Remote Viewing: Human "Use" or Human 'Potential"?
by Joan d'Arc
In much the same way that the CIA introduced the mind-expanding LSD
experience into a closeted youth culture of the 1960s and 70s, the CIA
has now introduced "remote viewing" into a mainstream culture totally
unprepared for its potential repercussions on an "uninitiated" psyche.
Remote viewing has become a tool of the masses, being extensively
peddled on the internet with an "anyone can do it" attitude. Several
businesses offer the services of a staff of trained remote viewers to
perform various tasks, from locating missing persons or underground
oil deposits, to other aspects of police, private, corporate or
government investigative work.

The Scientology Connection
At the time of the SRI studies, Ingo Swann was a Scientologist at OT
Level VII, the highest level achievable in the organization. He
attributes his success to techniques he learned in Scientology. Swann
presented a paper at the First International Congress on Psychotronic
Research in Prague on the Scientology paradigm as a model for
developing and exploring paranormal abilities. The paper was entitled,
"Scientological Techniques: A Modern Paradigm for the Exploration of
Consciousness and Psychic Integration." (23) Hal Puthoff was an OT
III, and was married in the Scientology Church. Pat Price was an OT
Level IV. There were reportedly fourteen Scientology "Clears" running
around at SRI. Yet, among psi critics, Scientologists could never
really be trusted to conduct psi experiments impartially, since
"negative results were against their religion." (24)
According to Jon Atack, "for at least ten years, Puthoff and Swann
owed allegiance to both the U.S. intelligence community and to
Scientology." In 1982, ten years after U.S. intelligence agencies
first employed Scientology's psychic spies, he explains, Hubbard
ranted about an attempted takeover of Scientology by one of the
agencies employing Puthoff and Swann. At about this time, the mass
exodus/cleansing of Scientology occurred, resulting in the founding of
various Scientology offshoots and channeling groups. By 1984, he
notes, Puthoff and Swann departed the Church to become involved with a
"breakaway movement" called military intelligence. Shortly after, the
Defense Intelligence Agency took over the new and expanded "Grill
Flame" remote viewing project.(25)
Tracing the same time track, let's explore the possible genesis of
Scientology itself. According to Peter Moon, in his appendix to
Montauk Revisited, Hubbard studied "narcosynthesis" and hypnotic
regression techniques while working for Naval Intelligence. Moon
explains that Hubbard combined principles from this research along
with "earlier studies" to formulate his Dianetics teachings, which
Moon describes as "major regression therapy." Moon states that Hubbard
also studied Aleister Crowley's work, but that Hubbard's techniques
were very much his own. Moon connects Hubbard's role on Earth to two
things: his involvement with Jack Parsons in the Babalon Working
ritual [see Mike Culkin, this issue], and his "Wilson" heritage.
The Wilson clan, explains Scientologist L. Kin, is a family of
highly-initiated Scottish Druids. It turns out that Hubbard's father,
Harry Ross Hubbard, was a Wilson who had been adopted in America by
the Hubbard family. Kin asserts that Hubbard "grew up in fairly
elevated spiritual circles." Scientologists oppose the idea that
Hubbard would have been working with either Parsons or Crowley, since
he represented the antithesis to their type of magic. There are two
opposing theories with regard to Babalon Working. Some believe Hubbard
was a "black" magician and his agreement with Parsons was real, and
others believe Hubbard was trying to shut down Parson's OTO Lodge.
Crowley considered the Babalon Working ritual a "confidence scam,"
wherein Hubbard got away with Parson's girl, as well as his money.
Parsons died in a violent explosion in his laboratory a few years
later.
Was the Hubbard/Parson's "tryst" actually a deadly contest between a
Druidic wizard and a Satanist? As Kin tells it, he once met a Druid
who was a "solo auditor" in Scientology, who told him that the Druids
believe Hubbard was "entrusted with the task of making Druidic
knowledge available to mankind in popular language." Kin called an
elder Druid to verify the story. The elder confirmed that Hubbard was
born into a clan of magicians of the Druidic tradition, and received a
Druidic education from late childhood on, lasting about fifteen years.
