Impact of the Prayer for Peace
and Global OM

as monitored by the
Global Consciousness Project

"The trend <sic> suggests that there might have been some effect of the general mood and shared interest generated by Earthdance and
its promotion of conscious intent for peace. "

SUMMARY: On Sept 15, 2007 Earthdance took place in over 300 locations around the world in over 60 countries. The special focus of Earthdance is at 4:00 pm PST when all Earthdance events simultaneously participate in the Prayer for Peace, this year followed directly by the "Global OM". The Prayer for Peace and the GLOBAL OM are the world's largest synchronized sound event.

The Global OM was the highlight of the 11th annual Earthdance International peace festival, and was the first time in recorded history that global participants attuned to a specific frequency (Schumann Resonance, which corresponds to approximately 7.8125hz ). Please visit: http://www.earthdance.org/h2om/ for more information.


The descriptions suggested that the global OM would be 15 minutes long, and synchronized around the world. Our formal prediction was for the 15 minutes plus or minus 30 minutes, which is from 22:30 to 23:45 UTC. There is a slight positive trend, with Chisquare 4525.86 on 4500 df, for p=0.390 and Z=0.279.

To provide a little context, we looked at a little longer period, a total of two hours at the end of the UTC day. The trend is more impressive, and suggests that there might have been some effect of the general mood and shared interest generated by Earthdance and its promotion of conscious intent for peace.

Global Correlations in Random Data

The Global Consciousness Project, also called the EGG Project, is an international, multidisciplinary collaboration of scientists, engineers, artists and others. This website introduces methods, technology, and empirical results under the "Scientific Work" menu below, and gives background, interpretations, and implications under "Aesthetic View".

We have been collecting data from a global network of random event generators since August, 1998. The network has grown to about 65 host sites around the world running custom software that reads the output of physical random number generators and records a 200-bit trial sum once every second, continuously over months and years. The data are transmitted over the internet to a server in Princeton, NJ, USA, where they are archived for later analysis. Individual data create a random tapestry of color. The dot below indicates their global coherence.

Our purpose is to examine subtle correlations that reflect the presence and activity of consciousness in the world. We have learned that when millions of us share intentions and emotions the GCP/EGG network shows correlations. We can interpret this as evidence for participation in a growing global consciousness. It suggests we have the capability and responsibility for conscious evolution. We make the world we live in, and if we Do No Harm, we can help create a Planetary Smile.
