SOME ROBUST EFFECTS OF HUMAN INTENTION ON SPACE CONDITIONING
For the past several years, my colleagues and I have been conducting specific target experiments on the use of inten-tion imprinted electrical devices (IIEDs) to influence both inanimate and animate materials with respect to some of their properties.2 For each target experiment, one starts with two identical simple electronic devices housed in 17.8 cm × 7.6 cm × 2.5 cm black plastic boxes. One isolates them from each other by first wrapping them in aluminum foil and then storing them in separate electrically grounded Faraday cages (FCs). One is left as is and is designated as the
“control.” The other is taken out of its FC, unwrapped, and
“charged” with the specific intention or the particular target

experiment under consideration. It is then rewrapped in Al foil and returned to its FC.
This charging process involved the services of four highly qualified meditators to “imprint” the device with the specific intention following a specific protocol (see the appendix of section IA in Reference 2). Then, on separate days, the con-trol device and the imprinted device were shipped via Federal Express about 3000 km to a laboratory where the actual tar-get experiments were conducted by others.
When not in use, the devices were always wrapped in Al foil and stored in individual FCs. This was found to be nec-essary because without it, even if the devices were separated by 100 m and in the off-state, the control device gradually became imprinted with that specific intention and we eventu-ally lost our “control.” Following this isolation procedure, we could maintain the imprint charge in the active device for ~4 months before reimprinting was felt to be needed.

Here, the specific intention was to either increase or decrease the pH of aqueous solutions and purified water (ASTM type 1) by one full pH unit. Separate IIEDs were needed for ΔpH = +1 and ΔpH = −1. Thus, considering both, a swing of hydrogen ion concentration by a factor of 102 was attempted without any intentional chemical additions except those entering via contact with the local air atmosphere.
The experimental setup used is shown in Figure 6.7 where a modern, high-quality pH meter (accuracy of ±0.01 pH-unit, resolution of 0.001 pH-unit) and a high-quality temperature probe (accuracy of ±0.012°C, resolution of 0.001°C) were utilized. The device was merely placed ~15.25 cm (6 in.) from the water and turned on (total radiated electromagnetic energy <10−6 W).

2 h to either an unimprinted device (Figure 6.8a) or to an imprinted device (Figure 6.8b) and then monitored for sev-eral subsequent days.2 For the unimprinted device, the subse-quent pH readings are erratic while, for the imprinted device, the pH readings monotonically vary over time and step in an orderly fashion from day to day. The readings were taken from ~9:00 am to 11:00 am every day and at the start of each day with the buffer calibration. Later, in a separate experi-ment, the pH electrode was placed in the test solution, which initially drives the pH downward to equilibrate with the solu-tion (initial transient deleted).
Figure 6.9 demonstrates results with two different IIEDs, one with the intention to decrease the pH by one full unit (Figure 6.9a) and the other with the intention to increase the pH by one full pH unit (Figure 6.9b). The tests were made using different solutions so the equilibrium pH ranges were quite different. The purified water was ASTM type 1 (resistivity ≥18.2 MΩ cm, TOC < 5 ppb) water, while the Castle Rock water is a naturally occurring spring water with total dissolved solids (TDS) of about 95 mg/L and [Ca2+]/
[Mg2+] = 2.0. In these particular experiments, the pH change over ~5 days (7200 min) was ~ −0.5 pH units for the pH-decreasing IIED and ~+1 pH units for the pH-increasing IIED, relative to the equilibrium pH range at 20−25°C for each experiment. When one uses a control device (unim-printed) instead of an IIED, the pH tends to stay in the equi-librium range or very close to it.
target exPerIments 2 and 3
To show the scope of this new potential technology, I briefly demonstrate its application in the area of biological materi-als (both inert and living) as well. Details, only of interest to biologists, are provided in Reference 2.
For target experiment 2, the specific IIED intention was to increase the in vitro thermodynamic activity of a specific liver enzyme, alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Four simulta-neous, side-by-side variants were conducted on the same shelf in an incubator (held at 4°C) as shown in Figure 6.10.
Comparisons could then be readily made between the control ALP solution (C) and
1. ALP solution placed in a small but otherwise empty grounded FC (F)
2. The same as (1) but with an activated imprinted device (d, j) present
3. The same as (1) but with an activated unimprinted device (d, o) present
The first comparison, (C) with (F), allows one to assess the effect of the broad band ambient EMFs in the incuba-tor on the ALP activity. The second comparison, (F) with (d, o), allows one to assess the effect of low power (less than 1 μW) and specific frequency (three frequencies in the 1–10-MHz range) EMFs on ALP activity. The third com-parison, (d, j) with (d, o), allows one to assess the effect of imprinted human intention, at constant EMF output, on ALP activity. In addition, simultaneous correlations between any and all of these different experimental states are available.
The results of this experiment, in terms of means with their standard deviations, are provided in Figure 6.11. The data were assessed via the ANOVA statistical procedure, and based on this, pairwise comparison with Tukey post hoc tests were examined. Visual inspection of Figure 6.11 and the ANOVA indicated that both the treatment and the dilution significantly modified ALP activity. The treatment rankings

