U.S. REMOTE VIEWING: A NEW MEDIUM FOR SALVATION SCIENCE
RE: SALVATION SCIENCE COMMENDS ITS GNOSIS TO INTELLIGENCE
http://www.salvationscience.com

Like Jesus once observed, their eyes and ears are dull from so much
hearing and seeing. Then comes the Psychotic State of Denial,
whereby the insane ignore the mountain of scriptural and scientific
evidence to support our theological theories. Emboldened by their
own monopolistic mass following, they feel secure in their own
fabrications and lies. It is up to the CIA to continue to
declassify these "sensitive" matters, of which the public is
heretofore unworthy.

Therefore, the 8-Fold Suffering continues, unchallenged and
unabated, while mankind approaches the coming famines, wars and
pandemics, without a single bit of preparation or even any knowledge
at all of what must be done. This is all according to scriptural
prophecies, many of which are in The Tantrayudha. We commend the
scientists of Russia and the USA for their good work in Remote
Viewing and Tantric Experimentation.

In short, there comes a time in which the survival techniques of
Salvation Science will determine which people and which knowledge,
beliefs and practices will survive these "Tribulations". There are
no redeeming benefits in erroneous religious interpretations and
a "medical science" which puts profits above any affordable health
and longevity. A Soviet soldier once told Swamiji: "You have shown
us how to survive a nuclear war". Was he referring to Urine Therapy
or Rasa Tantra? Jai Om. - Sw. Tantrasangha

HISTORY OF REMOTE VIEWING by Paul H. Smith
http://irva.org/papers/CRVhistory.html

Remote viewing (RV) did not spring into existence overnight. Its
earliest ancestors can be traced back thousands of years to the days
of the early Greeks and beyond. But RV's most direct precursors
date from the 1930's, beginning with experiments in clairvoyance
under conscientious scientists like J.B. Rhine. Research into
telepathy and "thought transference" by notables such as Upton
Sinclair (described in his book Mental Radio) and Rene Warcollier
(Mind to Mind), together with investigations into out-of-body states
contributed further to developments that would eventually produce
remote viewing.

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, out-of-body experiments were
conducted in New York City by researchers at the American Society
for Psychical Research. One of the subjects of these experiments
was Ingo Swann, an artist and student of the paranormal who had come
to New York years before from Colorado. Tiring of the standard
research protocols, Swann suggested a number of changes in and
improvements to the experiments, which among other things led to a
successful series of attempts to mentally describe the current
weather in various cities around the US. After Ingo's descriptions,
the weather conditions in these cities were verified by a phone call
to a weather station or other reliable authority.

These experiments suggested to others that something unusual to
current understanding was involved by the "remotely viewed"
locations and objects otherwise inaccessible to direct human
perception. The results were provocative and underscored the value
of further research.

In 1972 Dr. Hal Puthoff, a physicist at SRI-International, a
California-based research institute that had been spun off from
Stanford University, expressed his interest to a researcher in New
York in conducting research into a form of non-conventional
communications. The New York researcher was an acquaintance of
Swann's, which fact eventually led to Swann and Puthoff getting
together to conduct an experiment that ultimately attracted
attention and funding from the Central Intelligence Agency.
Research physicist Russell Targ soon joined Swann and Puthoff at
SRI, forming the core of a team that researched and refined
understanding of what had now become known as "remote viewing." For
the next two decades most remote viewing research was funded by the
government and performed in secret. But a few less-secretive
sources also provided support, and a limited amount of non-
classified information about RV was published.

In the mid-'70s government support for the growing RV program moved
from the CIA to the Defense Intelligence Agency, as well as certain
other military organizations. Subsequent experiments and research
explored the edges of what remote reviewing could do and tried to
improve quality and consistency of the results.

In 1978 the US Army created a unit to use RV operationally in
collecting intelligence against foreign adversaries. This program
continued under Army sponsorship until 1986, when the operational
and research arms of the government remote viewing program were
combined under the leadership of DIA. In about 1991 DIA renamed the
program "Star Gate."

By this time, the research part of the program had itself been
transferred from SRI to Science Applications International
Corporation (SAIC), and was directed by Dr. Edwin May, who had
replaced Hal Puthoff in 1985 when Puthoff moved to assume
directorship of the Institute of Advanced Studies in Austin, TX.

Concurrent with the government RV program, civilian researchers were
exploring phenomena related to remote viewing. Some of these were
replications of SRI's experiments, while others followed
complementary avenues of research. Most prominent of the latter
were Charles Honorton's "Ganzfeld" techniques, and the "remote
perception" experiments conducted at the Princeton Engineering
Anomalies Research laboratory. Civilian applications were being
explored as well.

