How Do You Shift Reality?
April 2000 Survey Results

The First Ever Reality Shifting Survey Results Are In!



An online survey was conducted over a two month period, with self-selected participants answering a list of twenty questions either at the Zoomerang web site, or by emailing their answers in. A total of 395 people participated in this survey, far surpassing the original goal of 200 participants.

People were encouraged to complete this survey regardless of whether they believe in the phenomenon of reality shifts, or had ever even experienced reality shifts in their lives.

I was most impressed to see that 95% of all survey respondents notice synchronicity and coincidence in their daily life; 86% have noticed time seem to slow down, stop, or speed up; and 78% often find parking spaces when and where they need them most. Only 8% of the respondents have ever bent spoons or other metal without forcing the objects to bend, and 6% of the respondents haven't ever witnessed reality shifts. Of those who do notice reality shifts, the most common emotional reaction to witnessing the shifts are feelings of curiosity (62%) and excitement (45%), followed by feeling awestruck (37%), happy (33%), and confused (26%). A majority of the respondents feel that noticing reality shifts has changed their attitudes (59%), 55% feel that observing reality shifts has changed their beliefs, and 45% feel that both their attitudes and beliefs have changed as a result of witnessing reality shifts.

Five $10 Amazon.com gift certificates will be awarded to randomly selected survey participants by the end of April 2000.
