Experiment - B
It was similar to A, except in place of alternating baseline with intervention, baseline testing was first repeated ten times (each with 20 runs) as pre-test and that was followed after ten days by a similar repetition of intervention as a posttest, as under:
Baseline - Baseline (10 times) INTERVAL OF 10 DAYS Intervention - Intervention (10 times).
-
The results of this test both at baseline and intervention level were consistent hence only these have been recorded here and discussed.
Experiment - C
Having standardising the procedure with consistent results it was thought worthwhile to evaluate three more factors and see, whether this study can be carried out with similar effectiveness if :
1. runs for a session are reduced to ten or even five;
2. only the knowledge of the properties of consciousness is provided to a regular meditator but no special training of meditation i.e., (Animesh Preksha);
3. a householder meditator or even non-meditator(s) are selected as subject(s);
Hence Experiment C and D were designed accordingly :
Experiment B was repeated on a householder meditator, co-investigator (B.P.G.) practising Transcendental Meditation and Preksha Meditation for the last 22 years. Runs for a session were reduced from 20 to 10 only and special training of meditation was also excluded for the subject.
Experiment - D
Having evaluated the procedure on individual meditators with consistent results it was considered worthwhile to evaluate it on non-meditator(s). It was thought that for an individual non-meditator it may not be easy to apply the properties of consciousness by focussing and steadying the awareness on the cards satisfactorily without a long practice of meditation. So it was assumed that in case of non-meditators assessment of operation of ESP faculty would be more reliable if number of replicates are tested and average is taken. Further, it will be more evident if subjects are given the training of focussing and steadying awareness towards the cards itself. An ideal duration of such training for nonmeditators would be 20 minutes at a time. Therefore, a session of five runs was planned for training as well as for testing.
