Art Bell and Princeton’s Mass Consciousness Experiment—conducted twice on October 18–19, 2001, using 39 global sensors—revealed statistically impossible spikes in randomness (100:1 odds), hinting at collective mental influence. Callers shared anecdotes like synchronicity, animal reactions to his show’s music, and Native American teachings on spirit-directed action, while Bell warned of unintended consequences, comparing the phenomenon to HAARP’s potential misuse or nuclear risks. Though theories from The Science of Mind (Holmes) and Einstein’s mind-matter ideas align with the findings, Bell insists further study is needed before harnessing such power, fearing even well-intentioned experiments could trigger unpredictable global effects. [Automatically generated summary]
You all know, maybe you don't know, those who are just listening tonight didn't listen last night, at shortly after 10 o'clock last night, we conducted a two-part experiment for Rush Limbaugh, who's losing his hearing, has lost actually almost all his hearing, and may lose the rest of it.
And for all intents and purposes, of course, he's without hearing, he's deaf.
And so I tried another grand experiment last night.
We all did.
All of us who were participating.
Believe me, I'm about to freak you out, too.
This happened like 10 minutes before the program, like so many things do.
I had an incredible day today, incidentally, with Crystal Gale, and you can take a look at the pictures on the website.
I've got them up right now.
What has...
Princeton in New Jersey is monitoring these...
The system at Princeton Richard does what?
unidentified
It measures random noise.
It measures static, basically.
And then it assigns numbers to that static in a computer so you can actually read it like a graph.
And normally, nothing happens.
You know, you've got like a zero line that fluctuates, you know, little spikes above and below, just like grass growing.
Think of it as grass on a graph.
But every once in a while, when they've been looking at this now going back to 96, 97, they get these spikes, these very incredible increases that go 100 to 1 odds, 1,000 to 1 odds against chance, meaning that out of 100 times you would do this, only one out of those 100 times would you get that effect.
They knew that we were going to try and experiment, and so they were essentially listening, you know, like SETI might be listening, except they're listening for...
In randomness, which we believe, conjecture it would be, we believe is produced by many, many people thinking of the same thing, in essence, at the same time.
We're going to basically do open lines, but I'll tell you, I had to, just in case there are new listeners right now, I had to get Richard on to explain the basis of it.
I have, here it is, in front of me, and Keith, my webmaster, is in Las Vegas right now, and I will have him get up the official graph itself as soon as he gets to a computer.
But he's, you know, at a show or having fun or doing something.
So all I could think to do to show you was to bring up my webcam, which I've done.
My webcam has taken a picture of the email graph that we received from Princeton.
And here's the thing that's going to make you sit down and go, whatever it is you go.
I went, oh, oh my God.
We conducted sort of a two-part experiment after 10 o'clock, between 10 and 11.
And it was at the bottom of the hour, and then again at the top of the hour.
And I've got to tell you all, here it is in black and white.
On the bottom, you will see the hours involved.
2,100 is 9 o'clock.
2,300 is 11 o'clock for those of you that don't know military time.
That's along the bottom.
Now, how do you get to this?
you go to my website at artbell.com, artbell.com, click on program, and then click on Art Bell Studio Cam.
Because that's the only way I could get this graph on the website quickly, was to take a webcam picture of it.
We'll have the detailed graph up there a little later for you, but I took a picture of it with my webcam, so go up there and look at it.
And if this doesn't blow your mind, nothing ever will.
Beginning at a little bit, right at 10 o'clock, actually right at 10 o'clock.
And then goes obviously through 11 o'clock and a little after.
In other words, when we did this, the 39 sensors around the world fed sudden information to Princeton that produced a breath that just went up off scale.
Not got really off scale, but by God right to the top of the scale anyway.
Oh my.
Now, the scientists at Princeton are now going to want to experiment pretty much with us because of what we just did.
Take a look yourself.
I'm telling you, this is a sit-down, look at it and go, oh my God.
The chart seems to cover from September 10th all the way through, make that September 18th all the way through September 19th.
And so you're going to look at all that time.
And exactly, folks, when we did the experiment last night, she took off.
It is an absolute vertical spike.
Actually, two spikes.
Two gigantic spikes.
As you might imagine, the times when we did this.
Now, the people at Princeton are scientists, and, you know, it's going to be their attitude, of course, that, well, they'll probably go, I go, oh my God, and you will too, but the scientists, I'm sure, go, hmm, hmm, what has happened here?
We need to do this again.
So we're going to be getting together with the people at Princeton, and we are going to accommodate them in one way or the other.
But I'm telling you right now, when you see this, your blood is going to turn cold or warm, depending.
Now, this may not be proof to the scientists at Princeton because they'll go, hmm.
You know, they'll need it to happen, I guess, on some sort of regularly scheduled or random basis so they have control and they can prove it.
But when you see this, I guarantee, you're going to go, holy mackerel, I was part of that.
I did that.
All those minds that work at once caused this spike to just jump out of nothing right at the time we did it.
No other spike even remotely close to it in the two-day watch period that we've got on the graph until we did that and right up to the top of the chart we went.
Never in my life, you know, I was convinced anyway that it worked with all the experiments we had done with regard to the weather and healing and things we've done like that.
But to see it right up almost off the chart completely at the time we did it last night, well, all I can say is you've got to see it.
So if you want to see it, if you want to see visual proof of what we did last night from Princeton on my webcam right now, take a look.
You click on program and then look over on the right-hand side for Art Bell Studio Cam and click on that because that's the only thing I could do given just a couple of seconds before airtime.
But it's eminently readable.
And for those of you who participated in this, I'm telling you, you're going to go through the roof.
