More on Science

TLT's post about the synchronous universe website reminded me of something cool. The Global Consciousness Project is a program coming out of Princeton that studies how conciousness affects reality. Here is the website:

These guys have placed random number generators (not unlike slot machines and roulette tables in principle) all over the world. They take readings off of these generators and analyze the synchronicty between the numbers generated. During events like the OJ's verdict and 9/11, the generators just so happen to show more similarity; pointing towards the fact that when vast amounts of human consciouness are focused on one thing, the noosphere is altered. This is exactly what Dr. Swanson means when he talks about psychokinesis. On a related note, there is an annual event called Global Orgasm Day where the idea is to focus as much energy as posssible on positivity while enjoing the poetry of nature through sex or masturbation.

A quote from Robert Persig, Zen and the Art of Motorctcle Maintenance:
"The whole renaissance is supposed to have resulted from the topsy-turvy feeling caused by Columbus' discovery of a new world. It just shook people up. The topsy-turviness of that time is recorded everywhere. There was nothing in the flat-earth view of the Old and New Testaments that predicted it. Yet people couldn't deny it. The only way they could assimilate it was to abandon the entire medieval outlook and enter into a new expansion of reason...I think the present day reason is an analogue of the flat earth of the medieval period. If you go to far beyond it you're presumed to fall off, into insanity. And people are very much affraid of that. I think this fear of insanity is comparable to the fear people once had of falling off the edge of the world. Or the fear of heretics....But what's happening is that each year our old flat earth of conventional reason becomes less and less adequate to handle the experiences we have and this is creating widespread feelings of topsy-turviness. As a result, we're getting more and more people in irrational areas of thought-occultism, mysticism, drug changes and the like-becuase they feel the inadequacy of classical reason to handle what they know are real experiences."

This was written in the 70's. The topsy-turviness that Persig talks about is palpable. Mysticism will hold its proper place soon....
