It is also interesting to note that the ESP scores also increased in the control group from pre-experimental stage to post-I and then again to post-II successively. This may be because the inherent faculty of consciousness may start functioning naturally without knowing the procedure or training in activating the properties of consciousness but its level remains very low. On the other hand when the experimental group of students applied ESP with a training or we can say with a deliberate application of properties of consciousness the rate at which the ESP increased in two stages were significantly high. Thus, the faculty of ESP is there
en efforts are made to activate it, it improves as reflected in the ESP scores.
While the ESP scores at baseline of a monk and a householder (m = 4.63 and 4.07) as well as the control and experimental groups of students were at par, the later group (both students groups) had a higher score as compared to that of the monk and householder. This may be because in student groups, the number of the subjects was high and some subjects had ESP scores as high as 7.8 (mean) and that may have led to a high ESP scores.
Further the increase in ESP scores of both individual meditators are higher as compared to the students group. This may be because the monk and householder have better ability for applying the properties of consciousness because of their regular practice of meditation.
Feedback of correct or incorrect response of each trial of a subject was not provided during any test or even in training period because it may work as a motivation factor. Contrary to it, authors fcel that if ESP exist and properties of consciousness play any role in it then trial by trial feedback may be helpful in understanding the correct application of consciousness and further in the development of the faculty, ESP. It is a matter of consideration for future study.
In this preliminary study only 30 students were selected as subjects that too
ne organization but if the number is increased and different groups of students are taken then much more comprehensive results are likely to be achieved and better appreciated. In this study increase in the ESP scores statistically significant but to harness the higher states of consciousness and its faculties like ESP there is lot to be done. Thus, there is a need and scope in the future to conduct such studies to verify the facts and draw conclusions thereof. Secondly this study was conducted by the use of ESP cards only, there should Tot 451 3790-farar, 2000 VIIMUUNNI TTITUTIINITZ 133
