Looking for opinions, preferably from those who have seen the video, I personally haven't and will save my comments.

The PEAR Proposition:
a quarter century of
Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research

This multi-disc multi-media set is one element of an extensive archiving project that preserves the heritage and accomplishments of the PEAR laboratory.

It features a lecture series given annually as part of an undergraduate course in Human/Machine Interactions at Princeton University, and also includes an introductory tour of the experimental facilities that provides the viewer with a rare opportunity to experience the spirit and substance of this unique research program.

Trailer provided in the link I gave above, youtube link below:

February 10, 2007 press statement about the closing of the PEAR laboratory.

Engineering and Consciousness

The Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research (PEAR) program, which flourished for nearly three decades under the aegis of Princeton University's School of Engineering and Applied Science, has completed its experimental agenda of studying the interaction of human consciousness with sensitive physical devices, systems, and processes, and developing complementary theoretical models to enable better understanding of the role of consciousness in the establishment of physical reality.

It has now incorporated its present and future operations into the broader venue of the International Consciousness Research Laboratories (ICRL), a 501(c)(3) organization chartered in the State of New Jersey. In this new locus and era, PEAR plans to expand its archiving, outreach, education, and entrepreneurial activities into broader technical and cultural context, maintaining its heritage of commitment to intellectual rigor and integrity, pragmatic and beneficial relevance of its techniques and insights, and sophistication of its spiritual implications. As described more fully on the ICRL website, PEAR also will continue to provide the scholarly pedestal from which all other ICRL activities will radiate.

Check out the page above, feel free to comment.

The Global Consciousness Project, also called the EGG Project, is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists, engineers, artists and others. This website introduces methods, technology, and empirical results under the "Scientific Work" menu below, and gives background, interpretations, and implications under "Aesthetic View".

<!--meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10"-->We have been collecting data from a global network of random event generators since August, 1998. The network has grown to about 65 host sites around the world running custom software that reads the output of physical random number generators and records a 200-bit trial sum once every second, continuously over months and years.

The data are transmitted over the internet to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA, where they are archived for later analysis. Individual data create a random tapestry (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/tapestry.html) of color.

The dot (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/gcindex.html) below indicates their global coherence. Our purpose <!-- <iframe src="http://gcp.djbradanderson.com/?index=yes&noText&url=http://noosphere.princeton.edu/gcindex.html" height="48" width="48" align=right scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="no" ></iframe> --> <iframe src="http://gcp.djbradanderson.com/?%20index=yes&noText&url=http://noosphere.princeton.edu/gcindex.html" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" align="right" frameborder="no" height="48" scrolling="no" width="48"></iframe> is to examine subtle correlations that reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. We have learned that when millions of us share intentionsand emotions the GCP/EGG network shows correlations (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/results.html#alldata).

We can interpret this as evidence for participation in a growing global consciousness. It suggests we have the capability and responsibility for conscious evolution. We make the world we live in, and if we Do No Harm (http://www.donoharm.us/), we can help create a Planetary Smile (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/planetary.smile.html).

An open challenge to GCP

While I'm not going to spend enough time going over this to come to an informed opinion, I wanted to hear from someone that has...

So what do you think? Complete Pseudo science, valid research, or does it meet somewhere in the middle?

Oh I dooooooo so love it when bull**** artists illicit narcotics, the interweb and the fat walleted gullible collide.

We have learned that when millions of us share intentions and emotions the GCP/EGG network shows correlations

Errrrr..... show me the raw data proving that at 09:43:34 UTC 4,501,342 of "us" had an identifiably similar emotion or an intention.

At any given moment in time millions of us will share the intention of defecating followed a short while later by the pleasant emotion of relief...

whle at the same time millions of us are dying,giving birth, having an orgasm, being told of the death of a loved one.....etc

Utter twaddle ...... but a good spoof

somewhere there's a couple of kids having a right good laugh at the grownups as they googletrack the viral spread of their new age joke across the internet.

Thanks for posting this...It'll stay in the back of my mind and be used if I need a good example of what happens when a couple of mid life crisis artists get seriously stoned and talk about Google......

They wake up sometime on sunday and remember

1) They hadn't been that stoned for at least 2 decades

2) They had a great idea about that interwebby thing

3) Their kids came home and laughed

4) They offered to pay the kids to do something on the computer

5) The kids stopped laughing and became respectful and are really smart and all adults should stop dissing kids for doing stuff on the computer because it's really amazing how kids can do stuff and communicate all over the world on the interwebby thingy and make things happen so quickly

..........................

6) and......something about online banking and it being really easy to do business and transfer.............

all...............

ones...................

savings.

Oh......J***S G*D how the h*ll do we spin this to pay the mortgage.

It's all Greek to me,

My idea of collective consciousness has always been the exact experience we have in every day life.

Knowing our selves through each other, interactive processes generating a self hypothesis about how we fit in to our social environment.

It is rather fascinating with out adding much to it if you ask me.

And meeting other people with ADD is another relief. First online, but now IRL as well and that's amazing. Finally - people that I understand completely.

I've been 'different' my whole life in a way that I never understood, and therefore I never could connect to others because they did not think like me, feel like me. I was isolated and lonely and strange.

And then I suddenly meet people that think exactly like I do, that understand all these things because they have been throught the same, and I recognise their motivation and pain and hope and sadness and joy, even without words.

And then, all of a sudden, I am no longer aline, all of a sudden I have become complete. The sensation is so strong that it almost is like being in love. Maybe it is even deeper than that. Some sort of peace with the world. That, whatever happens, it's OK. Because, from now on, I am part of it.

Links: Planet Work, Beautiful Earth, Consciousness


The long list of links below are a collection of images and ideas that express some of our feeling for the earth and our possibilities on this beautiful planet. If you explore these, you will see that there is a growing and surprisingly coherent network of people with related motivations to honor our only home. You may find connections important to your needs, and without doubt you will find enjoyment looking through these riches.

Other pages provide links to professional and academic resources.

* Professional societies and research organizations.
* Scholarly references relevant to the GCP/EGG project.
* Newsletters that integrate across a broad range of topics.

In addition we have pages that touch on the Philosophical sources and intuitions that give deeper meaning to our work. Finally, because it is important to act, I am linking to some Political resources and connections that I hope will motivate you to participate in creating the future.

We would appreciate an email if you encounter a broken link or want to recommend a site for this list. You are welcome to provide a link to the GCP (http://noosphere.princeton.edu/) on your website, and you may, if you wish, use one of the logo images above.

* May Peace Prevail On Earth Whenever, Wherever! Join with people all over the world by saying or using this simple universal prayer. Peace is powerful, for it enables our creativity.

* Do No Harm is a simple, and utterly clear presentation of a notion that deciding and working to do no harm will make us mindful, and bring us closer to our potential.

* Do As One and Breathe Together A beautiful web place for us to share the power of breath. An encouragement to breathe in synchrony and come into harmony. What will it be like if millions of us become resonant ...
