In his book, The Sacred and the Profane: The Nature of Religion (Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Harcourt, 2001), Mercea Eliade defines the sacred as the manifestation of something “of a wholly different order” from the ordinary world. Recent experiments in human intention suggest that creating sacred space is well within the realm of human power. These experiments point to the reality of conditioned space, coherent energy and sacred sites.
Conditioned Space
William A. Tiller Ph.D, Professor Emeritus at Stanford University’s Department of Materials Science who coined the phrase "Psychoenergetic Science," was the first to test the idea that thought (a form of energy) could be captured in electronic memory and later “released” to affect the physical world.
Using fruit flies as test subjects, he considered the possibility of placing fly larvae within space conditioned by a specific human intention – that the larvae would experience activated growth – and seeing if indeed this intention would produce the desired effect in the flies.
He gathered four highly experienced meditators in a room, had them visualize the specific intention for 15 minutes during which he “captured” their intentions within a host device, an electronically wired black box that held three pairs of memory chips – quartz crystal oscillators capable of regulating quantum wave information.
The box was placed inside an electrically grounded Faraday cage to preserve the lifetime of the imprinted intention. Vials of fly larvae were exposed to the conditioned space inside the Faraday cage. After eight months of intense tracking and monitoring, Tiller discovered that the larvae had indeed developed 15% faster than normal; these larvae also developed into fruit flies that were stronger and healthier, a characteristic that was passed onto the next generation of fruit flies as well.
Coherent Energy
In another series of experiments, researcher Graham Watkins and his wife Anita used human test subjects who were well-known for their psychic abilities. They were asked to imprint their intention for faster recovery on mice that had been anesthetized. Mice that had demonstrated similar waking time when anesthetized were divided into experimental and control groups.
Mice in the first batch of experimental groups woke up at least four seconds earlier than the controls. In subsequent studies, their wake-up times improved, suggesting that the laboratory space has incubated a coherent energy that improved the responses of the mice.
Sacred Sites
Further studies were conducted by Dr. Roger Nelson who was intrigued by the idea of conditioned space in sacred sites. Armed with an electronic coin-tossing machine that generates a random series of heads and tails outputs (REG), Nelson set out to see if the coherent energy at sacred sites would register a different reading on the random event generator.
In ordinary space, the reading of the REG would register randomness; however, in space that has been conditioned by group consciousness and prayers, the effect would be different. This was borne out in his numerous studies which showed that a field of coherent energy or consciousness rendered a more ordered reading in the REG.
Nelson’s conclusion was that sacred sites contained “ a lingering vortex of coherent energy from all the people who had prayed or died there.” This energy can still be picked up by the REG machine.
Research shows that space can be conditioned with intention and coherent energy, becoming sacred sites that are powerful in their own right. If man has the power to condition space with what Eliade terms a “wholly different order,” he needs to awaken to the sacred power that lies within his hands.
