Introduction to Coherent Consciousness

Coherent consciousness is consciousness which has a coherent 'structure'. When a single person has a coherent consciousness then his or her attention is undivided. The whole mind is focussed on one subject. The different parts of the brain are in harmony.

When a group of persons has a coherent consciousness then the attention of the members of the group is concentrated on a single subject. They are mentally or spiritually in harmony.

Very interesting about coherent consciousness is that it can do something truly special and unique. It has an effect on true random events, in particular on devices called random event generators (REG) or random number generators (RNG).

This effect has been studied for years. Here are a few examples.

  • It was studied at a scientific research project where people were asked to influence a random generator. This project showed a small but significant effect of human intention on random data sequences.
  • It was also studied at another scientific research project (PDF) , where random event generators were placed in various locations, such as small groups having intense discussions, groups who perform group rituals and music/theather/humor conventions. These tests also showed anomalous results.
  • The effect of coherent consciousness on a global scale is subject of research at the Global Consciousness Project. This showed interesting results, for example during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 the results showed a deviation from chance expectation with odds of 20 to 1.

To understand the method of functioning behind coherent consciousness it can be compared to iron. In a block of iron every atom is a little magnet. Usually every atom is pointing in another direction, so their total magnetic result is zero. But when the atoms are lined up (pointing in the same direction) all the little magnets are working together and the block of iron becomes a magnet.

So, when a group of iron atoms becomes coherent it gets a new functionality we call magnetism. In a similar way does consciousness get a new functionality when it becomes coherent. It obtains the ability to influence random events.
