n a 1993 study reported in the Journal Advances, the Army performed experiments to determine precisely whether the emotion/DNA connection continues following a separation, and if so at what distances?13 The researchers started by collecting a swab of tissue and DN from the inside of he volunteer’s mouth. This sample was isolated and taken to another room in the same building, where they began to investigate a phenomenon that modern science says shouldn’t exist. In a specially designed chamber, the DNA was measured electrically to see if it responded to the emotions of the person it came from, the donor who was in another room several hundred feet away.
In his room, the subject was shown a series of video images. Designed to create genuine states of emotion inside of his body, this material ranged from graphic wartime footage to erotic images to comedy. The idea was for the donor to experience a spectrum of real emotions within a brief period of time. While he was doing so, in another room his DNA was measured for its response.
When the donor experienced emotional “peaks” and “dips”, his cells and DNA showed a powerful electrical response at the same instant in time. Although distances measured in hundreds of feet separated the donor and the samples, the DNA acted as if it was still physically connected to his body. The question is “Why?”
There’s a footnote to this experiment that I’ll share here. I was on a book tour in Australia during the September 11 attacks on the American Pentagon and World Trade Center. When I arrived back to Los Angeles, it was immediately clear that I’d come home to a country that was different from the one I’d left only ten days before. No one was travelling-the airports and their parking lots were empty. The world had changed tremendously.
I was scheduled to speak at a conference there in L.A. shortly after returning, and even though it appeared that very few people would show up, the hosts made the decision to go forward with the program. When the presentations began, the producers’ fears were realized: Only a handful of attendees had shown up. As the scientists and authors began their talks, it was almost as if we were presenting to one another.
I’d just finished offering my program on the interconnected nature of all things, complete with the Army experiment I just described. At dinner that evening, another presenter came up to me, thanked me for my program, and informed me that he had been part of the study that I’d spoken of. To be accurate the man, Dr. Cleve Backster, had designed [author’s italics] the experiment for the Army as part of an ongoing project. His pioneering work on the way that human intention affects plants had led to the military experiments. What Dr. Backster offered next is the reason why I’m sharing the story here.
The Army stopped their experiments with the donor and his DNA when they were still in the same building, separated by distances of only hundreds of feet. Following those initial studies however, Dr. Backster described how he and his team had continued the investigations at even greater distances. At one point, a span of 350 miles separated the donor and his cells.
Furthermore, the time between the donor’s experience and the cell’s response as gauged by an atomic clock located in Colorado. In each experiment, the interval measured between the emotion and the cell’s response was zero-the effect was simultaneous .[author’s italics] Whether the cells were in the same room or separated by hundreds of miles, the results were the same. When the donor had an emotional experience, the DNA reacted as if it were still connected to the donor’s body in some way.
While this may sound a little spooky to us at first, consider this. If there’s a quantum field that links all matter, then everything must be-and remain-connected. As Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, a colleague of Cleve Backster, states so eloquently, from this viewpoint: “There is no place where one’s body actually ends and no pace where it begins.”14
Greg Braden mentions this experiment for several reasons:
1. A previously unrecognized form of energy exists between living tissues.
2. Cells and DNA communicate through this field of energy.
3. Human emotion has a direct influence on living DNA.
4. Distance appears to be of no consequence with regard to the effect.
