14th Annual Session of the Global Energy Parliament

December 14-15, 2024

The 14th annual session of the Global Energy Parliament (GEP), organized by the Isa Viswa Prajnana Trust, was held online on December 14–15, 2024, with participants from across the world joining to explore the theme: “The Science of Thought: Using Thought for a More Humane World.”

The 2024 session of Parliament offered a deep dive into the nature and power of human thought—what it is, where it originates, and how it shapes our world. In a time of increasing digital influence and global uncertainty, the Parliament called for a return to understanding thought as the primary catalyst for humane transformation.

The event was inaugurated by His Excellency Dr. C.V. Ananda Bose, Governor of West Bengal. In his address, he praised the Parliament’s efforts to explore foundational questions in science, consciousness, and humanity.

Ramesh Chennithala, Former Home Minister of Kerala, gave the Presidential Address, and a Special Address was delivered by veteran journalist K.P. Mohanan.

GEP Founder Jagadguru Swami Isa emphasized the urgent need to understand the role of thought in shaping our reality in his Founder’s Address. He described the I-particle as the universe’s building block—a“basic thought” from which all thoughts arise. Thought, he explained, has three qualities: Red Matter (creative energy, data); Black Matter (chemistry, emotion); White Matter (ego, identity). Together they form thought programmes that operate at every level of our being—from the quantum to the biological. Understanding these programmes is key to shaping a more humane world.

The Speaker Dr. Kiran Vyas chaired the parliamentary session in which ministers and members participated from around the globe, deliberating on how governments, institutions, and individuals can use thought consciously to bring about a more peaceful, balanced, and sustainable world.

The questions raised by the Members of Parliament to the Ministers across portfolios, centred on the ethical and scientific implications of thought in governance and public policy.

Minister for Peace and Global Affairs, Karin Tag delivered a Call-Attention Motion urging for the world to unite, embrace our humanity and be living testaments to peace. 

Expert Hearings

The GEP conducted an expert hearing to give insight into the latest development of research in thought. The first expert panel, moderated by Dr. Folker Meissner, explored the nature, origin, and implications of thought from scientific, medical, and philosophical perspectives.

• Dr. Bindu Kutty, neuroscientist, presented thought as the result of complex brain network interactions. She highlighted how self-referential and disruptive thoughts are linked to fear and anxiety, while meditation enhances brain function, bringing clarity, stability, and ease of effort.
• Dr. Christophe Dumas, physicist and I-Theory researcher, explained that thought is an electromagnetic wave, present at all levels of existence. He identified the I-particle as the quantum of vibration that constitutes thought itself, emphasising the distinct nature of human vs. artificial thought, and the risks of their current conflation.
• Dr. Kimberly Davis, integrative physician, highlighted the creative force of thought, noting how intentional alignment of thought and emotion creates energetic coherence, a powerful stillness that supports healing and balance.
• Dr. Anoop Kumar, physician and philosopher, examined thought from the perspective of identity and consciousness. He proposed that if we identify with the physical self, thought appears as brain activity; but from the standpoint of infinite awareness, thought becomes a quantized expression of consciousness—or ceases to exist altogether.

The second expert panel focused on how thought influences matter, healing, and collective experience—revealing the tangible, measurable effects of human intention.

• Dr. Roger Nelson, founder of the Global Consciousness Project at Princeton, shared decades of data showing how random number generators respond to collective human experience, suggesting a measurable field of mass consciousness. He proposed that we may be evolving toward a "global mind," where cooperative thought has real-world consequences. His Holiness Swami Isa offered a distinction between awareness, which involves thought and energy, and Consciousness, which is absolute stillness, bliss, and perfection—beyond vibration or activity.
• Dr. Amit Goswami, quantum physicist and author, discussed non-local communication in quantum physics—how connections can occur without signals. He emphasised the need to shift from rational to intuitive consciousness in order to develop a new collective unconscious.
• Dr. Christian Schubert, expert in psychoneuroimmunology, addressed the mind-body-soul connection, criticising the outdated dualism in modern science. His research demonstrates how thought and alternative healing practices influence the inflammatory response, showing mind's impact on physical health.

Together, the speakers demonstrated that thought has immediate, observable effects on the self and the environment—and that cultivating higher-quality, positive thought through practices like meditation and life-energy (pranic) awareness is key to shaping a better world.

The parliament called for more attention to maintaining the natural balance in human life and human thought, and to stop the trends of distortion. In alignment with this, bills and resolutions were passed from several portfolios including peace and global affairs, environment, agriculture, science and technology, women’s affairs, and education.  

In recognition of the importance of thought in decision-making, policy creation and governance, Jagadguru Swami Isa proposed in his Concluding Address that governments around the world implement a new Ministry of Thought that would be tasked with scientifically assessing the quality of the thoughts behind proposed bills and policies, as well as their projected outcomes based on the unifying theory of energy (I-Theory), before passing them as resolutions. Thus, it would act much like a finely tuned human intellect, but in the objective plane. The proposal was applauded and passed by the House.

The Valedictory Address was delivered by Hon. Karu Jayasuriya, former Speaker of the Sri Lankan Parliament, who praised the GEP’s unique and essential mission and shared his insights into how thought is connected to the democratic process of a nation.

Conclusion

The 14th Global Energy Parliament offered a rare and timely exploration into the nature of thought and its role in building a more humane world. Acknowledging that true peace, happiness and health can only come about through thought, Members of Parliament offered a variety of recommendations for applying the science of thought in policy, education, health and peacebuilding in their impactful submissions. By uniting science, philosophy, and public policy, the session opened new possibilities for how we live and govern. The proposal for a Ministry of Thought reflects a growing understanding that lasting peace and well-being begin with thought—and that with the right awareness, real change is within reach.
