Clear-sighted Remote Viewing: The U.s.a. Sponsored Psychic Spying
M. Srinivasan * , Former Associate Director, BARC
Abstract
'Remote Viewing,' popularly known as Extra Sensory Perception (ESP) is the ability of human being to perceive information and imagery of remote geographical targets. Avant-garde practitioners of the Indian Yoga organisation were well acquainted with 'Divya Drishti.'
This newspaper deals with experiments conducted in U.s. in which sure individuals were trained to acquire such 'Remote Viewing' capabilities for collecting armed forces intelligence.
Introduction
During the Cold War years, the U.s.a. and Soviet Spousal relationship are known to have been spying on each other using the services of psychic 'remote viewers', with the specific objective of gathering intelligence information of war machine significance. In simple terms 'remote viewing' is 'the ability of human participants to acquire data about spatially (and temporally) remote geographical targets otherwise inaccessible by whatever known sensory ways'.
In that location were two complementary components to the The states Remote Viewing programme:
(a) A research program on 'Anomalous Cognition (AC)' directed initially by physicists Hal Putoff and Russell Targ at the laboratories of Stanford Enquiry International (SRI) at Menlo Park, California which was shifted in 1988 to Scientific discipline Applications International Corporation (SAIC), under the management of Edwin May. The findings of their early studies have been reported in prestigious scientific journals during the 1970s. 1-3
(b) Mission-oriented operational assignments overseen past various intelligence agencies of the US Authorities, lawmaking-named Project STARGATE.
Information regarding this meridian-hugger-mugger programme was partly declassified by the CIA in July 1995 following the thaw in the Common cold War. Since then, several inquiry articles iv and many books 5-10 have been published by some of the persons who were closely associated with this programme. These authors have however expressed regret that they had not been permitted to reveal much of the 'sensitive' details of the program. The present brief business relationship is based on the published sources of information.
Background to Remote Viewing Kinesthesia
The faculty of Remote Viewing is popularly also known equally Extra Sensory Perception (or ESP for curt), a term coined by the pioneering parapsychology researcher J.B. Rhine in 1934. Students of Indian Yogic lore are however well acquainted with information technology. Adage 3.26 of Patanjali's classic work Yoga Sutras (400 B.C.) describes the get-go of the ashta-siddhis (or psychic powers) that a serious practitioner of Yoga can acquire as 'obtaining knowledge of the minor, the subconscious or distant by directing the light of superphysical faculty'. Russell Targ, has commented that the techniques used by the United states viewers for 'looking into the distance and the future' are 'strikingly similar to the detailed instructions given in the Yoga Sutra!'
Virtually ancient civilisations appear to have been acquainted with the knowledge of this detail faculty of the human heed. In both Indian and Chinese scriptures there are instances of the clairvoyant skills of people existence used as a tool for obtaining relevant military machine information in the battle-footing.
Information technology is learnt that the United states of america Authorities authorities started paying serious attending to investigating the possible applicability of 'remote viewing' techniques for armed forces purposes only when a book titled Psychic Discoveries Behind the Iron Mantle, authored by Sheila Ostrander and Lynn Schroeder, was published in 1970 eleven . This book appears to have jolted the United states of america Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) into action, triggering what 1 journalist has dubbed as the 'Race for Inner Space'! Hal Puthoff, the founder and first Director of the SRI Studies has given a graphic business relationship of how it all began in his recollections of the programme. six
Laboratory Investigations of Remote Viewing
Systematic scientific investigation of telepathy and ESP had been carried out 12 in the U.s. by J.B. Rhine and his associates during the 1930s and the 1940s at Dukes University, using a set of five 'Zener Cards' containing symbols such as square, circle, star, plus sign, and a wavy pattern. One of these cards selected at random would be kept open in one room and a 'transmitting agent' would focus his mental attending and concentration on the same. A 'receiver' or 'viewer' sitting in an side by side room would endeavour to judge which menu is open. The success rate in such 'card guessing' tests would be recorded. If the experimental hitting rate was statistically more significant than the 'risk expectation' charge per unit of one in five (or 20 per cent) information technology would be interpreted equally prove of a telepathic or ESP mode of information transfer.
Unfortunately, to obtain statistically significant results the experiment had to be repeated thousands of times and this led to 'decline effects' due to boredom (or tiredness) on the function of the remote viewer. To overcome this problem, parapsychology researchers at SRI started using a fix of pictures taken from the National Geographic mag instead of the zener cards. A 'rank lodge' method of quantifying the success rate was developed for this.