But of course, anybody that's followed the process of government throughout history, once a government has been given a certain amount of power, it always speaks more.
And to suggest that our government is different because it's America, I guess that just shows how historically ignorant the American people have become.
unidentified
Because in a real sense, these things are our fault.
To my satisfaction, I'm sure not to Princeton's, but believe me to my satisfaction, we have just proven that millions of minds, hundreds of thousands, millions, whatever the number of the audience that decided to participate last night in this experiment, we have just proven what they can do.
Got the proof.
Princeton will want repeatability.
But I don't have one second of doubt about being able to repeat this.
In my mind, you see, we've done it many, many times.
My threshold of proof has already been passed.
I'm sure Princeton's will take a little more, but we wowed them, all right?
This is amazing.
Absolutely amazing.
Go to my website and look at what we did.
This really, it really does bear some thought.
Well, that's item one.
Item two is what an incredible, and maybe it's the exactly, it's just the exact appropriate time to do this.
So I just, yeah, I will do it now.
So earlier today, as you know, I have always really had a thing for Crystal Gale.
The voice of an angel, waiting for the times to get better.
So many songs that, you know, that I play here on the air.
Well, Crystal is performing in Las Vegas, and so she took the time and trouble, bless her heart, to come out and have lunch with Ramona and myself today.
I've played and played those songs here on the show.
Crystal made a record about this program.
She made a record about this program.
If you listen carefully to the words in the song you're band, what a song it is, to the song you're about to hear, you'll understand this song is about coast.
And I guess me.
And she presented this to me when she came out this afternoon.
And it's really excellent.
So turn up your radios, will you please?
This song, let me tell you, is not available anywhere yet.
Crystal just came to sort of present it to me.
The pictures of Crystal are also on my website at artarto.com, the ones we took today during her visit.
But this is such an honor.
I mean, it really is an honor.
She sang the song for me.
Here it is.
Listen carefully.
This is good stuff.

���� Midnight in the desert, shooting stars across the sky.
This magical journey will get the sun arise.
You with an army to keep all the truth.
make it till tomorrow
I'm going to leave the moon.
really nice guitar.
The night in the desert, and there's whistle in the air.
And then, of course, to get a visit at your home by one of your favorite singers in all the world, Crystal Gale, that was also a topper.
And those photographs are on the website as well, so you've got lots of reason to go to arthel.com right now.
I hope we don't kick down a server doing this because Keith, as I mentioned, is here in Las Vegas.
We'll get a good, detailed copy of this graph up just as soon as we can.
Okay?
This would be a good bumper going into the break.
One more time for just a second.
Here's Crystal Gale.

You're listening to Artfell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight's an oncourt presentation of Coast to Coast AM from October 19th, 2001.
This magical journey will take us on a ride.
Filled with belonging, to seek for the truth.
We make it to tomorrow for the sun to shine on you.
Midnight in the desert, summer lesson, ooh, I'll lesson to you.
Oh, my.
And breathe the name of the lady's thing.
He called him talk, and I heard him say that she had the longest, longest hair, the prettiest dream that I was anywhere, and the reason ain't probably displayed.
Though I smiled, the tears inside were burning, I wished him loved him, and he said goodbye.
He was gone, but still his words kept repenting, for it was a little spare for me to do a crime.
Would you believe that yesterday, this girl was enveloped towards me, she'd be my turn to me, and the reason ain't probably explained.
Though I smiled, the tears inside were burning, I wished him loved him, and he said goodbye.
You're listening to Watch Bell somewhere in time, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AI from October 19th, 2001.
There is news in the world that I should be telling you about, so I'm going to do that briefly, and then we will begin our adventure into open lines for the night.
unidentified
Shandler!
Thank you.
Now we take you back to the night of October 19, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
You know, all doubt, frankly, to be honest with you about doing this, was gone before this experiment.
Admittedly, I'm incredibly excited about this.
I mean, how could you not be?
Those of you who have been listening for years, those who participated in the experiment last night, and especially those who participated in years past, there's going to be no question in your mind.
Now, the question is, should we go ahead and prove it to the scientists?
Should we do encore performances and drive their graph up off the charts?
Again, just for the sake of science?
I really don't need it proven to me.
My questions are, are different like what do we do with it Bus of the Rockies you're on the air.
Hello.
Art, yes.
unidentified
Oh, what a lucky man.
You get to see Crystal Gale and you have the honor of speaking with me.
I guess this is where I want to go.
I'd like to throw out something and I'd like to make a comment afterwards.
My theory of consciousness, as maybe Richard can understand this, Mr. Hopeland, is that astronomy, lit by all the suns and stars, schools or educates biology from the one-celled mind all the way to the human mind, where life lives on life and nations war upon all other nations, armed with the knowledge we learn from the violent suns and stars in a universal search for answers to these questions.
Who are we, where do we come from, and where are we going?
For one thing, even though I appreciate your suggestion, sir, I don't want to do that because it's self-serving, and I have a feeling, pretty strong feeling, actually, that whatever this power is, is incredible power.
It's not to be used in a self-serving manner.
Put another way, even a selfish way, I would rather not risk it.
You know, I'm not beyond, look, I'm not beyond thinking that something could go wrong here.
Something could go wrong.
And it may be that using it in some self-serving manner would be just the switch that I don't want to click.
So I hope you all follow me in that regard.
One, I think it would be self-serving and wrong.
And two, it may be that self-serving is wrong.
and that could cause it to backfire.
Look, we don't...
I don't...
How we're doing it.
I have theories.
I think the whole collective consciousness thing is a theory.
We don't know that that's it.