He reiterated the Druidic belief that Hubbard was entrusted with the
task of rendering Crowley powerless, since Crowley's form of black
magic was considered evil to them. Hubbard's mission was "to
rehabilitate Druidic knowledge in the eyes of the world." Hubbard was
purportedly "excluded from Druidic circles after founding the Church
of Scientology in 1954, since it is against policy to start a
religion.(26)
Druidic philosophy encompasses the idea that the world is animate and
ensouled. The Druidic apprehension of the world is as communion:
die perceiver assumes the identity of the perceived and the boundaries
blur. The great "bards" were masters at "walking between the worlds."
Druidic magic is also closely associated with the use of medicinal
herbs. The Druids were guardians of an oral-based culture; as such,
they underwent intensive training in memory and concentration. The

The Thetan's Briefcase
It has been noted that Hubbard did a lot of reading in the occult, and
was for a time a member of the Rosicrucian society AMORC at their
headquarters in San Jose. One of the most important Rosicrucian
concepts is the ancient theory of the "thoughtron," the idea that
thought has mass, and that all events, mental or physical, are
recorded as vibrations in every object. In this regard, remote viewer
David Morehouse has noted that every object in the "ether" was
animate, and that a "target:s surroundings recorded the history of the
place without prejudice and stood ready to bear witness. "(27) Another
important notion in ancient teachings is the loudly spoken word;
iteration and reiteration facilitates clear visualization and gives
form to thoughts. Thus, Hubbard's philosophy may have been influenced
by Freudian, Rosicrucian, Theosophic, Transcendental Meditation,
Mesmerism (hypnotism), and Druidic principles. Let's explore some of
the concepts of Scientology that have been widely published by the
Church itself.
The source of mental energy, according to Hubbard, is "theta." Every
spiritual being operating a body is a thetan. A thetan is "an immortal
spirit being who produces and uses theta in order to translate his
thoughts into action." According to Hubbard's philosophy, all mental
imagery consists of mental MEST, which is "Mass and Energy existing in
Space and Time." MEST has differing density, solidity, mass, size, and
durability, depending upon the amount of attention units given to it
by a thetan. Mental energy consists of attention units, or theta
quanta. Theta quanta are very fine vibrating subatomic particles.
Hubbard taught that "whatever one puts attention on is energized by
theta quanta flow." A thetan habitually puts "lumps" of attention
units on things in his path, which connect and anchor him to the
world.(28)
Theta is manifested as "pure thought or concept in the form of
p(ostulates." It is also manifested as "energized thought in the form
of loud thinking and mental image pictures.", As L. Kin writes, a
thetan creates his own theta field in order to have a "platform to act
from." Although a thetan actually exists outside the coordinates of
MEST, he locates himself within a field so that he can be perceptible.
This bundle of mental energy located within a playing field is
referred to by Hubbard as "mind." In order to function in the "game"
of life, a thetan needs "a body, food, playmates, and things to play
with." Therefore, these things are manifested through the platform of
mind on two levels, the level of mental MEST and the level of physical
MEST. The thetan continuously creates the energy field called mind,
through which he makes himself perceptible and through which he makes
himself a player in the "game." According to Kin, "mind" is the
thetan's brief case. (29)
According to Hubbard, a thetan gets the brain working "by pulsing
towards it." The mental vibrations of the mind set off the brain's
neurons. The mind, consisting of pure energy, is in a Constant state
of vibration, perceived as emotions. The Latin root of the word
"emotion" is "a motion emanating." As such, emotions have a frequency
and an amplitude. According to Kin, emotions are "the thetan's mode of
pulsing into his body and environment and of responding to it." As
Hubbard clarifies, "the intention of exerting effort bridges from the
thetan into the body by emotion." Thus, the "mental force of emotion,
which emanates from a thought, is necessary to achieve motion, or
physical activity." (30)
Hubbard taught that through their postulates (thoughts, concepts) all
thetans "overlap as infinities," or perhaps we might say, "in
infinity." This is comparable to Swann's idea of "bio-mind net." A
thetan, above the level of mental MEST, as a postulate overlapping
other postulates, is in a state or condition Hubbard called "static."