In 1995, an act of Congress transferred responsibility for the Star
Gate program from DIA back to CIA. That fall, the CIA declassified
portions of the program and released a controversial research report
purporting to show that remote viewing was not useful as an
intelligence collection tool. By the time this document was
released, the CIA had already terminated the remote viewing program.

In the years since the 1995 closure of the government program, a
number of persons previously associated with it have gone public by
publishing books, giving media interviews, and/or offering training
commercially in remote viewing methodology.

RV HISTORY
A Brief Time Line of Remote Viewing History
Paul H. Smith
reprinted from APERTURE, Vol. 1, No.2, 2002
http://irva.org/papers/RVTimeline.html

This chronology was compiled by IRVA vice-president Paul H. Smith
partly based on research for his forthcoming book,
Reading the Enemy's Mind.

This is only a brief chronology of events in remote viewing history.
Many more details could be added, and many more names included. But
this will serve as a starting place to record the major events and
some of the important personalities in relation to one another.
Certainly, important events and personalities remain to be added.
This chronology will become more complete over time. If you wish to
nominate an event to be considered for addition to the timeline
please forward it to Timeline.

Readers should be aware that there are two parallel remote viewing
timelines: the operational, military-run program at Ft. Meade,
Maryland, and the civilian-led, military-funded research program in
California. External civilian research and applications were also
taking place. In the chronology below, the operational and military

THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE...FINALLY!
Paul H. Smith
http://rviewer.com/ArchiveArticle.html

Remote viewing burst into public consciousness at the end of
November, 1995. Soon, late-night radio talk shows, Internet buzz,
and a handful of popular books made it all but a household term.
Until now, though, what people have mostly had to go on about the
realities of the U.S. Government's dabbling with psychic warfare
were the testimonies (and memories) of its veterans. Sometimes those
stories seemed plausible, but sometimes they conflicted, while other
times they seemed inflated or contrived. As with any event in modern
times, the best evidence for this amazing saga would have been the
documents that recorded what really happened, what really was done,
and who really was responsible for things that occurred.
Unfortunately, those documents were missing – and they were missing
because what is known in government circles as the "proponent
agency," the government entity that is responsible, never got around
to making them available.

When what became known as the Star Gate Program was declassified in
the fall of 1995, the Central Intelligence Agency promised to make
the archives available within six months. That time came and went.
The release date was pushed two years down the road. It still never
happened. It began to look to all of us waiting for those treasures
to be released that we would never see them in our life times. That
meant that much of the scientific progress surrounding remote
viewing that was made was not available to be used. That meant
unraveling the various versions of the remote viewing story was
indefinitely on hold. That meant that the many lessons-learned from
laboratory and practical experimentation with remote viewing would
not be available to build upon. Many folks would be left to re-
inventing the wheel. It was a crying shame.

But suddenly, that has changed.

The good news is that now, after nine years of waiting, a major
portion of the archives of the US Government's seminal remote
viewing program have not only been declassified, but made generally
accessible to the public. For well over a year these same documents
had been available on a limited basis, but you had to go bodily to
the National Archives in College Park, Maryland, sit at a CD-Rom
carrel, wait while the CDs were loaded for you, then page through
the [15,200] documents one at a time, printing off copies of those
you wanted to take with you. It was laborious and maddening...and a
crap shoot. The documents were numbered, not titled, there was no
comprehensive index, no subject-matter nor chronological
organization to help you know where to look or what you might find
there. Soon after the Star Gate corpus was installed in the National
Archives, CIA remote viewing program founder Dr. Hal Puthoff tried
it out, spending the better part of a day and coming away with
relatively little (though he did have lunch with Joe McMoneagle). A
U.S. News & World Report journalist went to the Archives and ended
up with a hodge-podge of documents of which she couldn't make heads
nor tales. In January, 2003 she faxed me a one-inch stack of them
and we had to go through them together over the phone while I
explained what each was and where it fit into the overall picture.

But now all that has changed. Ninety thousand pages of the Star Gate
Archives, making up nearly[15,500] documents can be owned by anyone.
As I said before, that's the good news. But now for the bad news: It
is still hard to sort out a very confusing mis-mash of
correspondence, research reports, remote viewing sessions, tasking
documents, memos, and so on. I just spent four exhausting weeks
going through all fourteen disks the CIA provided, which is what it
took to even begin to make sense of it all.