We know there's a collective currents, but we don't know what the power does, how it does it, what medium it moves through, whether it's actually a collective consciousness or it's many separate consciousnesses that are simply registering as one.
There's not much we know about all of this yet.
These would be very Early days with regard to what we did and now may have proven.
We can't just pluck an answer using the method we just used about cancer.
But, you know, maybe somewhere down the line, if somebody runs with this and begins to learn about this power, whatever it is, who knows?
Maybe there is that.
unidentified
Yeah, because I was thinking, you know, since there's nothing known about it, or very little for that matter, you don't know the potential.
And, I mean, maybe, you know, the collective consciousness could crack, you know, some nugget of an idea in a scientist's mind to where he could say, whoa, you know, no question about it.
I'm awed by the whole thing, and I'm not sure what it means.
I'm just sure we did it.
unidentified
Yeah, I don't think it would be, you know, a bad idea to, you know, try that, you know, not knowing maybe it won't work, but I don't think it hurts to try.
Well, what I want to say is I think you should do the experiment again.
I mean, because while you don't need the proof, and I mean, I believe it's true, you have an opportunity that probably not many other people in the world have the opportunity, and that is to organize something like this again and to prove it to the rest of the world.
I wonder what the consequences, what do you think the consequences of proving it to the rest of the world are?
In other words, it's so radical, and I believe we could do it.
We could do it.
But if we prove this to the world, there's going to be a whole lot of change in thinking going on out there.
unidentified
That's true.
I mean, we can't really foresee what the consequences will be, but the idea of keeping this hidden doesn't seem like the right thing either.
And actually, as another experiment, given what's gone on in this country, what if you organized a session where your audience really focused on the idea of peace and prosperity?
Would that have any effect on what the terrorists have done?
You would think that concentrating on the subject of peace would be a really good thing, right?
Yes.
Now, I'm going to imagine a complication for you.
Okay.
Suppose the concept of peace is somehow interjected strongly to the collective consciousness, something this graph proves, I guess, you can do.
The question has got to be, sir, what if we're in the middle of war, wanting to have war, because we're going to get these bastards that attacked our nation, and somehow something for peace would cause us not to succeed in our effort.
Do you understand what I'm worried about when I say I don't understand this power?
unidentified
Yes, I mean, there are obviously no one can really know all the consequences down the road, but it just seems to me something like peace.
Well, you remember all the episodes where somebody thought they had it absolutely made and it just somehow always turns out wrong?
You've seen them, right?
That's what I'm worried about.
unidentified
I mean, I understand that, but I just hardly understand or accept that if all these people are really thinking thoughts along the line of peace, and also I would throw in prosperity just to make sure it's not like a bad kind of peace.
Well, then you have to begin thinking, well, then why not become more specific and why not say peace after victory, right?
Right?
Yeah.
But you see, I just, I see so many possible pitfalls.
The Twilight Zone.
You know, Rod Serling.
Well, he thought it was going to be this way, but he never anticipated X, right?
That's how it could happen.
And that's why I'm afraid of this, because I don't understand all of it.
I'm Art Bell.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from October 19th, 2001.
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
The sight of the touch, or the sink of the sound, or the strength of an earthquake deep in the ground.
To wind and the flowers to be covered and then to burst up through tarmac to the sun again.
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing, to lie in a meadow and hear the grass sing, all these things in our memory sore, and leave it soon to come.
Oh, come on.
Oh, come on.
The night's program originally aired October 19th, 2001.
I'll tell you, I just almost don't know how to proceed.
It's been such a day.
It's been an incredible day.
I mean, to have Crystal Gale here.
And by the way, we're going to speak with Crystal Gale here in a few moments, if I can get through, I think.
So, let me see.
How am I going to do it?
I've got to figure out how I can do this.
I know how I can do it.
I can slip in one additional commercial, and that'll let me dial.
I've got the information to dial for Crystal Gale right now.
and this graph oh my god the graph I just I don't know what we're going to I I really got to think that over.
My original inclination on this grand experiment was, Arthur, you don't know what you're doing.
And something is obviously happening, but you really don't know what you're doing.
And if you don't stop, Rod Serling will be there with the big catch, and it's going to catch you.
So, but what we have proven here, and to those who have participated before, no further proof needed, I'm sure.
To the scientists, there will be, of course, but what do they know?
Man.
Oh, oh, man.
Anyway, here we go.

You know, there is terrorism out there, so in an effort to try to fight it or combat it, we give up these rights.
I'm convinced that there are groups out there, sinister, powerful groups, that would create this terror to continue to control us.
But of course, anybody that's followed the process of government throughout history, once a government has been given a certain amount of power, it always speaks more.
And to suggest that our government is different because it's America, I guess that just shows how historically ignorant the American people have become.
Because in a real sense, these things are our fault.
Americans are, in fact, now trading liberty for security.
Every day, this is going to happen now in our future, that we're going to allow this.
unidentified
It's just a matter of time.
Now we take you back to the night of October 19th, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Well, you know, I have listened to it about 20 times since you were here today, at least 20 times, and I have never heard anything that so well captures the exact...
It captures the place where I live, this strange desert, perfectly.
It captures the mood of the show perfectly.
How did all that happen?
unidentified
Well, from listening.
You know, just being part of it.
You bring in everybody.
You bring everybody a part of your show.
So I think just feeling the emotion of your show, it all came together.
Well we just I don't know whether you had an opportunity to listen last hour.
You probably didn't.
But we did this grand experiment last night.
Princeton University is conducting an experiment.
They have been without our knowledge for a long time now, Crystal.
And they have these random number generator computers.
They just spit out random numbers.
