Unlock the secrets of your soul with the new book

blends mythology, psychology, and epic tales like Dante's Inferno to
guide you to know yourself better discover practical tools for
healing and growth. Perfect for clinicians, clients, for anyone seeking
a deeper connection with their inner workings. You ever heard
(01:06):
of the concept remote viewing, the purported ability to perceive
distant or unseen targets through extrasensory perception or esp It
occupies a murky realm when it comes to paranormal claims
and collides with government secrecy. Hey, unless you've seen agents
of shield and they didn't even believe in it until
they encountered somebody that had it but not really Born
(01:27):
in the crucible of Cold War espionage, remote viewing is
both a tantalizing promise of human potential and the lightning
run for conspiracy theories, famation civilizations to modern intelligence operations,
and story weaves together suppressed truths, cosmic connections, and allegations
of elite cover ups. The saga of remote viewing began
in the nineteen seventies, when the US government, rattled by
(01:48):
rumors of Soviet psychic warfare, poured millions into programs like
the Stanford Research Institute experiments and the military Stargate Project.
Declassified CIA and Defense Intelligence Agency documents reveal efforts to
train viewers to mentally spy on enemy bases, locate hostages,
or uncovered secrets, all from the comfort of a room.
(02:08):
Pioneers like physicists Russell targ and psychic Ingo Swan claim
remarkable successes, such as sketching Soviet weapons facilities or pinpointing
hidden US sites with uncanny detail. These feats fuel conspiracies
that governments steel wheel advanced psychic technologies hidden from public view. However,
skeptics argue remote viewing was a psychological operation designed to
(02:31):
mislead adversaries or justify bloated budgets. The Stargate project, shuttered
in nineteen ninety five, was deemed inconclusive, with the results
shocked up to chants. Vague descriptions are biased This dismissal
sparks the counter conspiracy that authorities discredit remote viewing to
conceal its true power, bearing a tool that could disrupt
their control over knowledge. The debate goes on in online communities.
(02:56):
A lot of people believe are oft an anchor remote
viewing in ancient history, claiming it's not a modern discovery
but the rediscovered art. They point to the Egyptian whose
priests allegedly used translike states to access divine knowledge or
glimpse distant lands. This was something al Do Huxley I believed,
and I think even young Carl Jung thought some more
similar hieroglyphics and myths about seeing beyond the physical world
(03:18):
are cited as evidence of psychic mystery, possibly tied to
the construction of pyramids or similar or communication with other
worldly entities. When you have that theory that aliens came
to help us build the pyramids. Similarly, the mythical civilization
of Atlantis, ascribed by Pelato as a technologically advanced society,
is said to have harnessed remote viewing for governance, exploration,
(03:39):
or even interstellar contact. Some theorist speculate Atlnthian knowledge was
preserved by secret societies, only to be rediscovered in modern experiments.
A lot of these claims are, of course or unproven,
and resonate with those who believe global elites hide humanity
psychic heritage to keep populations subdued. The extraterrestrial angle adds
(03:59):
an the layer. Some assert that aliens, perhaps guiding the
Egyptians or Atlneans, gifted humanity psychic abilities. The classified documents
mentioning UFOs alongside ISP research stoke theories that governments suppressed
this cosmic connection to monopolize alien technology. The enduring fascination
(04:20):
of the remote viewing stems from its challenge to materialist science,
which dismisses ESP as pseudoscience, and his resonance with distrust
and institutional secrecy. The lack of replicable evidence under control
conditions keeps it contentious. Was remote viewing a genuine breakthrough
stifled by fearful powers, a Cold War ploy or an
echo of ancient wisdom? The truth likely lingers in a
(04:42):
shadowy nexus of experimental science, human aspiration, and covert agendas.
One of the things we have to remember, too is
conspiracies can thrive in an environment where you don't have
access to confidential information. Now, they did release documents talking
about this, but even that leaves gaps, doesn't it, Because
people don't believe a lot of times that they revealed
(05:04):
everything in those documents. Maybe they shredded others. Maybe they
only showed what we wanted the public to know. Since
we don't have full transparency and probably never will, this
conspiracy theory or idea we'll call it that will live on.
Is there such a thing as remote viewing or ESP?
Who knows.
