I was thinking earlier so many claim to have seen results regarding the power of thought. Being a fair few in number here on ATS I thought perhaps we could try a little thought experiment, you know set a date and time, concentrate, and see if we can somehow effect reality on a physical level. What do you guys think?

If you'd like to take part please say and it would be great if you can give a suggestion as to what it is we can collectively think about.

I'm a firm believer in the practical side of life and proving half truths/beliefs so why don't we give it a go!

I would be willing to participate!

I wouldn't know where to begin however in the thought! Probably start small but not just a general thing!

Sounds like a fun experiment. Count me in.

Something on the same order was done before on ATS but I didn't follow it.

Just name the time and subject and I'll give it my all.

I'd like to participate.

Could I suggest having a 'trial run' before we try anything really spectacular?

Maybe all join minds and thoughts on something fairly trivial to see if we get a connection. It might take a few attempts but when we feel confident we are more likely to be successful.

Please, set a time and date allowing for all our different time zones - then after the experiment we can all come back to this thread to post our thoughts on what happened.

I would definitely be in as well, sounds like a lot of fun, and an interesting experiment! Just name the time and thought and I'll be there.

I'm in, too.

The more I learn about the power of thought, the more amazing my life has become. I'm eager to participate!

Ok. What should we concentrate on? It must be something we can all see the results of. It should be an interesting project.

This sounds like a good idea , count me in As far as I know there were a few attempts at this already but I dont know what the results were or if they managed to get a group together to do it .

It would be a cool experiment!

It would have to be something pretty easy to focus on and easy to distinguish that we actually effected it.

Any ideas on what and when?

I only say we should focus on something small cause theres only so many memebers here we probably wont be able to end world hunger cause thats a pretty massive undertaking.

Just send me a U2U when you figure out what it is you want me to think about and I'll be glad to try it out.

You may also want to note down how many people actually believe it will work vs. how many believe it will fail. I'm one who believes it will have no effect whatsoever but I still like the idea and am not close minded.

A good way to start something like this would be individually. What I mean is, if you have a great number of people thinking a positive thought for a single person, that person will be more likely to reap the benefits and acknowledge the actual change in their reality because of it.

We could make a list and do it for everyone, making everyones life a bit better one thought bomb at a time.

I'm interested too. I'll u2u directly.

Sounds like an interesting experiment pharaohmoan.
I would be more than happy to try to make impact on reality in someway.

Do you have any ideas on what kind of scale you would like to see as far as results are concerned. Is there something you would like to effect in this thought experiment ?

Maybe you could take a picture of a small object and place it in this thread and then in a short while set a day in which we could concentrate on it and effect it in someway.

So what do the rest of you and pharaohmoan think ?

Correction! I just checked and the midpoint of the power hour is now 10:32pm Eastern Standard Time(North America).

How about that:

Someone set up a webcam that point to, say, a psy wheel. Then he or she or it post a picture of the wheel, so we have something to concentrate on and decides whether to turn it to the left or the right. Lastly, set date and time and record whether there is any movement of the wheel.
