The greatest lie we all bought? | |

If so, what do we do with the Truth? ____________________________________ 50% Jahn and Dunne had spent around 30 years painstakingly amassing some of the most convincing evidence about the power of mind and directed intention to affect machinery using REGs, the electronic, 21st century equivalents of a toss of a coin. The output of these machines was controlled by a randomly alternating frequency of positive and negative pulses. Because their activity was utterly random, they produced ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ each roughly 50 per cent of the time, according to the laws of probability. The most common configuration of the REG experiments was a computer screen randomly alternating two attractive images – let’s say, of dogs and cats. Participants in the studies would be placed in front of the computers and asked to try to influence the machine to produce more of one image – more dogs, say – then to focus on producing more images of cats, and then to try not to influence the machine in either direction. Over the course of more than two and a half million trials Jahn and Dunne decisively demonstrated that intention can influence these electronic devices in the specified direction. Their results were replicated independently by 68 investigators. But here’s the real kicker. In some 87,000 of these experiments, volunteers were asked to attempt to mentally influence the ‘heads’ and ‘tails’ random output of REGs in a specific direction anywhere from three days to two weeks after the machines had run. And even weirder, the ‘time-displaced’ experiments achieved even greater effect sizes than the standard experiments did. An effect size is a statistical figure used in scientific research to demonstrate the size of change or outcome. It’s arrived at by a number of factors, usually by comparing two groups, one of which has made the change. An effect size under 0.3 is considered small, between 0.3 and 0.6 is medium, and anything above 0.6 is considered large. Aspirin, considered one of the most successful heart attack preventives of modern times, has an effect size of just 0.032 – more than 10 times smaller than the PEAR lab’s overall effect size. If their results had concerned a drug, Jahn and Dunne would have discovered one of the greatest lifesavers of all time. One interpretation of retro-intention suggests the unthinkable: intention is capable of reaching back down the timeline to influence past events, or emotional or physical responses, at the point when they originally occurred.
