measured with respect to our variables corresponds to what generally appears in the literature.
Furthermore, we were surprised to note that our evaluator was able to distinguish between those
patients who had been treated and those who had not as soon as she touched them. In assessing our
data according to the perceptions of the evaluator, we obtained statistically significant deviations for
our three variables.
These outcomes confirm our hypothesis and demonstrate the actual, measurable impact of the
intention that an individual brings to bear upon another. Thus, using our thoughts, we can bring about
observable changes in the physiology of another person.
In this case, our experiments applied to a cranial articulation. Nevertheless, the corpus of data that we
gathered entitles us to believe that this phenomenon can be transposed to the whole of the human
being. The literature demonstrates that our intent can also impact globally on the world around us. All
of this information gives us the latitude to believe that it is the boundaries of our mind, which - to a
certain extent – establish the boundaries of our field of action.
