Question Forum Experiment - Mind and Intent

Hi All,

I would like to know if anyone would be interested in being part of a forum experiment.

The experiment itself would be to test whether intent actually brings change as I have purported in my thread posts. I have been straight forward in showing a connection that I feel exists between conscious intent and matter, and now I would like to show you first hand what it feels like.

The objective would be to see what percentage of the willing forum population can actually change part of their life (make sure it’s positive in nature will ya!), using nothing but intent and within a 1 week period. You would need to be prepared to do a simple series of tasks which take about 5-10min max once a day for 5 days.

As a benchmark, I will be asking you to make the same change using normal thought, and see if anything happens over 1 week. After a few days of practicing the technique, we can conduct the second half; a week performing the learned tasks and then see if there is any difference between the first week and the results of the second week. Sound fair?

We've had a few threads which eventuated in a little bit of friction. So, I'm prepared to put my belief on the line and conduct an honest and if you wish, an anonymous 'Poll' at the end of the 2 week period. If you wish to add comments with your Poll vote, you can do so. Negative or positive is irrelevant.

I have a 3000+ year old technique developed by Yogis which involves a very simple series of tasks. I have written them in a simple to understand series of steps. They involve visualization techniques and controlled breathing. I have used them many times and it is totally harmless.

Should we go ahead, we will be testing whether conscious intent can deliver physical change. I’m sure you will agree that this is perhaps the most difficult, if not impossible, experiment we could carry-out. So it should be quite interesting. I teach people this in the book, so showing you now is no big deal.

We will need at least 25 people to make some sort of difference.

It's not often someone puts their proverbial money where their mouth is, so here's the opportunity to see for yourself.

Everyone will need to be 100% honest and not lie about whatever happens. If you agree to do it honestly and openly, then lie…well if you saw a change and lied you'll know karma may be real too. If you are 100% honest then you'll feel good that you played a part in something quite different.

Remember, we will need at least 25 people. We don’t get the numbers, we don’t conduct it, simple.

If a moderator objects to a forum experiment, then so be it.

If it shows some of you evidence, don’t expect me to say “I told you so”, likewise, if you see no evidence, I don’t expect you to say “I told you so”.

I’m confident no other forum on the planet will have done this.

Ladies are more than welcome to do this; they’re usually much better at it than guys.

Feel free to ask questions.

If you are willing, so I can easily count numbers, post a response I'M IN at the top of your post please.

Cheers
Mark

So... Are all 25+ people going to be trying to physicaly change one common object/subject, or are the 25+ individuals working on their own chosen object/subject?

No, each person will be focusing on something that they and only they will know about. I don't care if it's something like running into a friend you haven't seen for 20 years...so long as they're alive...I can't change the impossible, just affect the possible.

It doesn't get any more tailored than this.

Make sense?

You in or out?

Carl, don't read the steps as yet, but can you please verify for everyone that there is indeed a 7 step procedure on page 99 of the manuscript, and that it does contain the word Qi, as in Chi energy. Because that's what we will be building.

Just to show people that this is not a prank...I think Mick may be a unsure of my intent (pardon the pun).

I could be in but I already believe that thought changes reality.

I do it all the time.

No one will admit it but we all have our particular beliefs that guide our choices... and so it is not so mystical really... if one focuses thought on getting something then one is more open to opportunity that may see that reality present in er reality.

The boat I recently purchaser has been in my minds eye for as long as can recall my interest in sailing..conincidence ..maybe... but it is the boat I dreamed of..even has tan sails..that is rare...other little things like that...those little pins on the mast like the press gangs used... very rare but that whgat I always wanted..portholes same...

The crazy lady came from visualising someone who could live out our way in the bush without the things ladies always demand..

I said to my mate we needed two of them and guess what two eventually turned up..we should have been more specific on just how non conventional they were to be but mostly they were exactly what we imagined...now it was not magic or anything mystical it was in talking about such we formed the idea it would be cool and so when a poor lady happened by (unusual way out where I am admittedly and the only visitor in litterally years) we convinced her (and she convinced another) that we were into a cool trip and they would do well to be invloved...they did.

I now will her to be gone but that is not working so well to date but it will...one thing is for sure she wont be in my reality even if I have to move..

Vissualising works but not like "the secret" etc suggests.... it is simply a matter of what the mind can concieve the mind will achieve..I feel anyways.

I have done courses where you played your goals over music repeatedly to change stuff and believe me that worked ... I really believe there are two sides of the mind..one that rationalises and limits what we can do and the other "dreaming" side (call it the subconscieious ( although that word should be limited to my contextual use herein)).. One side relies on fact and limits our actions whereas the other believes what we tell it... When younger I could beat all comers in arm wrestling.. not because I am strong ..far from it..but because I would talk myself into it..telling myself about how mothers could lift cars off babies, epelectics who prooved mussel power can break our bones and a belief that we only use 10% of mussle power...so if needed calling on that unused power I could beat any opponent... well I di and it was the mind doing that not the body..in my belief...but it sure worked for me.

There's a few things in my life I'd like to try to change, so I'm willing to try this experiment.

One of those things I do want to change is how little time in my life I seem to have to do anything except work and sleep and "recover" from 12 hour shifts - so I need to ask will I have to actually READ the entire 99 page (or larger) document?

To put it simply, I won't have time to read anything that size. I haven't read a single whole book in the last 4 or 5 years I guess, Sad, isn't it? I just can't find the time anymore. I used to read every night, at least a book or 2 a week. These days I'm lucky to skim through an astro mag long enough to look at all the pictures, let alone read the articles.

Already made a big change in my life. Hit the gym at 6:00am 4 times a week. 8kg to lose in 8 weeks before Xmas. I don't know if a conscious change can change my life but I sure can't feel my arms anymore