The focus of research then shifted to assessing the success rate in 'test bed' or field trials where a remote viewer was asked to sense and draw a natural scene or a military site where an 'agent' or 'buoy' was located. Both the 'transmitting amanuensis' at the site and the 'viewer' or 'receiver' sitting in the lab would be asked to fill out an identical thirty bespeak questionnaire with a yes ('one') or no ('0') marking. This method of assessment was offset developed by Princeton University researchers in their Technology Anomalies Inquiry Plan 13 while investigating 'Precognitive Remote Perception'. Using avant-garde mathematical methods developed in the field of artificial intelligence and pattern recognition, the degree of success of the remote viewer was quantified.
In the adjacent stage of research simulating war machine spying missions, the presence of the transmitting 'agent' at the target site was dispensed with and the remote viewer was encouraged to view relevant armed forces targets within the United states of america, given just the breadth and longitude of the target site. A brief summary of the result of the research on 'anomalous knowledge' sponsored by the US Government is bachelor in Edwin May's website <world wide web.lfr.org>. Dr. May was the Director of this research at SAIC when the program was officially terminated in 1995.
Examples of Some "Examination Bed" Trials
In the course of their investigations the SRI researchers identified at least six 'star performers' with an extraordinary inborn remote viewing talent. While the names of some of them have been revealed, others are only identified by a lawmaking number. Those revealed are briefly mentioned below:
(a) Remote Viewing of a Loftier Technology Site (May 7, 1987)
Viewer: Receiver # R-372 (Now known to exist Joe McMoneagle)
Primary Target Site: Electron Accelerator at The Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).
Cue Supplied: Proper noun and Social Security Number of an Intelligence Officer ('target person') unknown to the remote viewer or others stationed at SRI Labs.
Assignment: Describe the target person'due south movements and the ambience of his surround at eight-hour intervals during a span of 24 hours.
Target Person'southward Actual Movements: Besides moving in the LLNL site, the target person too visited the windmill farm simply outside the LLNL premises at 4 P.M.
Results: "Fuzzy Fix Analysis" of the diverse descriptions provided by the receiver showed that the overall accuracy of the remote viewing was 77 per cent and overall reliability 78 per cent. The reliability of the description of the windmill farm was 100 per cent (accuracy is divers as the 'percentage of target elements described correctly by the viewer' and reliability equally 'percentage of receivers response that is correct'.)
(b) Pond Pool Complex at Rinconada Park, Palo Alto (1974)
This viewing was carried out past Pat Price who was described by Russell Targ as one of their 'psychic treasures'. The target was selected randomly from out of a 'target pool' of sites, unknown to Pat Price and Russell Targ who were stationed within a 'Faraday Muzzle' in the Radio Physics Edifice of SRI International Labs. Hal Puthoff and an associate Bart drove off to the target site, which was five miles away. After the alloted time of 30 minutes, Pat Cost was asked to view and depict the target site.
Pat said he saw 'a round pool of water well-nigh a hundred feet in diameter' (it was actually 110 ft); he too saw 'a rectangular pool sixty ft by 80 ft' (information technology was actually 75' by 100'); he went on to describe a concrete block firm which was also at the site. He drew a diagram of the circuitous. Pat said that the site seemed to be a h2o purification institute and drew two h2o storage tanks and some rotating machinery such every bit pumps etc.
After completing the cartoon and description, all of them drove to the site to assess the accuracy of Pat's viewing. Everything was remarkably accurate except for the two water tanks and the water purification plant, which were absent.
Pat Cost's inclusion of the non-existent tanks remained a puzzle for 21 years. However, the mystery was unexpectedly solved in March 1995 when, equally part of the 'centennial celebrations' of the city of Palo Alto, a commemorative book was published. This brochure carried a picture of the Rinconada Park site taken in 1913 on the occasion of the inauguration of the city's new water works showing two h2o tanks exactly at the location indicated by Pat Price in his 1974 viewing!
This amazing example brings out i of the remarkable features of remote viewing, namely the ability of consciousness to access the past. In RV literature it is referred to as 'retro cognition' while in ancient Indian texts it is described as accessing the 'akashic records'!