Kind of like if you saw a visual of it, it would be like your TV screen, you know, where you just see the noise on the screen when there's no signal, the little dots jumping all around.
That's random.
And we have tried all these experiments with mass mind concentration.
And Princeton has been monitoring the results of this from about 39 places around the world.
And they actually produce a graph, kind of like a Richter scale.
And we did this grand experiment last night.
And just before airtime tonight, Crystal, we got this graph of what happened last night at 10 o'clock.
We've got two days of graph.
And last night at 10 o'clock, it went 100 times above normal when we were doing this experiment.
We produced, in other words, an effect in the mass consciousness, the big pool that's out there, whatever, but they sure did register it like a giant earthquake.
But you know, it does something, what it does to us psychologically, you know, even if it's only for five minutes and then go back to that, you know, how we were, but only for just a few minutes of holding that.
And to me, that's kind of what Jesus must have meant when he said, pray for our enemies.
Because it got so silly that after a while I was thinking, you know, how can love and hate coexist in the same existence?
The reason why, you can send them to me in email, and we can get links up that way, but we don't let people do it because of tragedy in the past, my dear.
They gave out some web links, and it was women without clothes.
This is one of the most significant days in my life.
You know, there are marker days in your life.
Well, this is a marker day.
Crystal Gale came to lunch.
She sang what I'm going to call the song, Midnight in the Desert, which is, I don't know, in every way captures this show dead on the money.
And then just prior to airtime, the great experiment that we ran last night in conjunction with Princeton University came blasting in in my email.
And I'm telling you, we nailed it to the wall.
If you want to see for yourself, there are two things, by the way, to see on the website right now.
One is a few snapshots I took of Crystal Gale's visit this afternoon.
That's under What's New.
It says Crystal Gale visits art.
And you'll see about three photographs there with Ramona, with myself.
And then if you go down to program just below it and go to Art Bell's Studio Cam, because Keith is at a show himself in Las Vegas, this graph came bursting through my email from Princeton through Richard Hoagland.
And last night when we did the experiment, it just went off the chart, folks.
Off the chart over a two-day period.
It's going to blow your mind.
That's all I can tell you.
And in a moment, I'm sure we'll talk more about all of this.
but definitely a marker day in my life.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight's an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from October 19th, 2001.
What I really called to discuss with you was that really we must document this success of an experiment for, well, if for no other reason for posterity.
You know, the scientists, usually the established minds in academia do tend to be fairly rigid, and they may not accept this no matter what you do, but sooner or later they will move over and new folks will come in and replace them.
Yeah, I know, I know, but do we really want that to happen?
I mean, if I were to stop it right now, if I were to stop it right now, it might be known to the people who have listened to this program, but it might not go further.
Now, on the other hand, if we nail it, which I know we can do, I don't even have a doubt, then what are the implications of that?
This is a power that I don't even begin to understand.
Do you?
unidentified
Maybe begin.
Some weeks ago, there was a guest on your show, Greg Braden, who wrote the Isaiah Effect.
If we had had 800 people conducting an experiment like this last night, I'm sure it's hard for scientists to marshal those kinds of numbers, you know, reliably.
But assuming we could get, you know, exactly 800 and then compare the size of the spike to the spike we produced last night on this graph, what do you think we would see?
Would it be by number, you know, we had millions last night.
This is where you are special, Arthur, and shouldn't waste your opportunity this is your chance this is our chance to actually sway things for the better yeah maybe maybe you know to effect a mass healing on our consciousness maybe maybe uh i all right thanks listen thank you for the call i'm i'm chewing hard on this believe me all right you have a good evening right you two you have a good evening yeah you
Well, usually I go by gut feeling.
I fly by the seat of my pants.
I have all my life.
Now, what we have stumbled into here, it's so significant, so powerful, so incredible, that, you know, I tell you, the first vibes deep in my belly when we got further into the experiments we did a few years ago was be careful, be careful, Art, be careful.
You don't know what the hell you're doing, Art.
Collectively, we really don't know what we're doing and what the possible implications are.
And now, even more than ever, I have that gnawing feeling that, oh, yes, we've proven this, but...
But something bad could happen, too.
I just have this feeling that something bad could happen.
You could make a mistake.
I'm like...
You know, I guess I'm like a neophyte stumbling in and sitting down in front of a modern Pentium 4 computer and starting to program.
You know, the odds of doing something wrong are pretty high.
So you had this thought prior to your partner on the roof slipping, but not falling all the way, as you had anticipated he might with the feeling you had.
Is that correct?
unidentified
It wasn't the feeling that he was going to necessarily fall off the roof.
It was just the feeling that he was going to slip.
Is there any way in your mind that you can know for sure, I want an honest answer here, that what you felt about his slipping didn't, in fact, cause him to slip?
Is there any way you can know for sure that you didn't cause that?
And that causes me to feel great caution before moving forward.
Great caution.
Until we know what we're doing.
Now, there may be a case for continuing to do these experiments now with the cooperation of Princeton.
I understand how the scientists are going to look at this.
I'll say it again.
I don't need any further proof.
I don't.
I did all those years of experiments.
And then for the reasons described, quit.
And now I've done one more.
And this time, we've got a graph.
Oh, my God, do we have a graph.
This may be enough for me.
Because I don't know what we're dealing with.
Do you?
Can you honestly say, if you were sitting in the witness chair like that, man, can you honestly say you understand the ramifications, all the possible ramifications of this?
And the answer is, it's got to be a firm no.
If you're being honest, buzz to the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hello.
I've had some experiences and things that you've been talking about.
