I learned about something I hadn’t heard of. I don’t know how it missed my attention, but sometimes I’m flitting around with other things and miss really cool stuff, so on the conference call with the folks from “Fact or Faked,” they mentioned “Global Consciousness Project,” a study through Princeton and something inside me clicked.
I’ll tell you all an interesting tale before I tell you why something clicked in me. Years ago, I was coming out of the store and walking to my car and something struck me all at once (no not a shopping cart)a feeling. I stopped and stood there kind of helpless and baffled. I looked around me to see if anyone else was stopping and feeling it. I don’t normally succumb to such sensations but then I had never out-of-the-blue gotten one quite like this. It felt as if I were suddenly thrust into a meditative state, but the kind where you’re floating and peaceful and without judgment or bodily concern. Somehow, my feet were moving forward and before I knew it, I was across the parking lot, looking up to the northeast. I stood there, staring out over the mountains in the distance and feeling as if there was a gathering. An immense gathering of people in meditation and prayer. A peaceful gathering. I wanted to be with them. I wanted to get in my car and go there. It was the most blissful feeling I can remember. I stood there a long time. A few people walked by me and looked at me as if I were lost. I knew they were there, but my mind was not in the parking lot, it was reaching towards the mountain range and beyond.
I got into my car and turned the radio dial and listened anxiously as I drove home in that direction, my eyes not leaving the mountains. They announced a gathering to the northeast of our state where thousands were coming in prayer for peace in one massive effort to change the intentions of mankind. I laughed joyfully. I could feel it. I could truly feel it as if I were there with them. I had envisioned a kind of hippie commune sensation; an understatement.
So, now back to this project. The basic idea is that human consciousness focused in an area and especially human emotions can actually imprint itself on the environment. I’ve known this my whole life in the house I grew up in. I could feel pockets of it, touch it in the walls and blood-stained floors from the Civil War. I also felt it at places like Lincoln’s Memorial, the Vietnam Vet Memorial, working in a hospital ER, going into a church. There is a collective held there, like in the precious stones of Stonehenge and the walls of Machu Pichu. It is all designed as if to concentrate that energy.
Perhaps the concentration of geology, stone building materials, feng shui principals, spirituality and emotion come together atop leylines in a killer combination that creates overwhelming haunted sites? Perhaps these super conduits were designed to retain the spirituality and that is why standing in Stonehenge and ancient Incan and Mayan temples, we still feel it.
Just another thing to roll around in your mind. Do check out the interesting site link above about the study. Things I’ve known my whole life they are finally getting into realizing. I guess the fact I’m into ghost hunting theories is my destiny. I’ve been running these thoughts and concepts my whole life. Now, to prove a building’s construction and layout influence its “hauntability...”
