Studies of Qi-Information System using Bi-Digital O-Ring Test : (1)Effect of Consciousness on Qi-Information System

Abstract

Using the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test(ORT)developed by Omura as an experimental model of the Qi-Information System, we investigated the effect of consciousness on the Qi-Information System. The ORT was carried out on three young women who touched paper containers holding one of three substances(tetrodotoxin, cigarettes, healthy food). The ORT was conducted for each substance using three tests : a double-blind test, a single-blind test and an open test. In the case of tetrodotoxin(a lethal poison)only, the ORT results were the same for each of the three tests. For the other two substances, dissociation was observed between the results of the double-blind test and the results for the other two tests. The results suggest the importance of consciousness in the Qi-Information System, and the usefulness of the ORT as an experimental model of the Qi-Information System.
