 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:40,500 to be able to do the task that's we 205 00:08:44,780 --> 00:08:42,450 wanted to optimize that to see whether 206 00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:44,790 there was a phenomena here there were 207 00:08:49,490 --> 00:08:46,980 four runs on a given Saturday 208 00:08:52,879 --> 00:08:49,500 the runs were set up either in an ABA 209 00:08:56,150 --> 00:08:52,889 design or ba ba design so that they were 210 00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:56,160 in each each Saturday had to essentially 211 00:09:02,540 --> 00:08:58,410 set to control runs and tooth concepts 212 00:09:04,879 --> 00:09:02,550 of intention runs and they were run a be 213 00:09:06,530 --> 00:09:04,889 a be the first be run had the intention 214 00:09:07,850 --> 00:09:06,540 condition for the third date imaging 215 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:07,860 trial the second be run with the 216 00:09:12,860 --> 00:09:09,839 intention condition for the fourth data 217 00:09:15,740 --> 00:09:12,870 imaging trial / saturday now that we 218 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:15,750 kept fixed the ABA order for the first 219 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:17,850 four Saturday's was a BA for the first 220 00:09:22,490 --> 00:09:20,250 sword then ba ba order for the second 221 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:22,500 for Saturday's so we wanted to make sure 222 00:09:26,870 --> 00:09:24,240 that the whatever these effects were 223 00:09:29,329 --> 00:09:26,880 occurring that with any given Saturday 224 00:09:32,079 --> 00:09:29,339 we could not explain it in terms of the 225 00:09:34,639 --> 00:09:32,089 the order of the a versus the B and the 226 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,649 spiritual healing and intentions were 227 00:09:38,629 --> 00:09:36,720 undone on Saturdays one two five and six 228 00:09:41,269 --> 00:09:38,639 in the focus meditation for Saturday 229 00:09:42,379 --> 00:09:41,279 three four seven and eight and if you do 230 00:09:45,019 --> 00:09:42,389 the calculation with the 231 00:09:47,930 --> 00:09:45,029 counterbalancing it essentially controls 232 00:09:49,370 --> 00:09:47,940 for most everything now let me just give 233 00:09:53,990 --> 00:09:49,380 you a feeling for what these data look 234 00:09:57,769 --> 00:09:54,000 like the image on the left is literally
