98: CIA Remote Viewing, Astral Projection & 'The Gateway Experience'
Description
This week on Black Hoodie Alchemy, Chris Fiato and Seedperson1 join me once again to help build off the recent conversations we've had about the connected web of: synchronicity, Hermeticism, psychology, physics, and even things like clairvoyance, remote viewing, ESP in general, and astral projection.
After discussing JB Rhine and his ESP research at Duke University, we are now diving headfirst into the waters of the CIA's research into remote viewing, astral projection, and all forms of extra sensory perception. We talk about Robert Monroe, the Monroe Institute, and the CIA's interest in what he dubbed "The Gateway Experience," which all sounds extremely Inception-esque. For many years, the CIA would send agents here to be literally programmed through a brain-hemispheric-synchronization process that is said to be similar to states achieved by monks in meditation, and agents would learn to both remote view and astral project at will.
And while the CIA says today that they found little to no use from their research in the Monroe Institute, their declassified documents say otherwise, and curiously, the Monroe Institute is still around today -- ready to train you like they did all those agents, but for a hefty fee!
We also talk about Ingo Swann, Uri Geller, and the related members of the Stanford Research Institute that were also well funded by the CIA in their efforts to scientifically document and analyze various forms of ESP.
It's all the way down the rabbit hole this week! We had a lot of fun and we hope you dig it.