What I did was not much more than a skim-job – though I actually
laid eyes on perhaps around 8,000 of the total, relatively few of
the documents (though still amounting to hundreds) was I able to
exam in any great depth. But it was fascinating. I found hundreds –
perhaps even as many as a couple of thousand – operational remote
viewing sessions. These are often accompanied by the tasking sheets
and by many of the final reports that comprised the audit trail of
complete "live" intelligence-gathering remote viewing projects.
Among these are some of the legendary ones you've heard of before:
for example, Joe McMoneagle's famous sessions against Building 402,
where the world's largest submarine, the Typhoon, was being secretly
built by the Soviets. Also here is the long series of sessions done
against America's Stealth aircraft before its existence was revealed
to the public. The purpose of this remote viewing effort was to
evaluate what danger Russian remote viewers might pose the secret
project. It turned out to be considerable. I also found dozens of
sessions on the Iranian hostage problem, remote viewings from the
project done after the raid on Col. Qaddafy's Libyan palace,
sessions seeking to locate POWs in Southeast Asia, a project trying
to unlock the secrets of a Soviet rocket explosion over Scandinavia,
and many more. Altogether there is extensive documentation for
scores of real-world remote viewing intelligence collection
operations.

It is one thing to hear about this (or, as in my case, remember them
in one's past). It is an altogether different experience to actually
see these fascinating documents with one's own eyes or, printing
them out, actually hold hard copies of them in one's hand to be
leafed through and carefully examined. There was a lot to learn that
was new even for me.

But the operational remote viewing materials are just the start.
There are also hundreds more remote viewing training sessions,
including many done by such lights as Mel Riley, Joe McMoneagle,
Bill Ray, Lyn Buchanan, Gabrielle Pettingell, Dave Morehouse, Ed
Dames, and even a large sheaf of my own. I took time to look at some
of these training sessions, and found it quite enlightening to see
how virtually everyone, no matter how their reputations may have
eventually grown, struggled in the beginning trying to get a leg up
on this notably flighty discipline we call remote viewing.

Also interesting to see are all the approaches tried to solve the
hard problems of remote viewing, "Search" (finding places, people or
things the location of which is unknown), and "Future" (trying to
predict important events). For Future there were a number of
projects aimed at evaluating how well viewers could recount what
would be on the front page of The Washington Post newspaper or on
the cover of Newsweek magazine a week hence. There was an attempt to
see if viewers could predict events during Liberty Week 1986. Some
of these produced interesting, though far from perfect results. For
Search, there were projects involving dowsing for an agent's
location in a nearby area, and there were attempts to modify remote
viewing beacon experiments as a search tool.

There was even one long-term project that involved several viewers
tasked retro-cognitively – against a target in the past, to see how
remote viewing the past compared in quality to attempts at remote
viewing the present and future. The target was the attack on Pearl
Harbor. Because of the high emotional content of this particular
tasking, it should be no surprise that a huge amount of accurate
data was produced by the viewers. I came across all this as I sorted
through the Archives.

There were also various interesting attempts at what were
called "utility assessments" – projects that pitted viewers against
targets and problems similar to what they might encounter in a real
situation. These simulated operations often, if not always, produced
good results.

All forms of remote viewing methods are represented here. I came
across a large body of extended remote viewing (ERV), coordinate
(now "controlled") remote viewing (CRV), and written remote viewing
(WRV, a form of channeling) session transcripts. But there are also
many other, more free-flow types of remote viewing done by the
pioneers of the remote viewing program, and many of these seemed
just as worthy and successful as those done in later years.
Besides remote viewing session transcripts, though, there are other
things: There are scores of draft and final versions of various
research reports from both the SRI-International and Science
Applications International Corporation (SAIC) labs that performed
the bulk of the science behind remote viewing. These include
explorations not only of remote viewing but also of intuition,
psychokinesis, and other psi-related subject. Those concerned with
remote viewing cover everything from documenting protocols and
methods, to how one evaluates remote viewing sessions, to how to
screen a population for remote viewing talent, to training methods,
to hypnosis (see the Taskings&Response feature in this issue of
Aperture) and much more besides.

There are also hundreds of "foreign assessment" documents – papers
and research reports from around the world (but particularly from
China and Russia) on developments in parapsychology and
consciousness studies. One interesting find, for example, was a 370-
page compilation of research on the Chinese practice known as
Qigong.

And there is also the relatively trivial – administrative and
budgetary documents; policy memos on experimenting on human
subjects, indoctrination and non-disclosure certificates for those
being granted access to what at the time was a highly-classified
program. But even these seemingly mundane documents have their
importance, in that they provide the audit trail, the who-did-what-
do-whom framework that will allow a fuller history of the remote
viewing program to be known. Some dismiss this sort of history as
being unimportant. But it is only here that many of the more
sensationalistic claims made since RV "went public" can be proved or
disproved. There are those who don't want the history delved into
because it will show that the claims they've been making over the
past decade may not necessarily be as firmly grounded as they would
like us to believe. But, jumbled though it may be, here that history
is for anyone with enough patient and detective skills to sift
through it. Besides, as happened to me, it can be quite entertaining
to be roaming through these Archives and then suddenly stumble
across letters and memos written by CIA scientists and officials
talking back and forth about what exactly they had gotten themselves
into and just what they might be able to do with it!

