The New Science of Remote Causation

NNC is one of the original supporters of this continuing campaign/experiment at Burning Man to determine if something real is being measured…. I Controlled a Huge Freakin’ Laser With My Mind!  The New Science of Remote Causation by Tam Hunt, UC Santa Barbara Reprinted from the Santa Barbara Independent Journal, Wednesday, March 27, 201 I contrive no hypotheses. ~ Isaac Newton, discussing gravity in Principia Mathematica Isaac Newton, perhaps the greatest scientist who ever lived, did of course make many hypotheses about gravity. In fact, he developed an incredibly profound general theory of gravity that united such seemingly different phenomena as a falling apple and the circling of the…

Second Global Coherence Initiative Sensor Site Installed in Saudi Arabia

Global Coherence Initiative is a NextNowCollab collaboration.  The news about the Saudi Arabia site is a major development for the project, and we’re excited to reprint it here.  For more information, contact Claudia Welss, GCI Steering Committee and Director of Strategic Partnerships: claudia(at)glcoherence.org. This past week marked an important milestone for the Global Coherence Initiative, having successfully installed a second GCI Monitoring System Site. GCI Director of Research Rollin McCraty just returned from overseeing the construction of the new sensor site, located near Hofuf in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia–on the opposite side of the planet from our first sensor…

Bruce Damer’s Planetary Mood Ring: BBC Interview

Those who have been following our work with the Global Coherence Initiative will really appreciate this spontaneous imagination initiative by NextNower Bruce Damer to attempt to reflect the “feeling state” of the planet.  While GCI is a science-based initiative, Planetary Mood Ring‘s invitation of personal, subjective reports of moods, once they are able to be visually mapped, could start to provide us with an interesting reflection of our collective condition.  Below is Bruce’s announcement.  (By the way, I just added my own moodie, but didn’t realize that in the aggregate there’s a limit to the number of characters, so it…

The “Phoenix Economy,” State of the World Forum and Global Coherence Initiative

“A new economic order is rising from the ashes—and a new generation of innovators, entrepreneurs and investors is accelerating the changes essential for delivering scalable sustainable solutions to the world.” The Phoenix Economy:  50 Pioneers in the Business of Social Innovation Global Footprint Network has been named one of the “Phoenix 50,” a new list generated by Volans, an organization that describes itself as “part think-tank, part consultancy, park broker and part incubator.”  They are in the business of helping develop and scale social innovations to financial, social and environmental challenges. They distinguish between four types of markets instead of…

Why Wait for Earth Day?

Our friends and collaborators at the Institute of Heartmath, creators of the Global Coherence Project (more on that below), have come up with this beautiful two minute meditation that’s an attempt to consciously share the energy of our appreciation with the planet. If this sounds impossible to you, consider the wisdom in this quote: “All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer Click Here The Global Coherence Project The goal of the scientifically based Global Coherence Project is to unite millions of people, whatever their…
