The Global Consciousness Factor
"Our purpose is to examine subtle correlations that may reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. We predict structure in what should be random data, associated with major global events. When millions of us share intentions and emotions the GCP/EGG network data show meaningful departures from expectation. This is a powerful finding based in solid science.
Subtle but real effects of consciousness are important scientifically, but their real power is more direct. They encourage us to help make essential, healthy changes in the great systems that dominate our world. Large scale group consciousness has effects in the physical world. Knowing this, we can use our full capacities for creative movement toward a conscious future."

"Suppose that the entire human race were a single organism, a single creature. Would that creature be self-reflexively conscious? This is what I mean by global consciousness. Suppose that humanity as a whole wasn’t a collection of organisms, but a single organism, let’s say an enormous dinosaur. Suppose that humanity was an gigantic super-organism with five billion cells (humans) and various organs and body parts (perhaps nations, races, social movements, organizations). We then could ask whether this organism was conscious of itself.
By global consciousness I mean “collective global reflexive consciousness.” The word “reflexive” refers to the ability of consciousness to reflect back on itself, the ability of a being to be aware of itself. “Global” refers to all of humanity. I use the world “collective” because I am referring to the consciousness of the human race as a whole, not a global consciousness that any of us might have as individuals."
