What do I feed the field?
Our thoughts and feelings have a measurable effect on the physical world—we bear responsibility for our consciousness.
For my German speaking community: You can read this post here on my website, listen to it here on my website, or in Apple-Podcast, Spotify-Podcast, and Youtube.
What do I feed the field?
This question has been asked and is being discussed time and again at HeartMath’s regular meetings. In other words, the question would sound something like this:
How do I affect the environment? Or:
What effect do my thoughts and feelings have on others, on the world?
Is there even a connection?
This question gives me the opportunity to report on an interesting project. It is the Global Consciousness Project. The project (see gcp2.net) investigates whether human states of consciousness are measurable and what effect they have on the physical world.
The website at gcp2.net states:
“We measure the effects of human consciousness using a globally distributed network of physical devices that generate random numbers. These devices are called random number generators (RNGs). Our hypothesis is that collective consciousness can cause the network to no longer behave randomly. This happens either when a large number of people focus their attention on the same event—for example, a global event that evokes compassion—or when a smaller number of people are in a more coherent state and hold a collective intention. In other words: Our collective consciousness can change the physical world.”
I have such a device at home myself. It is numbered 128 and can be viewed on the website mentioned.
As a result, I can report that in both cases mentioned here—that is, either a
global event that evokes compassion, or a
meditation retreat with a smaller group of people,
that in both cases the random number generators no longer behave randomly (statistically significant).
How can this be? I’ll put it simply:
Our thoughts and feelings, our state of consciousness, influence the environment.
What we think and feel affects others and the physical world.
Of course, this raises many questions. What does this have to do with science? This is just belief and hocus-pocus.
But: The random number generators show it quite clearly:
What we think and feel has an effect.
So we have a responsibility toward our own thoughts and feelings and how they affect others and the environment.
With every thought (and thoughts are, after all, always connected to feelings), we influence the course of the world.
These are big words—I know. You can ask yourself whether this is possible and whether it makes sense. Feel free to learn more about this exciting research on the website of gcp2.net.