There are even some rather sensational things to be found. There are
transcripts of several remote viewing sessions with the planet Mars
as the target. In my skimming I encountered a session Mel Riley
worked with the Ark of the Covenant as his target. And particularly
startling was the report of remote viewing work done in 1983 by
unnamed government viewers that described a terrorist plot to fly a
business jet loaded with explosives into the US Capitol building
(see sidebar).

As I say, there is all that good news. But there is some other bad
news, as well. First, as one goes through these Archives one must
always bear in mind that these were once-secret (sometimes even Top
Secret) documents, and not everything about the remote viewing
program was deemed releasable. The documents present in the Star
Gate collection demonstrate that fact quite clearly. Not only were
[20,000] pages of documents withheld entirely, but many parts of the
ones that were released have been "redacted" – or edited (or, if you
want to be picky, censored). It is annoying to be paging through an
interesting document only to discover that two crucial pages out of
the middle are missing, with the "next two pages exempt" label
heading a blank page with a horizontal slash through it. Elsewhere,
all the pages are there but phrases, sentences, or sometimes even
whole paragraphs may be blanked out. By far it is persons' names
that are most often hidden, but there are plenty of other redactions
as well. Fortunately, most of the session transcripts themselves
tend to be intact (though often geographic coordinates are blocked).
But more frustrating is that many of the operational targets for
those sessions are not revealed. What good is a session transcript
if you don't know what the target is?

Some good, actually, it turns out, since at the very least one can
learn from how a given viewer worked a certain project, how he or
she executed certain aspects of the process, and so on. Nonetheless,
lacking the targeting information makes these sessions much less
valuable than they might have been. We can only assume that there
were sound national security reasons for withholding that
information. One often wonders, though, when some of the documents
with the best evaluations of success for the remote viewing effort
are themselves edited of the very information that tells the reader
how and why the work was so successful.

A particular example I have in mind is a multi-page document
containing input for a Military Intelligence Board meeting that was
to decide the fate of the Star Gate program. The document spoke very
highly of a significant number of successes the military remote
viewers had in operational projects in which they had provided
valuable actionable intelligence. However, all those examples were
completely redacted. One might almost think there was still a
conspiracy afoot to undermine the credibility of the remote viewing
program by the Agency that was responsible for terminating it.
Significantly, the program continued for five years beyond that
fateful meeting. Apparently the examples, while now unavailable to
us, did at the time at least persuade the generals and admirals and
their representatives who make up the Board.

Fortunately, such problems are much fewer with the many training
sessions contained in the Archive. With some occasional exceptions,
feedback is included with these session transcripts, or is located
in nearby files. As I mentioned above, these sessions also are very
instructive, though for obvious reasons not always of the same
quality as the operational work. Still there are many brilliant
stand-outs among these sessions as well. And it helps that one can
evaluate success more easily since the targeting information is for
the most part readily available.

While I have focused mostly on what is here in the Star Gate
documents, I found what isn't here also to be interesting. What
seems not to be here is any documentation from the Air Force program
run by Dale Graff in the Foreign Technology Division at Wright
Patterson Air Force Base, beginning in 1975. That program went on
for several years and achieved a number of important things. In
fact, Graff and his program were directly responsible for keeping
the SRI-International remote viewing research effort going after the
CIA abandoned it the first time. But there is nothing to show for
it, at least as far as I've been able to discover. There is also
little in evidence from Graff's and Dr. Jack Vorona's offices at the
Defense Intelligence Agency's main facility in Washington, DC. A lot
of high-level coordination with Congress and with important agencies
in the intelligence community took place there, and yet the paper
trail does not seem to be present in the Archives. Yet more
disappointing yet is the absence of any of the raw data (remote
viewing transcripts and such), and most of the background
documentation that should have accompanied the research work at SRI
and at SAIC. Mostly what is present in the Archives from those
important remote viewing venues is draft and final reports of the
research that was done, plus a volume of correspondence from the
early days. There is much more of importance that has not,
therefore, yet seen the light of day.

All that notwithstanding, the present mammoth compendium of
documentation on remote viewing operations, training, and research
is of immense value. It is confusing, it is intimidating, it is even
sometimes mind-numbing. But the treasures within it make it well
worth exploring. Interestingly, my contact at the National Archives
tells me that another 20,000 pages are being prepared for a separate
release. With any luck, much of the missing documentation will be
found in there. However, given how long it took this current batch
to come forth, I don't plan on holding my breath.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

[NOTE: Though I have griped about it for years, the Central
Intelligence Agency does deserve accolades for the work done with
these Archives. Clearly, thousands of man-hours went into review and
preparation of all these documents. Though I might like to have seen
some things done differently, and had access to some of the
information that ended up being withheld, this was obviously a
Herculean effort and deserves some praise from all of us interested
in remote viewing.]
