The combined power of intent with the emotional love
From the book called "
Quiet your mind" by John Selby (pages 150 to 154)
However, if you're not familiar specifically with the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Project carried out under the guidance of Professor Robert Jahn, you should find the following paragraphs highly interesting, as they describe seminal research that will rapidly impact our basic worldview about the verifiable power of the human heart-mind to impact and communicate from a distance.
The issue of direct transpersonal communication is of course not a new one. Throughout history, many of our wisest scholars and scientists have openly claimed that they could sense the presence of an invisible yet almost palpable power within their own minds. Isaac Newton, that patriarch of classic Western science, stated that the primary force of change in the world would prove to be "the mystery by which mind could control matter." Francis Bacon, father of the experimental method, was highly interested in studying such "mind over matter" phenomena as telepathic dreams, psychic healing, transmissions of spirits, and the power of the mind on the casting of dice. And in contemporary physics, Max Planck, Neils Bohr, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, Erwin Scroedinger, and David Bohm have all written about the still-mysterious influence of consciousness on external matter and events.
However, only recently has our experimental method become technologically sharp enough to test once and for all the driving question of whether or not the human heart and mind can broadcast actual energetic information beyond the physical body. The last twenty years have been landmark decades for consciousness research. Any number of studies could be cited from around the world, but perhaps the first and by now most solid set of studies demonstrating the specific impact of the mind on the environment and other people is that begun in 1979 by Robert Jahn, noted professor of aerospace sciences and dean of the traditionally quite conservative Princeton School of Engineering and Applied Science. Jahn established the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Center for „the scientific study of consciousness-related physical phenomena.”
Intending to finally prove or disprove Francis Bacon’s early questioning of whether our mind can influence the tossing of dice, the flipping of coins, and other supposedly random phenomena, the following experimental situation was set up at Princeton:
Using the most sensitive data systems available, a human operator would sit with a computer that was randomly generating either „plus” (+1) or „minus” (-1) signs at a very rapid rate. The operator’s instructions were very simple – to employ his or her willpower, or power of intent, to influence the statistically random output of the computer.
Note that no differentiation was made in this study between cranial brain power and cardiac heart power. From what we now know about the heart being an integral part of the brain system of the body, we can assume that the heart’s energetic radiation was a factor in the „power of intent” in the experiment.
In each test run, a naive „general population” operator was asked first to focus his or her attention toward helping the computer generate the expected „zero” total of the +1 and -1 random output. On the second run the operator was asked to employ his or her conscious intent, in helping the computer to generate a „higher than expected” numerical output. Then on the third run the operator was asked to focus on influencing the computer to generate a „lower than expected” numerical output.
From the classical Western scientific understanding, there should have been statistically zero difference between the three runs. But the opposite proved true: „The overall results indicate a modest but persistent achievement that is well beyond any reasonable chance expectation.” The experiment was run literally thousands of times to make sure the results were statistically valid.
The results remained statistically significant. Somehow the human mind was able to influence the performance of a machine, purely through conscious present-moment mental-emotional intent.
Once the initial Princeton study data was compiled and processed showing that the human mind can influence a computer that is spatially close to the operator, the designers of the Human/Machine Interaction Study decided to see if the power of consciousness over matter remains the same or diminishes over space.
They began separating human from machine with ever increasing distances, looking for the anticipated dropoff effect over distance. However, much to their surprise, they didn’t find any dropoff at all. Even when the operator was thousands of miles from the machine (Princeton to Tokyo), the ability to positively or negatively influence the random output of the machine remained unchanged. Distance was clearly not a variable in the consciousness equation. Here was yet another anomaly that flew in the face of conventional scientific thinking – yet one that makes perfect sense when lovers claim that they are in intimate touch with each other, no matter how far apart they might be on the planet.
Almost surely, Professor Jahn and his associates concluded, the actual broadcast coming from the human mind must be some kind of wave pattern, traveling through some as-yet-unindentified medium. At this point the researchers got really nervy. They decided to go ahead and study the variable of time in their experimental model by having the operator broadcast his intent to the machine a specified amount of time (ranging up to 336 hours) before the machine would be turned on.
Again, truly startling results were obtained. The factor of time between stimulus and response didn’t diminish the operator’s mental ability to influence the random output of the machine. Somehow the medium through which the conscious intent was broadcast had stored this information until the computer was turned on and the study run.
The Princeton studies came upon yet another rather astounding statistic, very close to our present theme of the heart being an active ingredient in the consciousness equation. When operators were paired in the research, directing their intent as a two-person team toward the functioning of the machine, these pairs repeatedly yielded startling positive results – with average effects
3.7 times greater than those of a single operator.
This discovery clearly indicates that when two heart-minds are put together, this union of intent somehow amplifies the results gained. And if all this isn’t enough, here’s yet another key discovery emerging from the Princeton studies: when opposite-sex pairs who were romantically bonded (married or girlfriend-boyfriend) with a strong emotional love relationship worked together as a team, their results were „nearly
six times those of the single operators.”
There’s no way around this statistic. The research team ran a great many tests to be sure they were statistically and experimentally valid, and over and over, they found that the simple procedure of bringing emotional love into the picture increased the positive results of „mind over matter” to really quite startling proportions.
