Changing one’s paradigm is not easy. Millennia passed before humankind discovered that energy is the basis of matter. It may take a few more years before we prove that wisdom and knowledge are the basis of—and can actually create—energy, which in turn creates matter.

The Organizing Mind

NEW DISCOVERIES SHOW HOW THE MIND ORGANIZES MATTER

As I was writing this chapter, Lonnie Nelson, now a Ph.D. but then a brilliant graduate student in the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona, was completing his fifth and final experiment for his master’s thesis. When I looked at the results of this experiment, my reaction was, “Okay, I give up.” He appeared to have demonstrated that a person’s state of mind leads electrons in a special electronic device to become more organized, even at a distance. That conscious intention can increase the organization of electrons flowing in a resistor shielded from both electrical and magnetic influence is a concept worthy of courageous thought.

The device he had been using, a random event generator, or REG, detects electron “noise” in a resistor, which is assumed to be random. A computer counts and plots the distribution of this electron noise over time. The REG used in our laboratory was designed and built by the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research laboratory (known as PEAR) in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Princeton University. The pioneering work from PEAR, described in Professor Robert Jahn’s and Brenda Dunne’s book Margins of Reality, requires that we revise our understanding about how the universe works.

An elegant series of studies conducted over two decades has shown conclusively that the human mind can influence the seemingly random behavior of balls and electrons, not only from a few feet away but from a distance of thousands of miles away as well; in these tests, the human subjects demonstrated their influence when working with mechanical machines such as pinball-like devices, and with electronic machines such as REGs. They are also called RNGs, which stands for random number generators.

For most subjects, the effects are very small, but they are highly reliable and replicable. If the average number of hits and misses detecting an electron in the REG averages 50 percent, people can shift the average up and down by intention alone approximately 2 percent.

In Paul Pearsall’s Wishing Well, current research on the organizing mind is reviewed, and the implications for human life and health are illustrated. When I read Paul’s book, I remember feeling (and resisting) the Margaret Mead statement quoted earlier, “These are the kind of data I wouldn’t believe, even if they were true.” But these data are valid. The data are real, and truth is supported by evidence. Moreover, the data are predicted by contemporary physics and systems science.

It was Lonnie’s fifth and final experiment that convinced me he had discovered something wonderful in our laboratory. One of the members of Lonnie’s master’s committee wanted to make sure that the effects he was observing were not due to subtle hand movements. To address this valid question, Lonnie and I designed the following experiment.