The game of life, according to Hubbard, is unpredictable, and the
state of "not knowing" is an agreement, an act of will. But the more
habitual "not knowing" becomes, the more one becomes trapped in the
MEST Universe, and forgets he is actually "up there" as well, existing
as pure thought, and even further up, as pure static: the source of
thought. This realm is comparable to the "ether" or Matrix which
remote viewers claim to explore.(31)
Auditing is an attempt to determine the correct classification of each
ridge, postulate, or counterpostulate as "homemade" or "foreign-made,"
and uncreating it by "running through the incident" that created it
until the sequence of events is known, and the negative emotions
charging it are drained off. Auditing is done by two people, an
auditor and an auditee, using the infamous E-Meter, which is an
emotion detector. The auditor is "Clear," someone who has reached a
point of mental clearedness. Kin states, once one becomes an advanced
solo auditor, they "will have no problem entering another person's
reactive data banks telepathically and assisting him in cleaning them
up." (32)
A "ridge" can be "copied," and can wander from its creator to another
host and become an entity. The original creator "can't get rid of it
because it consists of his theta quanta," and contains the identity of
his thought and emotion at the time of creation. An entity consists of
"at least two brands of theta particles: those of the original creator
and those of the second owner who subconsciously registered the
foreign ridge, and in trying to keep it out, made a copy of it."
According to Hubbard, each thetan has created his universe, and each
person "carries his universe about and feels at home there."
lmportantly, Hubbard taught that "only to the extent that these
universes interact and overlap can there be agreements and
disagreements on games and opinions and thus, reality." (33)
Remarkably, the secret doctrines which Hubbard studied and put to use
preceded the new physics paradigms which assert that reality is shared
consensus between individuals.
One example of the connection between Scientology and Swann's RV
protocol is the "clay model" technique, also practiced at Psi-Tech. A
remote viewer is trained to depict his remote experience in clay in
order to give dimension to perceptual information. Scientology makes
wide use of clay models to describe the emotions conjured up during
auditing sessions. L. Kin writes that the "clay demo" demands that the
student "create examples paralleling on a mest level the high flying
theta concepts he carries about in his personal universe." This
teaches him two things, Kin explains. Firstly, how difficult it is to
create, and secondly, what his universe really looks like.(34)
To summarize, memories have a vibratory element; "engrams" are
recorded memories of events. Mental pictures are called "mock ups" and
have a real and objective existence. When an object is imagined, it
acquires a reality which can influence the circuitry of the E-meter.
An operating Thetan is capable of exteriorization; a state which
Hubbard referred to in his command to "Get Three Feet in Back of Your
Head." To audit entities on your time track or someone else's time
track, you must locate them and convince them telepathically to leave
their posts. Hubbard claims to have almost died going back to locate
405 trillion-year old "implants" in thetans.
Remote Viewing as Telepathic Time Travel
On one occasion, Joe McMoneagle went after a target brought in by the
FBI. The target was a person whose picture was inside an envelope. The
time and location of the person was not provided. McMoneagle got
comfortably within his "zone" (for which he claims he used HemiSync)
and saw a man dressed in a business suit driving a car. The driver,
who spoke Russian, was being stopped by a policeman. There was a
fishing pole in the back seat. McMoneagle's monitor asked the
significance of the fishing pole. McMoneagle then asked the man, "What
are you going to do with the fishing pole?" As Schnabel remarks, "this
was an especially strange use of the telepathic interrogation
technique." (35)
This scenario is remarkably like a Scientology auditing session.
