This experiment needs:
| 1. |
A spiritual text (Holy
Scripture or text written/compiled by a Saint) and an ordinary
text of (approximately) the same size/dimensions. |
| 2. |
Two identical, thick,
non-transparent envelopes that can hold the texts. |
Put the holy text in one envelope and the
ordinary text in the other. Close the envelopes, place them on a
desk and shuffle them around, so as to loose any information about
which envelope contains which text. Now look at each envelope for
two minutes while chanting*. Note your observation in each case.
* Repeating The Lord's Name as per one's religion.