(c) Discovery of Rings around Planet Jupiter
Ingo Swann6 the famous psychic who was in fact responsible for getting Hal Puthoff and his colleagues at SRI Labs interested in 'investigating the boundary between the breathing and inanimate' in 1972, suggested carrying out an experiment to remote-view the planet Jupiter before the upcoming NASA Pioneer-x flyby. Much to the "chagrin of Ingo Swann and the SRI researchers, he found a ring effectually Jupiter and wondered if perhaps he had remote-viewed the planet Saturn by mistake". Only when the Pioneer-x flyby did take place information technology confirmed the being of rings around Jupiter.
(Interestingly, a Pune based medical doctor by the proper noun of Dr. P.V.Vartak has contacted this writer and sent newspaper clippings describing his astral visits to the Moon, Mars and Jupiter.)
Examples of Operational Assignments
The post-obit are brief summaries of some very interesting operational assignments as reported in the declassified remote viewing literature.
(a) Radio Listening Post: Urals (1974)
A 'receiver' volunteered to 'scan' the Soviet Marriage for a radio listening mail service and claimed to accept institute i located at Breadth 65-degrees, 0-minutes, 57-seconds (North) and Longitude 59-degrees, 59-minutes, 59-seconds (East) (note the amazing precision in pinpointing the geographical coordinates!). The receiver then described the detailed geographical features of the surround of the site as follows:
"Top, 6200 ft. Scrubby brush, tundra-type ground hummocks, rocky outcroppings, mountains with adequately steep slopes. Facing north for nigh 60 miles, ground slopes to marshland. A mount chain runs off to the right, about 35-degrees east of north. Facing south, mountains run fairly north and south. Facing west, mountains driblet down to foothills for 60 miles or so: some rivers running roughly north. Facing due east, mountains are rather abrupt, dropping to rolling hills and to apartment land. Area site underground, reinforced concrete, doorways of steel of the roll-upwards type. Unusually high ratio of women to men, at least at night. I see some helipads, physical. Light rail tracks run from pads to another set up of rails that parallel the doors into the mountain. 30 miles north (five-degrees west of north) of the site is a radar installation with ane large (165 ft) dish and x small fast-track dishes."
The above report was verified by personnel in the sponsor organisation as beingness essentially right.
(b) Nuclear Inquiry Centre at Semipalatinsk, in the erstwhile Soviet Wedlock (July 1974)
This was CIA's very first operational viewing assignment. The viewer was Pat Toll. Pat was asked to draw what was located at a suspected underground nuclear testing site in the former Soviet Matrimony known past the lawmaking name PNUTS. CIA indicated that information technology was of swell interest to them. They had in their possession a spy satellite photograph of the site.
The viewer was given only the geographical coordinates of the site in degrees, minutes and seconds (This blazon of viewing has been referred to as 'Coordinate Remote Viewing'). Pat was also told that the site was an R&D exam facility. The government's representative decided that if the viewer described either the known multi-story crane or odd structures resembling oil well derricks, then they would keep.
Pat'south clarification of this remote site in his ain words was, "I am lying on my back on the roof of a two or three storeyed brick edifice. It's a sunny mean solar day. The sun feels good. In that location's this nigh amazing thing. There is a giagantic crane moving back and forth over my caput . . . As I drift up in the air and await downwards, it seems to be riding on a rails with one rail on each side of the building. I've never seen anything like that". This viewing consignment continued for a couple weeks during which he drew pictures of the gigantic gantry crane and many other items at the site such equally "a cluster of compressed gas cylinders" which were besides visible in the satellite pictures. The gantry crane was moving on eight large wheels, ii on each of the 4 legs. This unique feature was confirmed by the satellite photos. (The remarkable similarity of his drawing of the crane and the satellite photo can be seen in Ed May's website <world wide web.lfr.org>).
In later on sessions, Pat described the activities in the interior of the building on tiptop of which he was lying earlier. He explained that "people were assembling a giant 60 ft diameter metal sphere using thick metallic 'gores' like sections of an orange peel, simply the workmen were having trouble welding it all together every bit the pieces were warping; they were therefore looking for a lower temperature welding material".
SRI researchers were later told that the site was the super-secret Soviet atomic bomb laboratory at Semipalatisk. They also learnt three years later from a news item published in Aviation Week magazine that "the sphere which was nearly 58 anxiety in bore was intended to capture and store free energy from nuclear driven explosives or pulse power generators". (Russell Targ has commented that 'the accuracy of Cost's cartoon is the sort of affair that I as a physicist would never have believed, if I had not seen it for myself.)
