I am a proponent of the the Law of Attraction: "you get what you think about; your thoughts determine your destiny. I think it was Buddha that stated: "What you have become is the result of what you have thought."
If you are more the scientific type check: http://www.theintentionexperiment.com/
The first experiment was an enormous success when 400 people sat in a hall in London and intended for a leaf in the University of Arizona to 'glow and glow'. The results were highly significant - so much so that the results can be seen on photographs from special imaging systems.
The second experiment that took place was a web-based trial in which 7,000 people participated. The target this time was stringbean seeds, and again the intention was to make them glow. The results were highly significant in terms of 'glow effect', but too few beans were used to achieve a statistical significance.
The third experiment once again involved a leaf, and so was a web version of the successful experiment in the hall with participants intending in the same space. Computer glitches stopped many from participating, and the results were inconclusive.
So, what have we learnt?
1. Intention sent non-locally by a group of at least 400 appears to have a significant effect on distant targets.
2. A group of more than 6000 people sending intention from remote sites creates a significant effect, and is as large as 400 people in the same room.
3. For intention to work in a scattered group, we may need to have a critical mass of more than 1000 people.
4. Computer distractions or problems interfere with intention.
Thank you all for participating. We will soon be testing these ideas further, and with new targets.
The next experiment will run at 5 pm GMT 2 June 2007