And one thing I wanted to mention, if a Maharishi converged down Rhode Island some years ago, I don't know if you've ever heard of this, but a group of them, they decided to meditate on sweetness and life.
light it was like in the summer and the following summer the statisticians at Brown University I guess it really blew their minds because there were so many less murders saw that the climate was better a whole list of things that was all positive and I guess all I did was meditate on sweetness and light and like you know that type of thing about 30 I don't know,
a long time ago, I got reading into some Tibetan type of mysticism.
And I decided to try it, and I said, well, I want it to work.
So I want to concentrate on somebody and get them to do what I want them to do.
Well, what I did was I was in a club, and I'm being a musician, I was up on a dance stand, and he hit the front door, and the club was pretty crowded, and he had a beautiful gal with him, leaves her at the front door, walks across through all these people, comes up and raises his hand up to shake my hand.
I was looking forward to, when I got off, when I went to bed the night before after the amazing experiments, I was looking forward to getting up in the morning and listening to what Rush had to say.
You know, he put a note on his website that he, perhaps like myself, is going to be absent every now and then, and he'll be going to doctors and very special clinics and so forth.
So a good bet would be, if he wasn't on the air, that he was with a physician somewhere.
unidentified
Do you have any awareness that Rush has heard about what happened last night through any source?
I said, Richard, look, I think it is just a power and that it could be used any way at all, as you point out, for good or evil.
And I may turn out wrong about that, but I think it is like everything else in the world a power and every other power that we know of as far as I know in the world can be used either way right and I don't think this would be an exception yeah I wonder if there's any significance to the date I mean Richard is up he's up on that on dates as well any significance that for instance you had to delay because you were originally going to plan this experiment for the week before but isn't that the truth yeah so I wonder if there's a well I believe there is I'm not sure what it is yet but
And I don't know what to think about that either or what to say.
The media was...
CNN the other day and other media have been asking themselves.
Dan Router was on with Larry King and they were asking themselves if the media response has not been disproportionate, contributing to the terror that is the obvious aim of the terrorists, right?
Do you think that there is some kind of possibility that because of when this...
Right before this stuff happened on 9-1-1, that there were a lot of people that were concentrating on that because there were a lot more that had something to do with this than what is estimated?
With the 9-1-1 event, the difference in the graph is that several hours before the 9-1-1 event, the graph began to go nuts, right?
Then when the incident occurred, it went berserk.
It went through the roof, as they say.
And then for several hours afterward, it continued to fluctuate wildly.
In the case of what we did last night, the timing is precise.
If you look at the graph and you compare it to the one on Richard's site, what we did last night had no or almost no precursor to it at all.
And the reason has got to be, obviously, that before airtime last night, I didn't tell you about it.
You had no way of really knowing.
You might have been anticipating a little from what I had said the night before, but you really were not concentrating until I told you to, all of you.
And then we have the first spike in the first part of the experiment and the astounding second spike, exactly in the right place, in the right time, with the right separation, and two days'worth of graph to look at the whole thing is just absolutely mind-blowing.

Now we take you back to the night of October 19, 2001, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
And I was thinking maybe you could run it a couple of more times, but give a specific color to add on to that to see if maybe you could not only repeat the spike, but change it in a predictable pattern based on that color.
I think a lot of people have imagined this possibility for as long as I've been alive.
People have been imagining this possibility, but I'm not so sure anybody's proven it before.
unidentified
If you read the book, it will explain it all to you.
Because that is what life is.
Because we're, you can picture that the whole universe is an ocean of knowledge.
It's already there.
And we individually tap into it, into this one universe of knowledge, mind power.
And everybody's life is an expression of their beliefs, whether they realize it or not.
And they therefore create everything that happens to them in their lives based upon their beliefs, conscious or subconscious.
And the trick is to find out what that governing creative law in your subconscious is, get in there and clean it up if it's bringing the wrong things to you.
And the prayer of healing is one of the prime basic teachings in this book.
But it is our minds that do run the universe.
That's where we are.
Einstein teaches that mind and matter are one and the same and interchangeable.
And lately, though, I guess it was a couple of years ago, I finished reading the New Testament, and I was just amazed at what the words of Jesus, the teachings of Jesus, and I've always been fascinated with Star Wars and stuff.
what you're looking for maybe that's what the the the mind that you tap into it's this yeah but what produced uh the end results here was it a conduit through god as um instituted by the prayer or was it what was it just something that is you know the the ability of the human mind to project in this manner I have no idea.
unidentified
Well, I mean, you're familiar with Edgar Casey, right?
All right, well, look, you just illustrated in a more elegant manner exactly what I was asking.
Maybe it's all religions.
Maybe it's all who have faith and pray.
Those people who can, on occasion, move mountains.
Now, how would you determine that?
Well, I suppose you could have a control group who were praying through God versus a secondary group who were simply doing an intense mind concentration as we asked you to do.
Because really last night when we did the experiment, to me it didn't matter whether you were praying as through God or you were just concentrating.
I just asked you to do what you were comfortable with.
So to prove whether there was a difference, we would have to do two more experiments.
Do you see what I'm saying when I say this is going to quickly get so complicated, so very complicated.
I don't necessarily want this to go on about being proved or disproved.
I think that's irrelevant.
If this is a tool and it is, it's time to come about, I think someone with the sensitivity as yourself, it would be a good idea for you to be involved in understanding.
I don't really care about whether it's proof or not.
If it's something that's out there, then we need to understand it.
Because just like you've come from the good side, I'm almost willing to bet at the same time somebody from the bad side is doing the same thing simultaneously.
But you have, you're pointing out exactly what I'm talking about.