their development time to the adult fly stage. Once again, we incorporated four simultaneous experimental variants in a side-by-side positioning on a laboratory bench top (at 18°C and 55% relative humidity) as indicated in Figure 6.12. The four treatments investigated were as follows:

Our larval assay used high-performance liquid chromatog-raphy (HPLC) to measure changes in levels of ATP, ADP, and AMP present in larval homogenate samples. From this, the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio was readily determined. Larval devel-opment time (LDT) is defined as the time taken for half of the surviving adults to emerge. We assessed LDT and [ATP]/
[ADP] ratio in a total study involving approximately 10,000
larvae and 7000 adult flies over an 8-month period.2 For the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio assessment, we utilized a specific added amount of either nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) or purified water to the larval homogenate samples for a set time period.
The experimental data is presented in Figure 6.13 as means with standard deviations arising from ANOVA statistical pro-cedures and Tukey post hoc tests. For both results, the ANOVA gives p < 0.001 overall. In terms of our basic hypothesis con-cerning the influence of intention-augmented EMFs on lar-val fitness, this data provides robust support from LDT with (d, j) < (d, o) at the p < 0.001 level of statistical significance.

FIGURE 6.9 (a) pH versus time for 50/50 dilution of Castle Rock Water with purified H2O. Measurement of pH was done simultaneously with exposure to the imprinted pH-lowering device for the data points depicted by square but only after exposure for the data points depicted by circles. (b) pH versus time of pure water in equilibrium with laboratory air during exposure to pH-increasing IIED.
The unexpected findings that (F) < (C) at p < 0.001 and that (F) << (d, o) at p < 0.0001 illustrates that both random ambi-ent EMFs and specific high-frequency EMFs (even at quite low power levels) are significant stressors for D. melanogas-ter. The finding that the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio practically mir-rors the LDT data for the added NAD case, at a high Pearson
correlation value, strongly supports the connection between energy availability to the cells and organism fitness as well as the profound importance of NAD to overall metabolic activ-ity. Finally, it is important to note that, even for the added pure water case, the different treatments gave an overall statisti-cally significant effect (p < 0.001).
target exPerIment 4
During the course of the preceding experiments, it began to be apparent that some type of “conditioning” process was going on in the particular locale associated with continued use of the IIEDs in that locale. In the purified water experi-ments locale, after some incubation period, we began to observe oscillations2 in air temperature, water temperature, water pH, and water electrical conductivity whose ampli-tude often exceeded 102 times the sensitivity of our detection systems (see Figure 6.14). In other nearby locales (~6–15 m away), where no previous IIED studies had taken place, no such oscillations were observed.
In Figure 6.14a, one sees the presence of both highly peri-odic short period (<2 h) and long period (>20 h) oscillations in both pH and temperature. Figure 6.14b is an expanded scale view of one oscillation train from Figure 6.14a (near the end) to illustrate the “lawful” nature of the pH waveform.
These oscillations are among the largest amplitude pH oscil-lations we recorded. Figure 6.14c provides the amplitude spectrum for a pH-oscillation wavetrain from Figure 6.14a that demonstrates how periodic even the lowest amplitude pH oscillations can be.
To probe the nature of this conditioning, we conducted a DC magnetic field polarity experiment using the experimental

