| BACKGROUND:
The Human Connection
(HC) Project is designed to help shift the separative "mind-set"
of humanity. It is our sense that our interconnectedness
needs to be felt and thought, intuitively by every human being.
This project intends to present the following scientifically
derived images of human interconnectedness via news reports,
print media, talk show formats, feature documentaries and
dramatic films.
1.International multi-cultural
audiences will see images, specifically prepared for popular
television news programs, of physiological interactivity between
and among people located in widely separated geographic locations,
using split-screen presentations.
2.People that are either
friends or strangers will belong to different groups with
five members each. Well known celebrities as well as groups
of Buddhist monks will form teams heightening public interest.
A member from each group will be positioned at one of five
cooperating neuroscientific laboratories located in both North
American and European cities.
3.Experimentally-derived,
physiological data will be graphically represented on scientific
instruments showing subtle changes in person-to-person, mind/body
interaction, as people from each group, in turn, "covertly"
focus their attention on one of the four members on their
group over one-way video teleconferencing equipment.
4.A narrative will help
viewers grasp that all people are united by an interactive
creative awareness, showing the general public that our interest
or indifference towards one another affects each of us individually
and by implication the health and well-being of humanity
5.News releases carrying
commentary on these images will announce:
"A large scale cooperative multinational scientific experiment
has recently gathered evidence that people of all races are
aligned or misaligned personally and socially by how they
pay attention to each other. In short, how we pay attention
to ourselves, to one another and to Nature determines the
quality of our relationship's, in very concrete tangible ways."
Rationale:
When a person is presented with a sensation, feeling, thought
or intuition, it takes millions of cooperating brain cells,
orchestrating together, for these perceptions to reach consciousness.
Approximately 97% of what happens in our so-called "consciousness"
remains unconscious. Similarly, within the "global
brain," millions of people may need to perceive compelling
"Seeing is Believing" evidence of being linked together
for humanity to have a conscious perception of being interconnected.
A series of 90-second
news releases presenting evidence of collective consciousness
to the world could trigger a whole-system-transition, integrating
the overall consciousness of humanity. The Human Connection
Project contends that millions of people will share a greater
sense of belonging together after watching extensive media
announcements and presentations. Out of this heightened
sense of connection to a larger whole, it is predicted that
a new level of shared intelligence, compassion, and creativity
will begin to develop among people. This might help
us untangle the divisive characteristics of personal, familial,
cultural, national and economic boundaries, bringing us a
step closer to a peaceful and balanced planetary civilization.
Complementary ways of
rapidly accessing a state of deep group rapport have been
developed that support these scientific, media-based methods.
A state referred to as Planetary Consciousness is often achieved,
an unmistakable sense of existing in a unity with all people
and the whole of nature.
These techniques, the
Group Insight Game among them, are useful for consensual
decision making allowing organizations to by-pass hours of
meeting time. By effortlessly producing and attracting
beneficial behavior patterns, these processes strengthen originality,
authenticity and creativity. Individual participants
in a group learn to be led by a collective intelligence that
is greater than any one of its members. Making businesses
more competitive through spirited cooperation could
change the way we do business. Corporate consultants
and experts in leadership have so far responded enthusiastically.
Having completed the
first phase of the project, funded by the Mind Science Foundation,
the Fetzer Institute, and various individuals, we are currently
seeking $805K to finance the remaining 3 phases.