Now, I wouldn't begin to say we caused an earthquake in Indonesia, but I wouldn't begin to absolutely say we didn't either.
Now, I hope those of you who think we should just immediately push forward are considering some of the things you're hearing right now, and you understand a little bit, perhaps, the cautions that I felt years ago when I finished with these experiments.
Well, the last time I was on hold, the foul-mouthed, sweet-bitten mongrel that speaked to me was putting me on hold and treating me like I was a second-rate nobody.
For those tuning in late, the Princeton graph that I got just a couple of minutes before airtime tonight, I couldn't get up as I normally would under What's New because Keith is actually himself in Las Vegas enjoying himself, taking some much-needed time off.
And since Keith is not there, now when he gets back, he'll have it in his email from me, and I've instructed him to get it up under What's New.
And so I suppose as he comes in, if he checks his email, he's going to do that.
If he checks his cell phone, he'll check that as well.
In the meantime, in my desperation to get this Princeton graph up for you to see of the Grand Experiment last night, I went to my own webcam.
Fortunately, I have that.
And I took a picture of my own email through Richard from Princeton and put it up on my webcam.
So that's how you get to see it.
If you want to see it, understand all the excitement.
That's how you do it.
Go to artbell.com, click on program, and then Art Bell Studio Cam.
And you'll see I've taken a picture of the graph, and it's quite visible.
It's quite serviceable.
It's going to be clearer, of course, when Keith gets it up.
But in the meantime, in an emergency, I got it up this way, and you'll see the times across the bottom.
You'll see the magnitude across the left-hand side of the scale.
And you will see it looking through September 18th through September 19th.
You know, an old Indian man taught me a long time ago, and it was the Indian way, and he said a long time ago that the Indians had always knew that you were born with the spirit.
And you named your spirit also when you were born.
And spirit is called the father who lives in the unconscious.
Mother lives in the subconscious, and she stays in the body.
We're the child, but this only lives in the consciousness.
But spirit, like when you did the experiment, spirit can, everybody has their own spirit.
This is just a theory, okay?
But everybody has their own spirit, and when you direct it, everyone's spirit actually goes there to do it.
Well, you know, I'll tell you, you're right about theories.
Everybody has a theory, and that's the Native American.
But you know what?
The Christian way of thinking about it, the Buddhist way of thinking about it, and even the Muslim way of thinking about it, all of them, I think, are working on the same basic principle.
unidentified
Hey, how about is remote viewing kind of the same way, too?
Okay, remote viewing, to answer your question, remote viewing, I believe, remember, I'm just shooting in the dark here from the hip, and I'm going on what remote viewers have told me.
But here's what I think.
I think remote viewing taps into the same arena.
It's a different use of that arena.
But I think it's loosely connected in some way to that arena.
Remote viewers may be able to look through that arena or utilize the information connected in this non-locality, they call it, or mass consciousness, whatever you want to call it.
These are just words for something that we truly, truly, truly do not understand.
Even remote viewers are hard-pressed.
When you press them up against the wall and you ask them how it happens, they're not altogether sure either.
They have words they use to, you know, non-locality, whatever.
So we don't really know what this is all about.
We just know it is.
Yeah, a very, very good copy of the graph.
Thank you, Keith, done remotely is up on the website right now under What's New.
First item under What's New, you might want to print it out on your own printer and put it up on the wall.
Well, Richard, my guest last night, Richard Hoagland, was suggesting that activity of this kind might be more effective when it's done in a specific numeric window.
Yes.
unidentified
Okay, and I was wondering, I did get a chance to see the graph, and I was wondering that if we had hit one of these windows, you know, as impressive as this looks now, what it would look like.
About 30 years ago, I had an out-of-body experience.
And during that experience, I was counseled by, I don't know whether they were angels or beings of light, but they taught me of the power.
And they taught me that sometime in my future, there'd be a time that I needed to come together with my brothers and sisters to use that power to sit there and bring some future event.
But I learned over the period of time that if you get a band of people together and you want to cause something good, say like bin Laden over there, if you sat down and you thought positive thoughts for him to change his mind about the way he thinks.
Well, I am told by Dr. Begich that harp, for example, could be used to confuse the population, to confuse mass populations, even to confuse armies in the field who are, say, ready to attack you.
You could hit them with harp, it is conjectured, and they'd start standing up and walking around in circles, you know?
And when you were talking about not using this prayer circle that we did the other night when we changed the thing at Princeton, I understand this, but when you say you don't want to use it for evil, the Wiccans, you know, also have laws that say do what thy wilt, but harm none.
Well, but evil, to some degree, might be subjective.
What do I mean by that?
Let's have an example.
I might like to say that I would like to kill bin Laden, you know, find a little blood vessel in his head or a big one and burst it and have him fall over dead.
That might be something that I, for example, might not consider evil, but in the greater scheme of things, maybe that is evil.
unidentified
Yeah?
Well, if you wish death on him, that would be a life on your hands, regardless of if he is evil and done all this other thing.
What some people would consider good, in other words, in my mind, what he did in New York is pure evil.
And so retribution for that, vengeance for that, whatever word you want to apply to it, would be, in my mind, a good thing, but it's totally subjective, and there'd be a million other people out there who would think that would be evil.
And maybe as a use of the collective, that would be evil.
I had something that I kind of wanted to get your advice on, and I had a comment about the chart.
Sure.
This is the first time I've said this out loud, but I've always known for a long time that I am empathic.
And ever since the September 11th, I've had a whole lot of trouble dealing with the energy that I get from people, and I'm losing a lot of sleep.
And I was wondering, since you, And I appreciate, as a matter of fact, by the way, your willingness to delve into the extraordinary.