McMoneagle interrogated the man "telepathically." McMoneagle, whom
Schnabel calls the "shaman in Army boots," apparently following the
time track of the KGB man, observed that he was using the pole as an
aid to dislodge an object placed by a fellow agent. His explanation
for the use of the pole was never verified. The Russians had been seen
quite often with fishing poles, and had been seen fishing in groups.
Their fascination with fishing poles remained an elusive enigma.
McMoneagle's explanation does not seem to make sense. This is the gray
area between the states of "mjnd/awake-body/asleep" and
"three-feet-in-back-of-your-head." Even EEG readings are of no help
here. Remote viewing inevitably walks the hazy ether between
clairvoyant parlor trick and a tool of the national security state.

to use the HemiSync method.(42) He then went on to study with an
anonymous remote viewer, whom some assert was Ed Dames of Psi-Tech.
The remote viewers at Brown's Farsight Institute were responsible for
the Far-Side claims that flying saucers were trailing the Hale-Bopp
comet. A few months after his outfit made these Far-Out claims on
their web site and on the Art Bell radio show, a UFO-cult group called
Heaven's Gate committed suicide to join their space family. Wired
News reported that notes posted to "alt.religion.scientology" by one
of the group members referred to remote viewing information as
"fantastic proof that the 'Next Level' mothership is coming." Using
the e-mail address "rep@heavensgate.com ," the writer stated he was
working in seclusion with his disciples, preparing them for membership
in the next world. (Art Bell has just suddenly retired from his
radical radio career with cryptic reasons. Could it have something to
do with Heaven's Gate?

The techniques which cause the mind to bilocate are the kept secrets
of shamanism, and are counterintuitive to the Western scientific
brainscape. The CIA has surreptitiously dug into the magic bags of the
world's occult and shamanistic traditions and has opened a potential
Pandora's box. Take heed to the words of L. Ron Hubbard during a 1952
lecture of the Philadelphia Doctorate Course. Hubbard warned that
Scientology contained "methods of controlling human beings and thetans
which have never before been dreamed of in this universe." He stated
that these control mechanisms were "of such awesome and solid
proportions that if the remedies were not so much easier to apply, one
would be appalled at the danger to beingness that exists in
scientology." Hubbard concluded that George Orwell's "1984" would be
"the palest imaginable shadow of what a world would be like under the
rule of the secret use of scientology with no remedy in
existence."(48)
Inserting the words "remote viewing" in place of "scientology" in the
above statement might indicate that these words should be taken as a
warning. With a strong foothold in the New Age psyche, remote viewing
has become a faith-based prescription for a lost civilization:
millennium cosmopolitans stuck in vibrational transport to the Next
Level of Human: Heavens Gate's conveyor-belt to God. The dissociative
dynamics of this new cottage industry is ironically reflected in the
fact that it is being peddled within the "virtual reality" landscape:
a land populated by "techno-pagans" and recruiters. Since it also has
the ostensible stamp of "science," remote viewing is a symbol for the
boredom-fatigue of the technological age. It is simple: we want to be
"anywhere" but here.

"the palest imaginable shadow of what a world would be like under the
rule of the secret use of scientology with no remedy in
existence."(48)
Inserting the words "remote viewing" in place of "scientology" in the
above statement might indicate that these words should be taken as a
warning. With a strong foothold in the New Age psyche, remote viewing
has become a faith-based prescription for a lost civilization:
millennium cosmopolitans stuck in vibrational transport to the Next
Level of Human: Heavens Gate's conveyor-belt to God. The dissociative
dynamics of this new cottage industry is ironically reflected in the
fact that it is being peddled within the "virtual reality" landscape:
a land populated by "techno-pagans" and recruiters. Since it also has
the ostensible stamp of "science," remote viewing is a symbol for the
boredom-fatigue of the technological age. It is simple: we want to be
"anywhere" but here.