setup shown in Figure 6.15. With this configuration, one can readily measure any water pH changes associated with the north pole versus the south pole pointing upwards without altering the basic cylindrical symmetry of the field. When one conducts this pH measurement experiment in a typical laboratory environment were no conditioning has occurred, one observes two things:
1. There is no measurable difference between the N-pole up case and the S-pole up case.
2. There is no measurable pH change in the water for either field polarity (for field strengths ≤500 G).
On the other hand, when one makes such measurements in a “conditioned” locale, the results are remarkably dif-ferent. There, one generally finds a marked difference for ΔpH = pH(S) − pH(N). Figure 6.17 demonstrates an example wherein ΔpH grows in magnitude with the passage of time to attain a maximum value of ~0.60 pH units.
To demonstrate both simultaneous water and air temper-ature (T) oscillations plus the correlation between them, a Faraday cage with a central water vessel was set up in one conditioned space (purified water plus 1 gm of fine-grained ZnCO3 powder, surface area = 21.4 m2/g, was added to 250 mL of ASTM-type 1 purified water in a polypropylene bottle). High-resolution digital thermometers were located with the local geometry shown in Figure 6.16. Figure 6.18a shows the air T oscillations at the 15.25 cm (6″) location out-side the cage plus the water T and water pH in the vessel located inside the cage. Figure 6.18b is an expanded view of the data collected just before that shown in Figure 6.18a while Figure 6.18c shows the amplitude spectrum for a por-tion of this data (from hour 9 to hour 17.5 in Figure 6.18b).
These air T oscillations are huge (~230 times our best mea-surement accuracy and ~3500 times the resolution), and all have the same waveform. Figure 6.18d illustrates the compar-ative amplitude spectra data for simultaneous T and pH oscil-lations taken in this vessel of water 2 days earlier (oscillation data shown in inset). Again, the same wave shape (revealed by the nesting of the amplitude spectra) is exhibited for these two very different material properties.
To illustrate that the Figure 6.18 results were not generated by some type of natural convection phenomenon, a mechani-cal fan experiment was conducted in a strongly conditioned space. The focus of this experiment was to see if the air T oscillations would be strongly influenced by the forced con-vection from a mechanical fan. The furniture arrangement in the conditioned room, including both the location of the water vessel inside its Faraday cage (similar to Figure 6.16 configuration) adjacent to a monitoring computer and the two fan locations, X (one on the floor) and Y (on a desktop) is shown in Figure 6.19. Temperature measurements outside of the Faraday cage occurred at 15.25 cm (6 in.) intervals out to 3.35 m (11 ft). High-resolution digital thermometers (resolu-tion = 0.001°C) were used in the water and at 30.5 cm (1 ft) outside the cage. Lower resolution, digital thermometers (res-olution = 0.1°C) were used in the air inside the cage and at all other locations outside the cage. All measurements were computer monitored.
Earlier measurements had shown that the major floor–ceil-ing temperature gradients occurred between the floor and
~1 m (3–4 ft) above the floor; thus, we started with the fan at position X (on the floor) and operated it for 55 h. Later, the fan was moved to position Y and operated for 42 h. For compari-son purposes, a 24-h period, real-time record of the T oscilla-tions for the three cases of (i) no fan, (ii) fan at X, and (iii) fan at Y are given in Figure 6.20. From Figure 6.20, it seems clear

that these T oscillations neither cease nor change in a signifi-cant way due to the operation of the fan. It is also clear that the total oscillation ΔT excursion is a large percentage (sometimes 100%) of the total diurnal temperature variation in this room.
As the 3 m (10 ft) measuring point was in the hallway outside the office depicted in Figure 6.19, it was possible to close the office door and compare the T oscillations both inside the Faraday cage with those outside in the hallway.

harmonics, despite the fact that they were separated by a 3 m (10 ft) distance, a closed door, and a Faraday cage. Clearly, it is predominantly something other than standard air that is being monitored here (perhaps the vacuum phase within the air molecules?)!
