Can We Really Change Our Reality?
We experience ourselves as individuals with limited ability to influence our society, sometimes even with limited power to influence our own private lives.
Are humans truly limited beings that begin and end with everyday human experiences alone? Or could there be something beyond that, something bigger?
These questions have intrigued scientists, mystics, and philosophers for millenia. The prophets and ancient thinkers have provided insights and answers in their own way, and nowadays a growing body of modern science research fortifies these answers and sheds light on an invisible yet powerful field that appears to connect us all.
Carl Jung, the famous 20th century Swiss psychiatrist and founder of analytical psychology, introduced the concept of the collective unconscious, a shared layer of the unconscious mind that contains universal patterns, archetypes, and ancestral memories.
He believed this collective layer influences our thoughts, emotions, and behavior, often without our conscious awareness. Jung saw it as a vital force shaping both individual identity and cultural evolution.
The Global Consciousness Project, led by Dr. Roger D. Nelson at the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab at Princeton University, has taken Jung’s idea one step further - He investigated whether collective human focus could influence the physical world.
Using random number generators placed in different places around the world, the project found that during emotionally significant global events such as major disasters like 9/11, or mass meditations, the randomness of these devices decreased.
These groundbreaking findings suggest that human consciousness, when synchronized across large groups, may measurably affect physical systems, pointing to the existence of a global, interconnected field of awareness.
Dr. Nelson was not the only one fascinated by these notions. Gregg Braden, a five-time New York Times best-selling author, educator and pioneer scientist, explores the link between science, spirituality, and human potential.
His research shows that our hearts emit powerful electromagnetic signals that can synchronize with others and with the Earth’s magnetic field. He also showed that coherent emotional states such as compassion and gratitude can strengthen this connection, influencing both personal well-being as well as the collective energy field.
​
His findings match those of two other famous researchers:
​
Dr. Joe Dispenza, a neuroscientist and researcher, international lecturer, author, and corporate consultant, studies how thoughts, emotions, and beliefs shape our biology and reality. He has shown that by entering meditative and emotionally elevated states, people can rewire their brains and promote physical healing.
His work also indicates that groups practicing heart-brain coherence together can generate measurable energy fields that may influence outcomes beyond the self. These findings were strengthened by the famous “Intention Experiments” of Lynne McTaggart, an investigative award-winning journalist and a pioneering consciousness researcher.
Her studies show that when groups of people focus on a shared intention, such as healing or peace, they can produce measurable changes in living systems, including human health and conflict resolution. These results highlight the power of collective intention as a force capable of influencing the physical world.
In addition to the research led by these individuals, the HeartMath Institute carries forward the work of Dr Nelson in what they named The Global Consciousness Project 2.0, or GCP 2.0.
The HeartMath Institute is the leading institute today researching heart coherence and the connection between emotions, physiology, and the Earth’s magnetic field.
Their studies reveal that positive emotional states like appreciation and love create measurable coherence in the heart and brain, improving health and emotional balance.
They also found that human heart rhythms can synchronize with each other and with the planet, contributing to a global field of emotional and energetic influence.
All of this research suggests that we are not isolated individuals, but deeply connected through a shared field of consciousness.
Our thoughts, emotions, and intentions, especially when practiced with focus and in groe ups, appear to ripple into a larger field, influencing others and the world around us. This collective consciousness, in turn, influences our mental, emotional, and even physical states.
By becoming more conscious of our inner states and the energy we broadcast, we can choose to contribute positively to the collective field.
Practices such as meditation, heart coherence, gratitude, and focused intention can amplify this effect. As more individuals align with higher states of awareness and compassion, we have the potential to co-create a more connected, peaceful, and thriving world for all.
Join us on September 21st. Let’s use this enormous power to create the world we want to live in!
