2. In experiment C, the scores of ESP test (m = 8.03) increased significantly
after intervention (P<.001) as compared to the baseline (m = 4.70) (Sec Table 1.1 and Fig. 1.)

It is noteworthy that the increase in ESP scores remained almost similar irrespective of the fact that study was conducted on a monk or a householder, the runs for test were 20 or 10, and the subject had special training (as in case of monk) or regular meditational practice only.
3. In experiment D, on groups of non-meditators, while at the pre
experimental stage there were no significant differences between experimental and control group in respect to their ESP scores, the difference became statistically significant (P<.025) at post I cxperimental stage and further increased (P<.01) at post Il experimental stage. The data in Table 1.2 indicate that scores in the experimental group raised from m = 5.39 to m = 7.03 only (P<.005) but in the control group it could rise from m = 5.17 to 5.97 only (P is not significant). Thus when the study was conducted on a group of 30 young students then also the effect of applying the properties of consciousness was significantly clear as found in experiment B and C. (See Table 1.2 and Fig. 2.)
