Correlations between onsite and global networks of random number generators during group healing meditations

The Global Consciousness Project 2.0 (GCP 2.0) is an initiative investigating the relationship between human consciousness and the behavior of the project's random number generators (RNGs). This was explored via a series of meditation workshops led by Dr. Joe Dispenza with between 1000-2200 participants. They are run almost monthly and include meditative practices and 3 separate Coherence Healing meditations, the high points of the events.

At all of the events in the first half of 2024, a tower of 40 RNGs in GCP 2.0 devices had been placed in the meditation room, constituting a local RNG network. Their data was compared to that of the hundreds of RNGs distributed across the globe, constituting a global network. All outputs were rigorously processed and tested to ensure randomness. In this exploratory study, each of the local and global networks were analyzed for Network Coherence, a measure of coherent activity across RNGs.

During the 15 healing meditations, a significant correlation was observed between the Network Coherence of the global and local networks, with a mean correlation of 0.27 (p < 0.01). As this occurred only during healing meditations and not at other times, it suggests the highly focused attention and/or elevated emotional state across humans in the room may have measurable global impact, demonstrating the reach of a small coherent group. Also, combining the local RNG Network Coherence across all the healing meditation periods via a Stouffer's Z score resulted in a distinctive curve when plotted, resembling an evoked response. This suggests a mechanism whereby a coherently focused signal from the people in the room evokes a response from the RNGs similar to those observed in evoked potentials in the brain.
