If you've ever been in a situation where several people were experiencing the same emotions together – such as at a sporting event, a religious service, or even when a large-scale tragedy sparks feelings of sadness or fear – you may have felt a heightened sense of connection with those around you. The concepts of consciousness and global consciousness can help explain this connectivity while offering hope for the beautiful world that we have the potential to create.

As the Director of the Global Consciousness Project (GCP), which he established in 1997 at Princeton University, Dr. Roger Nelson has decades of experience researching mental interactions, anomalous information transfer, and effects on random systems by individuals and groups. He is also the author and coauthor of over 100 technical papers and three books, including "Connected: The Emergence of Global Consciousness," and has built a world-spanning random number generator network designed to gather evidence of a coalescing global consciousness. In Episode 133 of The MINDSet Game® podcast, Dr. Nelson discusses the following:

The meaning of consciousness and global consciousness, as well as an overview of the research conducted by the GCP
How the random number generator works, including the fascinating results that occur around events that trigger widespread emotional reactions
How to become more conscious in order to radiate a higher frequency vibration out into the field
