Three Stanford graduate students in the postdoctoral engineering program joined Tiller to make up the first imprinting team. The members of the team weren’t newbies, nor were they old hands yet. If they had any small advantage, it was that they all h...

Later, I asked about the euphoria during the imprinting. Tiller said: “Our experimental results have a lot to do with subjective variables like emotions and meaning, which is another way to say love.

“extraneous healing intention” is also minimized. For example, we can be pretty sure that nobody’s grandmother—let alone her church group, is praying for cells in an experiment, as the case might be with hospitalized human subjects.158

To compare the effects of intention, a control unimprinted electronic device (UED) is necessary. Identical experiments are set up. In one, the IHD (factor being tested) is applied to a target (such as water) and in another, the UED serves as the control.

Chemists will tell you it takes some energy—that is, ΔG (Gibbs free energy)—for the ion exchange necessary to move water to a higher or lower pH. When water has an injection of ΔG, the molecules speed up, and more molecules are bumping into each other and exchanging ions. The probability of pH change is raised. But there was no traditional energy or chemical input into the experimental system.

Can intention help one of many vexing medical problems that plague humans? Can intention research be bridged, or translated, from the lab to real-world medicine?

With each experiment replicated hundreds of times, the human instruction came into manifestation via the IHD. The UEDs do not demonstrate that capability. A device requires human subtle energy and human intelligence (or information) to be activated.174

There is no imminent technological magic bullet that is truly revolutionary. Bill Buxton, a father of the touch screen and a principal researcher at Microsoft, says: “The people who have the tech skills may not have the cultural and social skills. It’s only when you get all those skills together that you get the perfect storm for the next breakthrough.”177

Even more remarkable, Fourier analysis of the oscillations of water pH and water temperature also revealed nesting harmonics, even though the wave shapes of the two different properties were dissimilar.

The oscillations were in a nondispersive medium. In Tiller’s deduction, nondispersive means the physical vacuum or empty space.
