Collective Consciousness and Global Events:
Connection: The noosphere is expressed through moments of synchronized human consciousness, such as during major global events (e.g., 9/11, global meditations). The Global Consciousness Project (GCP), which you asked about, explores this by measuring deviations in random number generators (RNGs) during such events, hypothesizing that collective attention or emotion creates a “coherent” consciousness field.
GCP Insights: The GCP’s data, showing a 7-sigma deviation from randomness across 500+ events (1998–2017), suggests that collective consciousness may influence physical systems, supporting the idea of a noosphere as a measurable phenomenon. For example, significant RNG deviations during 9/11 (odds of 1 in 32) imply a global alignment of human focus, a hallmark of the noosphere.
