New Research Confirms: Selfica and the Temples of Humankind Generate Measurable Effects

An Extraordinary Exploration of the Wyrdoscope at Damanhur
On April 22–23, 2025, Damanhur hosted a pioneering research project led by Peter Merry, Ph.D., using the Wyrdoscope, a measurement tool designed to detect statistical correlations between collective consciousness events and quantum phenomena. Peter Merry, an expert in evolutionary leadership, social innovation, and consciousness research, is co-founder of Ubiquity University, CEO of Wyrd Technologies Ltd and author of several books on systemic change and consciousness science.
Data collection took place during two significant events at Damanhur:
- An Astral Travel Course, culminating in a special activation in the Temples of Humankind, where participants, guided by Esperide Ananas, engaged in techniques to expand consciousness and experience out-of-body travel.
- The seminar “AWAKENING ESSENTIALS 1 – Turn on the Senses of Your Soul”, a path dedicated to reawakening the “inner senses” or “senses of the soul.” The method has been perfected over 25 years of research at Damanhur, this course guides participants in reactivating subtle energetic organs connected to the chakras and kundalini, through meditation practices, movement, and, importantly, activations within the Temples.

Results at Damanhur:
The Active Role of Selfica
and the Temples of Humankind
The preliminary experience took place in the spiral of Damanhur’s capital, Damjl. During the walk through the Spiral and the energetic connection with a standing stone (menhir), the Wyrdoscope recorded a significant peak (1:82), indicating a clear influence on the subtle energetic field.
Damanhurian Spirals are energetic pathways constructed according to sacred geometries and activated through specific rituals, supporting the harmonization of the vital field and connection with nature’s forces. Spirals have been activated by Damanhur in many parts of the world. You can learn more about the project here.
An extraordinary peak occurred during individual interaction with a Spheroself, one of the most sophisticated Selfic devices, reaching a correlation probability of 1:18,000. This statistically remarkable result highlights how Selfica—an ancient art-science rediscovered and developed at Damanhur—can generate a coherent and measurable energetic field.
During the astral travel activation in the Temples, another exceptional result was recorded: the moment of Peter Merry’s personal connection with an image of Falco Tarassaco corresponded to a peak of 1:140,000. It is important to note that this was a personal experience of Peter, occurring during the course but outside of the standard dynamics foreseen in the group activation.
Significant peaks were also observed while Frankko was playing music in the Hall of Metals and during meditations in the Hall of Water and the Hall of Spheres

Reactivating the Soul’s Senses

Conclusion: A Future for Research
As Peter Merry points out, although this exploration was not a formal scientific experiment, the results strongly suggest that Selfica and the Temples of Humankind generate real and measurable effects on the subtle and quantum fields.
This research paves the way for broader studies, which could provide new scientific evidence of the spiritual potential of Damanhur’s practices.
“Consciousness creates effects in the physical world: at Damanhur, this is now even more evident.”
