The only two significant local readings on the FieldREG were at
Avebury. The first time we visited, after lunch on the 21st, I went to
the area Joachim and Hans were preparing for the
meditation on the 22nd. I was there for about an hour
and the data collected during that time was significantly
deviant. During the meditation on the 22nd, there was a long
flat
period, and just as with the GCP readings, the last part of
the hour (about 20 minutes) had a steep slope of deviation,
reaching significance at about midnight.
None of the periods while we were in the crop circles showed
significant deviations (though I mistakenly thought so at
one time -- I had confused it with the time we were at
Avebury in the afternoon). Neither the Long Barrow nor
Stonehenge showed a persistent (and thereby significant)
departure from expectation while we were visiting. The
Stonehenge data seemed to have several periods of strong
trends, but was not consistent over the hour and a half.
In all these cases, I think the appropriate interpretation
should be in
terms of group consciousness. In Avebury, especially on the
22nd, there was
a clear and intended gathering and linkage of the group. At
Stonehenge I
thought there might have been a shared consciousness, but we
were all
looking for our own personal contact with the stones, and
connecting with
them rather than the group. And there was (for me and
perhaps others) the
distraction of the balloonists' frequent whooshing.
Finally, the data are always subject to the low signal to
noise ratio I have mentioned before. This means that real
signals may sometimes be buried in noise, and also that the
noise may occasionally masquerade as signal. Repetition is
golden, but with only one or two samples it is difficult to
make confident interpretations. I would say, however, that
the general picture of Avebury and Stonehenge given in the
local and the GCP data is of a resonant bonding of the
people and the ancient sacred sites.
The following graph, of data from Egg 2006, the closest one
in our network to Stonehenge, shows two really strong slopes
that in effect cancel each other. But the strength and
consistency of the
trends are unusual, and are in themselves typical of the
correlated departures from expectation we find in the
FieldREG and EGG data.
