How the vision of the global transformation project formed

GTP Founders own personal experiences teaching in major health networks and seeing the stunning results (a few of which you saw in the above video) ... led to his searching out other science on Mind Body. Dr. Herbert Benson's book "The Relaxation Response" electrified the world when it announced that 60% to 90% of health issues sending people to their doctors were best prevented or treated by Mind Body practices.

Then, someone sent GTP's Founder a 20 year study by Kaiser Permenente, which discovered that 70% of health issues sending people to their doctors were CAUSED BY STRESS, not just aggravated by stress, but caused by stress.

 GTP FOUNDER'S MIND BEGAN SPINNING ... HOW MUCH MONEY AND SUFFERING COULD BE REDUCED AND ILLIMINATED?! GTP Founder, William Douglas, called Kaiser and spoke to Dr. David Sobel who was familiar with the study, who excitedly reported that the number could go as high as 85% depending on how you looked at the research.

Then Douglas discovered that Harvard Health Publications had referred to one Mind Body practice, Tai Chi, as "MEDICATION IN MOTION" for all the myriad healing benefits it offered.

The night before GTP Founder's mother died, she had a premonition of her death, and left William Douglas, who she called "Jr." a note. It read, "I wish I could go back a few years and learn the arts of relaxation you tried to teach me. I so would have loved to see my grandchildren grow up."

This ignited a fire in Douglas, as he taught in major health centers for 30 years seeing the amazing results people, people like his mother, were getting. BUT THEN SOMETHING ELSE SPURRED THIS FIRE FOR THE GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT. In his clinical Mind Body hospital classes it became more and more apparent that patients "had difficulty believing" Mind Body science. Why? Because their doctors didn't know it, and mainstream media pushed pharmaceutical solutions relentlessly. People had been indoctrinated to believe endless drugs were their only choice. Douglas realized MIND BODY MUST BEGIN IN SCHOOL. 

When William Douglas was invited to teach Meditation, Chi Kung, and Tai Chi at Folsom Maximum Security Prison in California ... he thought he was going to be introducing prisoners to Mind Body.

But, upon arriving, he discovered that they'd had a Tai Chi Chih (Meditative Tai Chi Chi Kung Style) for 2 years ... AND AN INMATE who was an assistant teacher had looked at prison statistics and discovered that the recidivism rate (return to prison rate) for the Chi Kung Meditation group was around 30%, while for the general population it was near 70%.

BUT WHAT CAUSED DOUGLAS'S MIND TO SPIN ... was that Incident Rates (Behavior Rates) for the ENTIRE PRISON HAD IMPROVED DURING THAT 2 YEARS, not just for the meditating group.

Douglas discovered a 1990's study involving universities and the Washington D.C. Police Department ... WHICH SHOWED THAT WHEN 1% OF A CITIES POPULATION INCLUDED VISITING HIGH LEVEL MEDITATORS ... THE VIOLENT CRIME RATES FOR THE CITY DROPPED BY OVER 20%.

As Douglas researched for years to create his 700 page book, "The Gospel of Science..." (2nd edition), he then found more studies validating this? In fact, a study in 48 cities bringing in 1% population meditators reduced violent crime in all 48 cities, and the benefits lasted 5 years after the study.

Douglas taught a Mind Body program for the Kansas City Court System. One of the court systems participants told Douglas after a few weeks of practicing the Mind Body program that "This is the first time since I quit heroine, that I have not been gnashing my teeth. Thank you for this."

His own teaching and the mountain of data showed that if Mind Body were part of  Public Education in the form of a one hour per day Health Science/Physical Education class, that taught Meditation, Tai Chi, Yoga, Chi Kung, Mindfulness ... our prisons would begin to empty in massive ways.

Douglas's teaching with prisons and prisoners also led to the realization OUR PRISON SYSTEM  IS A CRUEL AND BARBARIC SYSTEM THAT DOES THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT WE WANT.

When Douglas's research revealed that the United States imprisons more of its people than any nation on earth, and imprisons them in a cruel way that just makes lifelong returning damaged people rather than "rehabilitated people," Douglas had to dedicate his life to changing this insanity.

In both a Texas Penitentiary and a Kansas Penitentiary where Douglas was teaching via corresponding with inmates ... in both prisons THEY TOOK AWAY ALL BOTH PRISONERS MIND BODY BOOKS. It was like the prison was slamming itself in the head with a sledge hammer, because Mind Body makes prisoners vastly easier to deal with.

As Douglas was learning about how Mind Body in prisons was "benefiting the entire population" ... and not just the meditating inmates .... he was also organizing a 90 nation Mind Body event called "World Tai Chi & Qigong Day" or "World Tai Chi Day."

In 2020 Douglas received data from the former Princeton University Director of Research for the PEAR Labs (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab), and founder of the Global Consciousness Project, Dr. Roger Nelson, revealing that the World Tai Chi Day, Douglas had founded and organized, "had measurably increased coherence of global consciousness."

Douglas was electrified and researching for his "Gospel of Science" book, he dug deeper. And the Global Consciousness Project's data also showed that other Mind Body events had changed global consciousness (see below).

All the above resulted in the concept and the founding of THE GLOBAL TRANSFORMATION PROJECT.