But I was hoping that maybe you might have come across someone who, or maybe some type of reading material or something that might kind of help me to deal with what I'm kind of going through right now.
You know, I'm not one to give you advice in this area.
I think that a lot of us since that time have been losing sleep and have been kind of empaths as well.
Perhaps you are to a greater extent.
Trust me, sir, when I tell you, I'm no expert in this area, far from it.
So I would not endeavor to give you advice.
Right.
unidentified
Well, being here in the South, as it were, it's kind of, you know, like I said, this is the first time I've even ever said this out loud.
I mean, I've always, it's come in handy in things like going to clubs and things like that and meeting women and all that.
But it's always been self-serving, and now it's to a point to where I just, you know, I just want it to stop, you know, or at least, you know, settle down some.
No, I mean, but I can sit in a club and suddenly I'm aware that someone's looking at me and I just scan around the club and if I see that someone's looking at me, I make that initial contact.
And, you know, I can always tell just by looking at someone, by making that eye contact, I can tell whether they're sad inside or they're happy for some reason or they're celebrating.
And I know how to initiate the conversation.
And that's the only extent to which I use that.
Maybe.
My question, or my little question comment regarding the chart was, we've always known that we can read brain waves, and I forget the name of the device that they can hook up to your brain to see your brain wave patterns.
We've always known that that was measurable through that device.
Now, even doctors recently have come around to saying that in extreme, well, I say extreme cases, in any case of poor health, that prayer and or meditation really aids in the healing process.
And they don't really know why, but they know, they're willing to acknowledge now that at least it has, it plays some part in the healing process.
And I'm thinking that this random number generator maybe could be sort of like a mass electroencephalogram.
Okay, it's kind of like when they hook something up your fingers and you feel a certain way and the tone will go up or you will cause a change to occur.
And you practice that change.
You practice causing the tone to go up or the meter to go up or whatever.
You practice that.
And I think that maybe, and I'm only guessing, but that this chart from Princeton could be used in exactly the same way.
We could collectively train ourselves, hone our ability to collectively use this and even increase the effect.
How's that for something to think about?
unidentified
I don't know if I totally agree.
I mean, I kind of think that maybe it just monitors the fact that everybody is thinking about something at one time.

Here's stories on the radio.
Must be Coast to Coast AM with George Norrie.
What do you think about disclosure?
I have said all along it's not coming from official sources.
It'll come from whistleblowers.
I can't figure it out, can you?
They know they're sitting on something and they know they can't keep it hidden forever.
The so-called disclosure is happening almost daily.
It's like the thing is accelerating.
I think disclosure is sort of happening all around to the point where, you know, everybody kind of goes, okay, we know they're here.
What's for dinner, honey?
You're listening to Artwell Somewhere in Time on Premier Radio Networks.
Tonight's an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from October 19th, 2001.
On behalf of everybody who drives those little cars, thank you.
unidentified
I thought I'd mention that from the moment that you specified to concentrate on the parts of the inner ear, the moment I started thinking at that, I got this very peculiar chill that crossed my entire body.
I mean, it actually forced me to pull over the side of the road.
All right, anyway, Richard, before the program, just before the program, told me he had all kinds of e-mail from people who had effects just exactly like you wanted to.
Like the effect that you're talking about.
So you're not alone.
I wasn't going to bring it up because it's kind of anecdotal at this point.
But you felt it too, huh?
Well, now he's gone.
Damn cell phones.
Anyway, that's all right, what you wanted to say got through, sir.
And there's a little bit of confirmation for you that you were by far not the only one.
I mean, if you're on our side, you could say that, right?
We ended the war in Japan by killing an awful lot of people with it.
And from our nationalistic point of view and our moral point of view, yes, it was a good thing.
unidentified
Now, if we have, if it's good versus evil, and there are more people for good than evil, and I know that this is an unanswered question, wouldn't the good win out in the, for lack of a better term on my part, sorry, mind gain?
And the odds of mankind being able to keep anything like that safe for hundreds of thousands of years, I would say, are often the realm of slim unnung.
unidentified
Well, those storage areas, wherever they might be, would and could, and if I were on the other side, on the evil side, get my point?
And if all the scriptures of all the major religions, Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, they all refer to the exact thing that you're participating in.
And it's the use of conscious benefit of the universe for the goodness of the universe.
And whatever power or whatever, however you want to define it or name it or anything, when you put your will with the will of the universe to benefit it and the things in it, good is going to come of it.
I don't know if the power that a witch would wield with black magic would be comparable in any way to this.
But I have heard that it is possible to place on somebody a curse, for example.
And that would be absolutely, from that person's point of view, the curse E, it would be a negative thing, a very, very negative thing.
And yet I am told that it does work.
unidentified
Well, I think that generology there is God hates witchcraft, if I may quote that out of the Bible.
And what they're doing is they believe that what they're doing, even though it's out of the darkness or the black power or the negative or whatever you want to call it, is to benefit their client by putting an end to whatever is disturbing or coming against them.
So in the realm of reality is we're all born with a higher consciousness to recognize what is beneficial for our own well-being.
And when we participate in that, then good things come about it.
I think what you're concerned about and what I'm concerned about also is the mechanics of it.
And I think if we just get into putting the positive energy into the universe and let the universe work out the details for it, like Russ's ears.
I mean, I was asking earlier, could we imagine the spike was that the spikes, dual spikes, were actually produced by those folks who were praying to God, which I certainly allowed should go on at the same time.
Or was the spike produced by the people who were simply concentrating?
Or was the spike produced by one or two unusually powerful, gifted people out there?