(c) A Spectacular Example of Precognitive Remote Viewing
(Carried out by Joe McMoneagle in September 1979)
Mission: Spy satellite photographs had shown suspicious heavy construction action around a building located 100 meters from a large body of water, somewhere in northern Russian federation. The National Security Council (NSC) wanted to know what was going on there.
Consignment: Joe was given only the geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) and asked to describe the site.
When Joe said it was a "cold location, near a trunk of h2o with large buildings and smoke stacks etc", NSC was satisfied that he was probably at the right site. They and so showed him the satellite photograph in their possession and asked him to detect out what was going on inside the building. Joe said, "The interior is very large and noisy; agile working area, total of scaffolding, girders and blue flashes probably arc welding." He took a break and connected in some other session, "Probably a huge submarine under construction (Draws a sketch with dimensions, etc). A long flat deck; strangely angled missile tubes, about eighteen to xx in number. A new blazon of mechanism to bulldoze the submarine (nuclear powered?); a double hull."
At this betoken the NSC representatives figured that Joe must be wrong because if what he said was truthful, it would be the world's biggest submarine! No US intelligence agency had ever heard of it. The Us did non possess a submarine this large. Too, who would build a submarine in a building then far from water? How would they launch it? But since Joe had acquired the reputation of being very accurate, NSC asked him to 'view the future' and find out when it would be launched!
Joe 'scanned the future month by month' and said the Russians would blast a channel to connect the building with the trunk of h2o and launch the submarine in four months.
Confirmation : In January 1980, exactly equally predicted past Joe, spy satellite pictures confirmed the launching of the world's biggest submarine after structure of an artificlal channel connecting the building to the water. Information technology had 20 missile tubes, a big apartment deck etc exactly as described by Joe!
(This example brings out spectacularly the 'non local nature of consciousness' non only in infinite but also in fourth dimension, even into the hereafter!)
(d) Location of hostage being held in Lebanon (February 1988)
The US Defense Intelligence Agency asked where Marine Col.William Higgins was being held as earnest in Lebanese republic. A viewer said Higgins was in a specific edifice in a specific Due south Lebanon village. A released hostage later confirmed that Higgins had probably been in that edifice at that time.
(c)Another instance of Precognitive Remote Viewing (1989)
Pentagon asked a viewer about possible Libyan response to U.S. criticism of chemical weapons work at Rabta.
The viewer's response: A send named 'Patua' or 'Potua' would arrive in Tripoli to transport chemicals to an eastern Libyan port.
Verification: A ship named 'Batato' in fact arrived in Tripoli and loaded undetermined cargo, which was transported to an eastern Libyan port.
Implications and Conclusions:
The intelligence community in the United states of america clearly seems to value RV data whenever it is available, as a very useful additional input, complementing information gathered through various other means and methods. For example, in the present war against terrorism there is every reason to speculate that the agencies involved in tracking down Osama Bin Laden must accept sought the help of some of their reputed 'remote viewers' for whatever value it may be.
However, the more important implication of the findings of RV research to humanity equally a whole peradventure is that it serves to validate the age-one-time concept of many Eastern wisdom-traditions that have ever emphasised the non-local nature of man 'consciousness'. Thus information technology serves to provide some degree of scientific validity to diverse forms of spiritual and distant healing practices equally emphasised by Russell Targ himself in his 1997 book titled Miracles of Heed. ix
Another very of import aspect emerging from RV research is the question of precognition and its implications. It over again seems to give a mensurate of 'scientific credence' to various stunning only anecdotal stories of premonitions and remarkably successful 'predictions' such as that of Edgar Casey. Princeton University'south PEAR group and others have discussed these implications in depth. 13 Precognition touches on some very fundamental philosophical questions regarding free will and causality.
In view of the importance and implications of the discipline of Remote Viewing to our understanding of Consciousness and considering that Remote Viewing had already been discussed in considerable depth in our ancient scriptures, information technology is high time that the subject exist taken upwardly for systematic evaluation at some reputed academic institution(due south) in India. In particular, it would exist of keen interest to verify if appropriate yogic/meditation/or other training practices tin can help to train subjects in developing Remote Viewing skills as claimed by some yoga scholars in India. 15
