This September we held our 19^th and final Advanced Workshop, marking the end of almost five years of scientific testing. Of the 700+ students in attendance at Indian Wells Resort in Palm Springs, California, 82% were first time participants. The group was excited, enthusiastic, willing, and coherent. As a result, the energy we recorded in the room broke all records of our previous workshop measurements. In addition, according to our Sputnik measurements, this particular group’s pineal gland meditation was one of the best ever.

As usual, we had volunteer students—interested in furthering scientific discovery—connected to heart-rate-variability monitors to measure heart coherence. We also measured the energy around people’s bodies before and after the event using GVD readings. One of the most notable aspects of the event was how the energy in the room grew after every meditation. This was unique because usually the group energy dips at various points throughout the four days. At the end of each day, we showed our students how the energy they contributed to the field continued to rise—energy that was available to heal bodies, create futures, and manifest mystical experiences.

On the last day of the event we recorded our highest room measurements ever. The previous record was from Bonn, Germany with a group of 1550 people. The fact that we had more energy in the room at the end of the Indian Wells than in Bonn, Germany is fascinating because it means there was more energy in the room with less than half the people. In other words, we had half the matter and twice the energy, or to say it yet another way—half the particles and twice the intensity of the wave function. This is a good indicator that these people were connected and emitting and contributing energy to the field. In addition, the energy in the room continued to rise when our students were doing the walking meditations at a considerable distance from the room. As they walked as their future selves in another location, both days we practiced the walking meditation the energy in the room rose higher than what was recorded at our first meditation of the event. Think about that. This suggests that as our students were walking at a significant distance from the ballroom, the location where they were the previous day was being affected. Is it possible then that what they were doing would affect where they were (the past), where they are (the present), and where they will be (their future)? This portends to the fact that when you change your energy, you affect all aspects of your life.

Together, We’ve Made Scientific History

When we began our Advanced Workshop in 2013, we wanted to see if we could quantitatively measure transformation. We did this by performing pre and post-studies on the brain to determine if after four days of training, we could objectively measure that changes were happening not just in a person’s mind, but in their brain. We also sought to measure levels of coherence (both in the brain and the heart), the way certain areas of the brain communicate with each other, and what happens during the meditative process when people overcome themselves and really connect to the unified field. We measured the amount of energy a person came to the event with and how that had changed when they left. We were able to record, measure, and demonstrate how a person could influence their energy centers by affecting their autonomic nervous system. Finally, in years past, before we began taking measurements, people would often say the energy in the room was incredibly high, so we wanted to see if that is actually true. Turns out it is.

Other things we wanted to explore was to see if a person could sustain heart coherence for an extended period of time. Could our students regulate internal states independent of conditions in their environment—and thus make it a skill? We also wanted to measure genetic changes, neurotransmitters, protein expression (as a result of genetic changes), and hormonal changes.

I’m pleased to say we did all these things with greater results than we could ever have imagined. As a consequence, we made scientific history, the results of which are compiled in my new book Becoming Supernatural: How Common People Are Doing the Uncommon, due out at the end of October. When we began our measurements, I never thought we would see the kind of measurements we recorded—measurements that are so profoundly outside of natural and normal—but measurements that prove we all have the ability to be supernatural.

The transition of 2017 to 2018 marks the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. While we’ll still be performing some scientific measurements, the format of our workshops will become week long retreats. Why? Because at the end of a few days, when people are just starting to break through, they have to go home. So I thought—what will happen if we give them a little more time to retreat from their lives so they can really create a new future and really become supernatural?

I suspect we’ll be making more scientific history, but at a much more grand and personal level for our students. Our students will no longer be studying history—they’ll be making history.
