My husband and I watched the documentary I Am<\/a> last weekend. \u00a0It was very good and I would highly recommend it. \u00a0In the documentary they briefly mentioned The Global Consciousness Project (GCP)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Below is a quick explanation of the project from their site<\/p>\n

———————
\nThe GCP is a network of random number generators (RNGs) spread around the world. There are currently about 65 or 70 nodes in the network, and at each one, random data trials are recorded continuously, one trial per second, day after day over the past 13 years. The result is a database of synchronized parallel sequences of random numbers. The data are archived on a server in Princeton, and subjected to formal analysis testing whether there are departures from expected randomness corresponding to global events.<\/em><\/p>\n

By definition the RGNs are independent and should not show any relationship at all, but during moments of importance to humans, the devices show slight correlations with each other.
\n<\/em>———————<\/p>\n

The moments mentioned in the documentary were Sept 11, 2001 (WTC attack) and \u00a0Dec 26, 2004 (Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami). \u00a0 Both of these tragedies brought about a mass synchronization of human consciousness as people around the world felt empathy and compassion for those effected by the tragedies which then translated to a physical synchronization of the RGNs spread around the world by the GCP.<\/p>\n

As I have been reading more about the GCP, the site discusses the fact that they have found that events evoking empathy, compassion or love for others bring about a much larger effect.<\/p>\n

This just confirms for me once again the great importance of empathy. \u00a0The act of putting ourselves aside or denying ourselves in order to try to understand another person’s perspective, experience or situation and then finding compassion within to offer help to another.<\/p>\n

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.”<\/p>\n

Let us deny ourselves through empathy as we live Our Best Lives!<\/p>\n
