How Does Spindrift Use The Experimental Test?

Using hundreds of thousands of beans, seeds, yeast cells, mold, etc., and dividing them into control groups (non prayed-for groups) and treated groups (prayed-for groups), Spindrift has subjected the above to stress and measured and compared the responses--the return to normal--of the organisms.

      Examples of Experiments

The methodology and analysis of the above and other experiments can be found in
The Spindrift Papers, 1993, 396 pages.  For book inquiries contact us here.

Unfinished tests:  The Klingbeils did some tests of thought on bacteria.  They also designed a test
of a DNA molecule to see if prayer could affect it.  John did some biofeedback tests to see how different states of thought could affect a healing outcome.  Remote viewing was tested on unseen seeds in containers at a distance.  Like several other experiments, remote viewing held promise,
but was a division of too much time from doing thorough and repeated experiments of prayer on other organisms.  (Remote viewing may become the choice area of consciousness research as it requires less repetitions of a test and has produced some startling findings.  It's interesting that another name for healing at a distance is remote healing.)

Corroboration to Do Research

Ted Koppel in his remarks on the United States Government's research of psychic phenomena
gives some perspective on how potentially a human consciousness can be studied by measuring the effects of prayer on healing.

"...imagine how someone a hundred years ago would have reacted to a description of many of the things we take for granted today.  Think of telling someone in the 1890's about a flying cylinder that would routinely transport several hundred people at a time...from coast to coast. Explain the storage of a small library's worth of information on a silicone chip smaller than your fingernail.

We live in an age of once-unimaginable miracles, so it would take equal measures of courage and hubris to dismiss as impossible the notion that some people may have certain psychic powers.  This may reassure you, it may alarm you, but in fact, for some years now, the U.S. intelligence community has wagered a modest amount of money on the possibility that such powers do exist."  *

In the Twenty-first Century a frontier of science to be experimentally investigated will be the "nonlocality actions of human consciousness."  The supporters of Spindrift hope this research of nonlocality will include the nonlocal healing effects of prayer which suggest man's and woman's spiritual potential to heal.

To those who cherish the Judaic-Christian tradition or any other spiritual tradition and the power contained therein, the experimental method offers an opportunity to test, scientifically, prayer
applied to healing.  Accumulated test results will constitute a body of knowledge, never before available, applicable to the solving of problems including disease.
