The Square Root of One Percent

In the run up to the millennium, an intriguing experiment was conducted by the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Global Consciousness Institute in California.

This involved forty devices from around the world called Random Number Generators (RNGs), feeding back to a central computer at Princeton University. The intention behind this was to use random number sequences to detect synergies in mass consciousness.

What they found was that, as the time-line moved across the globe on the eve of January 1st 2000, the numbers became more ordered. More intriguing still, the experiment continued, revealing that in the days running up to 9/11, similar blips occurred. The numbers were less random, leading to the conclusion that, in some strange way at least, global consciousness knew that something shattering was about to happen. It is now thought that this programme could be used to predict significant global events.

More intriguing still, there is earlier data to suggest that it takes a relatively small portion of a population to shift consciousness, concluding that it takes only the square root of one percent of a population to align their thinking for mass consciousness to change.

In other words, only one hundred people out of every million need to come together over an issue for a result to be observed. That critical mass tipping point is not way out of reach. It's right there.

If just one hundred people out of every million decided to get on board, we could swing the tide.

Rather than feeling totally disempowered, we should see the opportunity.