I think the answer is in the masses, because you go back to the graphs of what happened on September 11th and other mass things that have occurred, and I think that's adding up to prove that it's a mass effect of some kind versus a singular person.
unidentified
Well, that would be something, wouldn't it, to have that power?
We don't have the answers to these questions, and I'm sure that any pure scientific inquiry would go after the answers to these very specific questions would require incredible amounts of repeatability.
Well, no, I mean, I there may be, sir, there may be a prime directive that does govern its use, and we may simply have been living within that for all I know.
This is all conjecture.
unidentified
Yeah, I know, and I know what you, you know, the experiment that you did and the one you did a couple years ago with the weather was a very powerful thing.
But prior to Catholicism, there was a religion called the Mithras.
The Mithrans.
I don't know if you ever heard of the Mithra.
No.
But they believed in a God of chaos and a God of order that had equal power.
This was taught to me by a healer, and he can actually see the network of ether and energy traveling through the ether, and that's how he heals people, by changing the energy flow.
And if that many people actually focus on something at the same time, then...
The hand gets warm, they're empaths to some degree, and they do, I am told, they do heal.
And I suppose there's some packery out there as well involved in this, but the fact is they do heal.
Now, when you multiply it by millions of minds, you're doing something really, really powerful.
unidentified
Very powerful.
And I think that the reason that it peaked prior to 911 was that there were so many of Bin Laden's people who were focusing on what was going to happen.
Either that or the subconscious of many, many people understood at some level that something big was just about to happen.
unidentified
That's right, because there is, that network goes, you know, all through the universe, and so the energy that you and I might send out goes to people in China at some level.
We're at the bottom of the hour and listen to the words.
I'm Arpell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified
You're listening to Arpell Somewhere in Time on Premiere Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from October 19, 2001.
Music Nothing, nothing, it's the night, man, man, in the night, no control, through the wall, from the breaking, wearing white, and you're walking down the street,
of that soul, we make ourselves control because you live in only four.
The End We just play skylight on baby.
I should be more fine.
I feel down at all.
All I got to do is love you.
All I got to be away.
All I got to do is all I got to be away from.
The sky cleared up, the itch turns by, the love is more dying than head to the fly.
All dreamin'for the state I believe, the sky keeps you hanging with me.
All I have to do is to come to the river.
All I got to be.
You're listening to Arc Bell Somewhere Inside, tonight featuring a replay of Coast to Coast AM from October 19th, 2001.
You know, maybe just love to drive the graph right off the top.
A lot of people, you know, say it's all about love.
Well, that's the best I can do for you in a quick and dirty.
And frankly, I really can't go all that far beyond quick and dirty because I only understand so much of it myself.
I think I'm not alone.
Now, there will be many people, experts who I've had in the past on the program over the past decade and better who will have some pretty strong ideas about what's happened here, I'm sure.
You're going to hear a lot of talk about this.
Believe me, a whole lot of talk about this.
And I'll let them go ahead and dissect what has happened here.
We got some pictures with Crystal, and they're on the website tonight.
unidentified
Oh, I'll check that out.
Okay.
When you started talking, I was anxiously waiting because I just had this feeling that you said that it would probably be about 48 hours before Princeton could get back to us.
And it's understandable that you're afraid of what people will do with something powerful, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't attempt to learn anyway.
You know what I mean?
And if you're only doing, well, if you only, if they ask you to do this again, and all you're doing is trying to affect their graph, their meters, whatever.
At least you wouldn't be directing it toward anything like changing the weather or blowing up Osama bin Laden's head while he's sitting there eating the moon rice.
If that's all you're doing is just trying to affect that, then you're not trying to harm anything, and nobody can really convolute that into something harmful.
Well, yeah, that's what got me on this train of thought that if maybe we got Russia's hearing back, that maybe there was a negative that happened because of this.
And I can understand where you're coming from about possibly being afraid.
Yes, but I've got to tell you, I've really got to tell you, I've talked to other remote viewers, and when you start talking to them about this subject, some will deny that that can be done, but others invite you to listen between the lines while they don't deny it.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, the Creator, the Creator of all created all, correct?
I mean, if you were going to proceed with this, you could try a purely religious effect, and then you could also try a purely non-religious concentration.
unidentified
Exactly.
Well, I'm saying maybe they should go to the Vatican or something where the Pope is having one of these mass prayers that he always has and monitor it there or something, you know.
I was just thinking that, you know, maybe they could do that to find out what it really is.
Or maybe when the Pope has a mass prayer of some kind, Princeton could correlate that on a graph, and we could find out if it has the same effect.
Or we could do that experiment here if we decide to proceed with these experiments.
unidentified
Yeah, see, and I think that'd be like a great idea to try, you know.
You know, I'm a long-time listener, you know, first-time caller, but I think this subject just really, because I participated last night, and I mean, this subject is just mind-boggling.
Remember when you look at it that at the bottom you're looking at times, and you'll find that it covers a two-day period in total, September 18th through the 19th.
And when you get to about 10 o'clock in the 10 o'clock hour, 10 through 11, which is exactly when we did these experiments, boo-woosh!
I mean, boo-woosh, it just goes off the chart almost.
And during the day yesterday, if you didn't hear it earlier, Crystal Gale came to visit, came to lunch.
Guess who came to lunch?
Crystal Gale.
And when she came, she brought a record which is so obviously about this program.
Listen carefully to the words because I'm going to close with this.
From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.
Now listen carefully.
unidentified
hot hot At night in the desert, shooting stars across the sky.
This magical journey will take us on a ride Filled with belonging, searching for the truth Will we make it till tomorrow with the sun to shine on you tonight in the desert and
